A Dedicated Effort [META]

Okay, here's the deal: I've been busy getting things in order for the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament (this weekend!) so I've been spending time solving crosswords instead of writing the last few puzzles. But, it's the end of the month, so why not drop the metapuzzle a little early! It's four mini-metas, where you have to match up which answers go to which metas. I haven't put up solutions to the puzzles yet (see the note above about time), so to help you out, this page has a spoilered list of every puzzle answer so far (plus the five answers that puzzles 26-30 will eventually solve to).

(This is not a puzzle gimmick, I genuinely haven't had time to knock out the last few puzzles, so ideally later on, this note will be gone and the puzzles for days 26-30 will be there).

If you want hints, feel free to email me! Also let me know if you get the answer, I might draw from everyone who solved and give a nice little prize. Who knows!

Good luck solving,
Paolo

I wrote four mini-metas, each dedicated to one person. I think I lost track of which puzzle was for who, though... Maybe you can solve them through and reverse-engineer who they were meant for? (NOTE: A meta's dedicatee and its answer will be two different things!)
