High Adrenaline Exchange

Creators are revealed! Congratulations to everyone, and super duper especially the winners of Triple Crown round 5!

Thanks from the bottom of my kidneys to Asymptotical/Firebird, Leaf/Tavina, lailah_tov, and anonymous additional tagmods and helpful people who made this year's HA happen, plus the pinch hitters, plus everyone who left great feedback last year. Thanks again to Leaf and also to the saintly Modzilla for not biting my head off when I blithely scheduled HA against both FFFX and AU5k, oops. I'll try not to do that again.

Please leave me all your thoughts and feedbacks, especially on this year's big changes: the nombo combo of Google form and AO3 nominations, the sign-up checkbox for comics opt-in, post-deadline pinch hit opting in to two half-length works, two weeks between deadline and work reveals. Email highadrenalinemod@gmail.com if you have thoughts you don't want to put here.

I'll level with you... when I started setting up this round of HA, I thought it would probably be my last one and then I'd hand it off to someone else. But then everything went SO WELL and SO SMOOTHLY that I've totally fooled myself into thinking it will always be this easy, so I'm on board for 2026. I hope you are too!

Tremendous! Stupendous! WE DID THE THING! Works will be revealed on Sunday March 2nd at 9:59 PM Eastern Time as planned!

Somehow NO pinch hitters have left prompts on the pinch hitter prompt post. It's not too late, pinch hitters! Please let us shower you with the gifts you deserve!

The collection is now unmoderated, so feel free to shower other people with treats as well. Remember that short treats go in the Low_Adrenaline_2025 collection.

Take the next three days to make your work look extra beautiful. On Sunday, we FEAST.

These pinch hits are due Tuesday 25 February at 9:59 PM EST. This deadline is negotiable, so if you can take one with a longer deadline, let me know and we'll talk about it.
