construction notes (warning: spoilers)

i'm taking a bit of a break from crossword construction right now, but i decided to make this on a whim today. honestly, maybe i should do more of these? it's way more fun to write cryptic clues than regular ones.

favorite clue: 6A (the last clue i wrote, oddly enough!)

thanks for solving!
