highadrenalineexchangeHello Hello!
Creators have now been revealed! Thanks for sticking with the ride this year despite the bumps we had along the way.
I have a few questions with regards to how the event will run in the 2027 round:
1. Do we still feel that this general time of year works for us? I know that there's somewhat of a bulk of long minimum exchanges at this point in the year and while in some years (like 2025) there weren't many delays this year all three longer minimum events occurring in the first quarter of the year (FFFX, HAx, and AU5k) experienced delays, and would like some feedback on if we would like this to be earlier or later in the year. With my schedule, I could move HA earlier-ish to be more of a January/February thing, or perhaps in the future we could move this to more of a July/August or perhaps August/September thing, and I'd like to hear from you guys about whether or not that would be easier on all of our collective schedules.
2. I know we've had somewhat of a split sheet vs regular tagset nominations type of nominations for a while now - I am unlikely to ever get rid of nominating through the google form since we do need that to confirm safety fandoms, and it's very handy - but: do we have feelings about whether or not to continue using the tagset for nominations now that we can get the sheet to display a handy set of approved nominations complete with an identifier if people would like to check? Is there anyone who would strongly prefer to nominate through the tagset interface?
3. How do we feel about the optional opt in to 2 5k works? Is this something that people know about? Is this something we think could be indicated early on during signups? I feel like one of the charms of HA is definitely the 10k work in a shorter timeframe, but it's been many years since HA first arrived, and I'm curious about how other people think about potentially opting into two shorter works from the jump as with FFFX.
Thank you all again for coming along with the ride! I really appreciate you all, and hope to see you all again for HA next year.

3) I would love to have an option to opt-into 2 x 5k.

3. I think it would be cool to have the optional opt in to 2 5k works!

3. I didn't know about opting into 2 5k works, I prefer the exchange be as it's supposed to be from the start, 10k for 10k but if people like that, I don't see why not if it's already a thing. I agree it should be indicated early on for sign ups.
