Just got around to this puzzle. Though I got 59A the company logo changed from a flag awhile ago.
1. Under the heading "Today's Theme":
A. "Each of the theme clues are numbered as “Writing tips,” and, as someone who writes every day, I find them all hilarious." As someone who writes every day, you have used a singular subject with a plural verb. Will this be on the NYT's next copy editing quiz? (They're fun.)
B. The answer to Tip #2 (33 across) is POOFREAD CARFULY, not CARFULLY. I thought I'd remembered that, but had to riffle through the recycling bag to check, because...
2. ...The answer key link at the end of this article does not work.

I subscribe to the puzzles but not the print paper. When my neighbor is able to do so, I get a second-hand look at the magazine if not the whole Sunday paper.
This week's comic-book edition (which I have just been through front to back minus the awful ads for Manhattan real estate) just led me to wonder if there might be a word - omphalomphalomphaloskepsis? - for the contemplation of the lint in the navel of the navel of the navel of a New Yorker? Seriously? this paper needs to get over itself in the same way folks from "the" city need to get a grip on the fact that there really is a whole world out there. Really. Just peek and you might see it! People who live east, west, north and south of Manhattan. Just think of it!

Using "overgo" for answer to "exceed is a stretch. I could see using "overDO", however...

The New York Times recently blocked paying xword subscribers from accessing puzzles through 3rd party phone apps like Crossword Classics.
The 3rd party app I use has a customizable user interface that is helpful for some solvers with disabilities. It also shows both the across and down clues, unlike the "Official" NYT app.
The 3rd party app also allows me to purchase puzzles from independent constructors, helping compensenate them and allow users to discover new, high quality puzzles. Users in 3rd party apps still pay the $40 annual fee to the NYT so the Times is not losing any money by allowing these apps.
Please allow solvers like me to continue to use Standalone's Crossword Classics--that app has allowed me to flourish as a crossword solver.

To defend the NYT a little bit, I do not believe there was any deliberate attempt to block third-party apps from automatically downloading the crossword. The changes that were made were made by a NYT security team, not any team directly related to crosswords, and were made to improve overall site security. We all may think that crosswords are the absolute most important thing in the Times, but I would bet nytimes.com is a huge target for cyber attacks these days.
All that said, one of the third-party apps still allows you to solve the NYT crossword with auto downloading. I'm not allowed to tell you which one or why it's so great, or that it's free :) But do check out the hand-drawn puzzle in it. I think Garson Hampfield, Crossword Inker was at work, and it's pretty awesome. And kudos to Tom McCoy for a really grate puzzle.

Am I the only one who does the puzzle in the actual magazine? Being on the west coast and not getting day-before delivery, as I used to in NY/NJ, I'm always late to this party. The font was comical and more unreadable than ever to these aged eyes. Even worse was the coating on the paper: I needed to keep alternating between four pens, and pencil was even worse. It took me five times longer to solve, just because of that waxy coating. Even the grid lines were wavy. What gives?
1
That funny font was used throughout the Magazine, Rita, since it was a comic book issue.
Very nice puzzle; thanks. Along the way, I learned a new word: semordnilap, a new and opposing word formed by reversing the letters of an existing word. To say more would be a spoiler for what was an entertainingly and educationally frustrating clue solved by crosses, but it's as though "erom" would mean "less."
2
BTW -- After the appearance earlier this week of the "crossword inker," all of you who solve online should look at the PDF of the print puzzle.
Late to the table. An excellent puzzle (after Deadline) for writers and editors, and, it seems, for most everyone else. Enjoyable twice: for the solve last night, and for most of the comments it prompted that I'm reading this morning.
Hi, just read the explanation of TETRA. It got me thinking. Bi- is Latin in derivation, and TETRA is Greek. So, QUADRI would be correct in the strictest sense if rules of keeping within the same language are imposed. Pity it doesn't fit the grid. But as it implies in the blog comments, rules are but guidance for the wise. Setters are, of course, automatically wise.

Not too long to realise i was in the world where it is advised to never split infinitives, nor to use a preposition to end a sentence with. I still do not get SASE, but I will be philosophical and not think about it.

Self-Addressed Stamped Envelope SASE.
1
Does not exist in UK. S.A.E. (stamped addressed envelope) is deemed sufficiently prescriptive.
... and thanks for letting me know. Its these language and cultural differences that make the NYT a refreshing change for me. More fun next week!
1
That was fun. Great theme. Well constructed. No complaints (unusual for me).
good Sunday. Cottoned onto the theme pretty quickly. "Tips" reminded me of Strunk and White in a perverse way!! Last word was canon, which is not fan fiction. I discovered fan fiction last year, after looking for sequels to the movie Brooklyn, which I loved. I always associated "canon" with the classics of literature.
1
I've worked in publishing for 36 years, so of course I loved everything about this puzzle, from the theme to the unusual look of the grid and clues in today's paper. Also love Deb's essay and the Daffy video, and all the comments. I join the crowd who thought of Fozzie first for 97D. 33A had me smiling knowingly (I might be guilty of a typo or two in my posts on WP). Only write-over was DEM before LEO for the former prezzes. Just a delight to solve from start to finish.

