Crossword Genius

Chap with stories for some other time (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

manana

'some other time' is the definition.
('manana' means at some point in the future)

'chap with stories' is the wordplay.
'chap' becomes 'man' (chap can mean a man).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'stories' becomes 'ana' (archaic term for anecdotes or gossip).
'man'+'ana'='MANANA'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for manana that I've seen before include "Some indefinite time in the future (Spanish)" , "Tomorrow in Madrid" , "Sharply-defined" , "Tomorrow in Barcelona" , "Spanish word for tomorrow, suggesting a lack of urgency" .)
