I don't think this puzzle needs further introduction. Until the next time I see you in the list or on social media, remember - when nothing seems to go right, go left! 

The Bitch Will Be Back on January 5, 2024.

The schedule's outta sorts. Granted, it's my right to mess it up because I need brain for other things at the moment. :V

Consulted with BINDER and ARCANE for this one and I think I've gotten a few bits and pieces down better with the rules and such. Their contributions and advice are appreciated as I continue to learn how to craft these heckers.
Until October 31, or until we see each other again, remember - when nothing seems to go right, go left!

The Menace will return January 23, 2024.

Small announcement. 
From here on, all Menaces will be written in a cryptic crossword format, under the handle of RIOT. 
Good luck :3c 
Thanks to SANFRAN, ARCANE, and BINDER for their assistance on my first venture.
Until later, remember - when nothing seems to go right, go left!

Feels weird to say this is the last mini for a little while, but I need to rest my brain and put some focus on things that are a bit more pressing. Don't worry - I'll be writing zingers in the meantime, but I need to pace myself better than I had been. 

The Mini will return January 5, 2024.
And until next time, remember - when nothing seems to go right, go left!

So I seriously did a miscount or something, but I'm going to be changing the format for the month of October. As it stands, this puzzle makes my 196th project. The upcoming Haymarket Mini and Menace will be 197 and 198. 

I've been at this for quite a while, but my energy has been sapped lately. I think I need some real time spent on taking the construction more slowly and seeing what I can work on, what needs to be junked, and so on. As such, I am going to go on hiatus for November and December, with the anniversary puzzle on January 12 being the next planned release. October will only have two releases, and the schedule will be ... the tiniest bit messed up. 

Menace #27, subtitled 199, will be released October 6, 2023. 
Sheydah #27, subtitled 200, will be released October 31, 2023.

Apologies to Matt, Norah, and the rest on the Daily Crossword Links crew that have to change the scoop schedule for that, but there's the teensiest little surprise I'm going to be announcing in Menace #26. Keep your eye out for that! 

In any case, let's get to the puzzle, and remember - when nothing seems to go right, go left!
