The Midi Contest Is Heating Up! (META)

Guys look look I made a meta guys

I made this (in like 15-20 minutes) for the new Crosshare contest series! The theme is 17-Across (hehe 17 hehe das me). If you don't already know the theme, you can look at the picture provided.

I decided to make a meta for this contest! Just worked with the grid, so I decided why not. Hope you can figure it out! And apologies for the mediocre fill. 😬