Yay, the tech support folks finally got back to me. My Kindle crossword app stopped working. The Times now has a Kindle app for their crosswords. It is called "The New York Times Crossword Puzzle" and is available in the Kindle app store.
I was jonesing badly yesterday when I couldn't download the Sunday puzzle, but I feel better now. The puzzle was fun and the new app worked fine. I particularly liked the redundancy rule, although poof reading was also cute.

Two clues at the top, worded so a Star Wars fan could dive right in ... well, my mind almost told me that it's a trap. ADMIRAL Ackbar is a gimme for anyone familiar with Star Wars CANON.

Thanks Deb for the Daffy Duck clip. My favorite animated character of all time. I still chuckle aimlessly wherever I happen to be should Duck Dodgers in the 24th and Half Century go through my mind.

I really enjoyed this. I skipped past the theme clues initially, hoping to get some help from the crossings. DON'T USE CONTRACTIONS was the first to reveal itself. The others fell in turn, although I got tip #7 before #6 and had a good chuckle over the repetition..
It was tip #2 that had me stumped for quite a while. Where was POO going to go? Was it POOF or POOR? When I finally figured it out, I had a small thrill of satisfaction. Great start to my day!

Pretty cute puzzle, lots of fun to figure out and chuckle over.
One stinker, alas, was AORTAL (said Nobody, Ever.) PhysicsDaughter's congenital heart defect was a malformation of the aorta (coarctation, to be precise) and there was a lot of discussion about AORTIC matters (was that valve bicuspid, as sometimes happens?) It was always AORTIC, never AORTAL.
And can't we sometimes clue AGAPE with the Greek meaning. People look dumb if they're AGAPE and AGASP.
More than usually crabby this morning... (Still not finished with the Saturday Stumper....)

From Medicine.net:
Aortal: Pertaining to the aorta, the largest artery in the body.
Aortal is not often encountered (except in The New York Times crossword). The preferred term is aortic.

someone did put it into the language, but NObody say it. Aortic arch, aortic valve, aortic aneurysm (I once had to walk across the ER waiting room and spell this for a clerk and family who could not figure it out...couldn't stand it any longer.)..
Just because you CAN construct it, doesn't mean you SHOULD construct it.

Why does it look hand-drawn? I missed the “crossword inker”.

Ryan,
(1) The PDF looks drawn because (I think) the Sunday Magazine theme was graphic stories.
(2) Look in Deb's column from May 31 (Cowboys May Ride Off Into It) for the crossword inker.

Beautiful execution of "Do as I say, not as I do". It dawned on me gradually, so a longish AHA, and very satisfactory. My poof reading usually leaves a lot to be desired so really got a kick out of that one. This was everything that a Sunday puzzle should be.

CERN told me that FOZZIE was wrong, and boy did that leave me confused.
I *loved loved loved* this puzzle. So much meat, so much tricky fill, and so much fun!! One of the best Sundays all year so far!

That had me going too. What finally got it for me was the ellipsis at the end of the clue.

Its supremely clever theme, extraordinarily funny execution, and extremely creative fill make this puzzle a deserving winner of hyperbolically laudatory comment.

Vary. Sentence. Length. Always.

Only recently began playing and this was my first Sunday Solve without any outside hints or help.
The theme totally drew me in and motivated me to gut it out.

Fun, but a weak imitation of Safire's classic rules of grammar. If you don't know them, check them out at http://dmorgan.web.wesleyan.edu/materials/safire.htm
3
There is nothing new under the sun.
I doubt that any of us imagined that similar 'rules' had never appeared before, and Safire himself does not claim that his are original. Did you read the top of the page?:
"Not long ago, I advertised for perverse rules of grammar, along the lines of 'Remember to never split an infinitive' and 'The passive voice should never be used.' The notion of making a mistake while laying down rules is HIGHLY UNORIGINAL, and it turns out that English teachers have been circulating lists of fumblerules for years."

Nor did Safire make any of them fit into a crossword puzzle.

The natural next line, suejean, is that McCoy did the same thing - but backwards, in heels.

Nice puzzle. Also, hats off to Joel for finding a way to clue "covfefe" into the mini. Gave me a chuckle, and possibly a world first as a crossword clue.
As for 97D, however, there is another character that famously "goes 'waka, waka, waka ...'":

I like that one better, CT, although I wouldn't have got the entry if that had been the clue. I get that it's from "Sesame Street," but don't know the characters except for Kermit and Miss Piggy.
My (admittedly dim) memory of PacMan's chomping noise is not waka. More like ooka.

My favorite tip of this type is "avoid cliches like the plague". Tough to fit into a puzzle though.

