Before PALES, (14A: Loses color), I had DULLS at first, then FADES. Didn't realize that it was wrong because some of the letters were correct. Should have realized that 12D (Media mogul with a book club) was OPRAH

pretty nice midi #crossword this week. Enjoyed the theme even if I got it right away from the first two asterisk clues. This is the first I think that I've heard of "HOI POLLOI" (11A *The masses). I thought more along the lines of "VOX POPULI" but that wouldn't have fit the crosses (and theme)

idk whether to post each separate Drawtober post as it's own or make it all into a thread lol. But I think I'll do it post-by-post, since Bsky's hashtag system is good
