FF, as discussed last week, lorus doesn't 'do' letters

It is frustrating when posters seem to ignore numerous polite requets. Although of course it may be that lorus asks for some answers to start her off. And even if she does have letters she may not be confident enough. Anyway she always gets answers so why change

[fiction-factory]

redacted? Not sure of the BUT though

[Mamyalynne]

4 Excepted ?

[fiction-factory]

I've got the answer to 13a but as I'm only 905% sure, I'll wait until we know some letters

[Mamyalynne]

That's a decent percentage ;-)

[Captain2]

"I'm only 905% sure" - that seems pretty conclusive there FF ;0)))

[fiction-factory]

excepted fits the definition and looks good

[fiction-factory]

Hopefully lorus will give a "debut" to a letter pattern for 13a

[Mamyalynne]

13 First appearance

[Mamyalynne]

Seems I've answered it before worded slightly differently