A lot of fun for those of us who earn our pittance as writers/editors.
I got the theme and had a giggle right away at NEVER GENERALIZE (having noted the puzzle's title). Proceeded a little and got to 33A. Got it at the beginning, the POOF part, and cracked up, but had to work to figure out the end. Bravo!
All of the themers were great, until I got to 104A, Tip #6, and couldn't figure out what I was missing. Felt truly snookered when I saw Tip #7 at 116A. That was a Gotchas of All Gotchas!
Besides the themers (I'm still giggling), pretty much everything else went swimmingly, except the far SW. Didn't remember (actually still don't remember) any connection between the clue and the game, which I loved. "MR. MOM" was not in my wheelhouse, nor was CERN, although I recognized it once I saw it. OVERGO was just peculiar. And I still don't get NODES. My graphs have AXES, of either the X or Y persuasion.
Agree with Deb about King's book. I'd also recommend "On Writing Well" by William Zinsser. That one goes back a while (not as far as Strunk & White), predating the computer age, but is well worth the read.
I remember some years back when I woman I worked with wanted me to "teach" her how to write. I explained I didn't do that, but I did edit her work. Then she saw something I had written that violated a "rule." Her eyes lit up, and she squealed that she didn't know you could do that. I said, "I can; you can't." She understood.

Because of the way I solved, I filled in the SW last, so I had Tip #7 in place and couldn't figure out why it was "incorrect" until I finally filled in Tip #6. A Gotcha in the other direction!

NODES refers to vertices in graph theory (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_theory).
"Waka" is the sound PACMAN emits while eating dots. ᗣᗣᗣᗣ ᗧ ∙ ∙ ∙ • ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙
I felt the same about OVERGO and looked it up after reading your comment. Apparently, it's legitimate, but chiefly British. It's been an entry only a handful of times.

I remember listening to the Little Old Lady From Pasadena. There was a couplet, "If you see her on the strip don't try to choose her, you might overgo her but you'll never lose her." Only time I've heard that term used in a sentence.
3
Can someone explain 22A?
I believe that fan fiction takes up where the original author's writing, the canon, leaves off.
2
Fan fiction includes stories and artwork based on characters and story lines in a given fictional world (for example, the "Buffyverse," the world created by Joss Whedon that includes Buffy the Vampire Slayer as the central character) - but isn't created by the original writer or artist but by fans of the same. "Canon" (Greek for "the rule / the law") is then used to refer to the story lines, comic books, films, etc. that are created by, or at least approved by, the original author(s).

Thanks. Never heard the term before.

Aortal: synonym of aortic seen primarily in crossword puzzles.

Actually, AORTAL is a less specifal portic than AORTic.
Trouble is, now my clock is going "talk tock"

Agree with suggestion not to use fragments. But wondering why 80A is clued "German auto co." instead of "German auto company," implying an abbreviation as answer?

AUDI = Auto Union Deutschland Ingolstadt
1
Good catch. I missed it. I suspect someone thought AUDI was an acronym.
Actually, it's Latin for "hark!," which is the translation of the German meaning of the founder's name, Horch. The company started as August Horch Automobilwerke GmbH, but he was sued by his previous company, August Horch & Cie. Motorwagenwerke AG, which he had left after some disagreement.
The story is that his son was studying for a Latin exam while having to rename to company was being discussed, and suggested "Audi."

No criticism from me today. A nice puzzle. I don't usually bother with the theme unless I get stuck, and i didn't see the theme today until I had the last fill in, tip number 2. I loved it as I am a terrible proof reader. Sometimes, especially on the larger puzzles, after filling in all the squares but not getting a gold star and then searching and searching for an error but not finding one, I have to print out the puzzle and fill in in with a pen. That usually resolves my problem.

I really enjoyed the Writing Rules part and most of the rest of the puzzle.
Waka waka waka led me to Fozzie at first, but shortly thereafter replaced by Pac-Man, a game which took many hours and many quarters from what should have been my college education.
I really dislike the spelling "eth" for the letter "edh" - I see that the wiki world has reorganized that part of the universe the same way they reorganized "Aleph null" into "Aleph naught." Edh is based both phonetically and graphically on the letter D, in contrast to Thorn.
Youth crossing Heydays was cute. Time for salad.
Musician made me smile. When I was very young but had determined that I would follow music for a career, I couldn't pronounce the word quite correctly. When people heard I wanted to be a "mugician" they responded by asking me what tricks I knew. I was at that point as puzzled as they were.

Hey all...
I've been lurking around this blog for months. (Solving crosswords for years, but just signed up to NYT a few months ago and loving it...)
I'm on the west coast and usually do the puzzles on the actual day they are intended for, so I'm usually way behind you all. Just happened to catch this one as it came out and couldn't help but jump on it. There are no comments on here as I write this, but I'm sure there are some pending. If I happen to be the first, hurrah! I'm mostly here to say hi and I enjoy all of your comments so much.
As far as this puzzle, I quite enjoyed it. Worked mostly from NW to SE and really enjoyed the broken rule when I came to it. Don't think I've encountered a repeated entry before!
See you all in the comments!
Dan
