Can anyone help with these two clues, as I've never met this kind before!
The preamble says 'both clued without definition'.
5 A. Topwriter kept getting lines censored (6) ?e????
16 A. European queen's speci (7) ?o??e??
(possibly ?o??er?)
Thanks for any help of any kind.

PS 5A - should be ... Top writer...
Sorry for the mistake.

I fear your crossing letters are wrong in both cases

[Neveracrossword]

Doorbell, thanks for that - think I'll have to give this one a miss if even my first few answers are wrong!

[Voulez-vous]

5a) liquid top = lid + quill = writer with lines (ll) removed.

16a) Letters European = lett + er s

Still none the wiser as to what is needed here, so any help appreciated from me also!

Haven't completed this yet but the theme is something to do with letters that sound like words or place-names

[Voulez-vous]

Thanks, Gregsdad.

I'll have another look with your information! Cheers.

Voulez-vous - thanks anyway, but I recycled the paper in disgust (with myself!).
