STT Community Fill-in Crossword

in The Bridge
Inspired by the @ByloBand's Word Search, I have created a new pastime: a Fill-in Crossword with the names of many distinguished captains of this forum, as well as some words related to this game and community.
I am not sure if you know what a Fill-in Crossword is, this is the definition on Wikipedia: “A Fill-in Crossword (also known as crusadex or cruzadex) features a grid and the full list of words to be entered in that grid, but does not give explicit clues for where each word goes. The challenge is figuring out how to integrate the list of words together within the grid so that all intersections of words are valid.”

I have probably forgotten many distinguished captains, so I apologize in advance. But according a Spanish saying: ‘No están todos los que son, pero sí son todos los que están’. Although it is hard to translate it literally because of the meaning of the verbs ‘ser’ and 'estar' (in English both are 'to be'), this is the most accurate translation keeping the spirit of the message: ‘Not are here all who matter, but they matter all who’re here’
I have had to set a limit on words of 18 letters, and I also had to shorten up some names (and without numbers). There are 94 words in total, and I think the level of difficulty is quite high, so I’ve tried to add as many initial words as possible so they act as guides. I've attached the original file, and I’ve also attached the Fill-in Crossword resolved, in case you get stuck at some point.
I hope you like it!

Aupa Haere Lintesereg!
Anyhow, thanks for the inclusion!
Still blown away with how cool this is
(NOTE: I do not actually have Word - I use Open Office - but I saved it in the Word format)
I only remember a little German, but enough to express my gratitude.
Such a great and creative community!
Thank goodness there weren't clues associated with the names. I may be an obsessive compulsive data nerd but I don't need to see it in print, lol.
Thanks so much, fun!
I still have to finish ByloBand's word search, I guess I'll have to print them out both
Nice work!
It is visually addicting, I managed to just mentally solve the upper left quadrant (the Gamma Quadrant?) and had to stop myself.
Finally got our printer working, so I'll be doing this tonight!
At least it’s trimmed and clean
Thank you for putting this together @Haere Lintesereg!
I encourage anybody who wants to do this to print out that file I attached and go for it, it is pretty challenging.
Only took me about 70 minutes. Could have done it in less were it not for a combination of RL distractions and a copy of tricks built into the puzzle
I'm glad that all of you liked this! Thank you very much for your kind words!
