fandom5kIf you haven't yet done so, please see instructions at this post. I've heard from most of you, but I'm still waiting on 41 creators.
You are required to check in by 10:59pm EDT 15 May 2026. (countdown) If you don't, I'll assume you are defaulting.
In past years, I have sometimes been lenient and allowed late check-ins. This year, we have quite a few open pinch hits and no makeup assignments to give for a future year, so I'm going to have to be stricter about the check-in and main deadlines just in the interest of practicality.
To be guaranteed a gift, please make sure you check in and turn in your assignment on time.
Updated pinch hits will be posted soon after the deadline!

Witcher Rarepair Comment Exchange June 2026: Three Days Until Signups Close
May. 13th, 2026 07:56 amBelated Round 6 Wrap-Up
May. 12th, 2026 07:55 pmmodzilla posting in fffxHello longhaulers,
FFFX Round 6 ended last month! Sorry for the delay; this exchange is designed for a leisurely pace but that isn't meant to include informative updates.
I am very grateful for your participation and proud of what we all made.
Round 7 will run on a similar timetable but I expect to start nominations in July (yes - only 2 months away) with sign-ups in August.
Please comment on your gifts. If you liked your gift(s) and are pretty sure you commented, please go check right now, and hopefully it's no hardship to click on your gift(s) again. If you aren't sure, please go check. Comments or refusal are required in this exchange, to ensure either positive feedback for creators, or closure.
FFFX round 6 innovated by changing the letter completion requirement; if that affected you, let me know your thoughts! I'm inclined to keep the round 7 rules around letters the same. I'm also pondering how best to clarify my rules around minimum standards of completion in works.
Onwards!

Launch the Ship -⚓︎- Round 4
May. 10th, 2026 01:17 ammossy_bench posting in launchtheshipWelcome! Launch the Ship is a low-pressure multifandom challenge to write the first fic for a ship. It was inspired by the wonderful bethefirst (which challenges people to write the first fic for a fandom) and is similarly meant to provide a friendly little community during what can often be a lonely voyage.
All you need to do is choose a ship that has zero fics, and complete a fic for it before the deadline. Everything else is optional—you don't even need a Dreamwidth account. So let's set sail, shall we?
Important Dates:
Sign-ups open: May 20th
Deadline: July 20th, 23:55 UTC (Countdown)
Fic Reveals: July 21st, 00:01 UTC

Creators Revealed for 2026 Round!
May. 9th, 2026 10:01 pmhighadrenalinemod posting in 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.
