With the exception of the numbering, this crossword is very similar to all of the rest that you've encountered so far in Curios and Conundrums. I solved it in steps. First: Ignore the grid, and just answer the clues in a typical MPC fashion. Second: Put your answers in sequence, and look for context clues to help fill in gaps. Third: Try fitting your answers into the grid. Start with the longest words. Of course, I have a penchant for puns. Those who lack that aptitude are apt to have a 'tude. If you're still stymied, feel free to send me a PM.

Does anyone have any suggestions for 33A, 10D, and 21D? The only one I'm sure of is 21D - If I were "on top" of something, what's another way to describe it, fairy tale style?

I'm having trouble with one section. I have all but 4 words solved (I think) but this one sentence is messing me up. I've put them into a message form and used context clues. I also started to try to put them into the actual spaces to see if I could at least figure out how many letters the words I was looking for had, but to no avail. If I could get some help on 27d 15d 13a I would appreciate it. I really thought I had them right but I must not, unless it's the surrounding words.

13a The first movie had a lot of stars and huge conflict Not just one, but every one of them 15d As a substitute 27d Solve the second half of the clue first, then think homophonically of the rest of the clue

My thinking was correct on 2 of those at least. The last one mad me angry when I saw how simple it was. I'm still stumped on though. I really think I might have 35a wrong which is hindering my thought process.

whaaaaaaaaaaa
Half the point of a crossword is knowing how many letters each words is supposed to be, to say nothing of using the letters from solved words that cross to figure out the right one.
Who had the bright idea to do it this way!?
E: K8 helped me out, but my statement still stands

Even with the surrounding context and a crossword I think I built correctly I'm still having trouble with 6A and 4D for some reason. (Even with the other 6A clue I saw here)

I'm having some trouble with 35 A 3D. 13D. 29 D. Any help would be appreciated. I don't have my notes with me so I am going by memory and a blank grid: 29D Rumpelstiltskin was good at doing this with yarn and turning into gold... I imagine he also had an evil toothy smile 35A Runners, when running a race, start by doing this to the starting line before the pistol goes off. Then remove the E because it is extra. 13D As Darth Vader said: "Luke, I am your Farther!" 3D is escaping me... sorry.
