We’ve Got a Theme!
✴︎

Drum Roll Please… Our Theme is:
Bio-Hazard BloomIn a world ravaged by pollutants, toxins, and waste.. a cataclysm has befallen the earth, but life has not perished; it has mutated.
The wasteland here is not barren, but overflowing with mutated, glowing, and strangely beautiful life that has adapted to harsh conditions.
The familiar landscapes have given way to a vibrant, unsettling ecosystem where the very substances that once threatened existence now fuel a new, bizarre, and beautiful burst of life.
It’s a world where radiation has given birth to bioluminescent flora, where scavenged technology has been incorporated into organic forms, and where the “hazard” is also the source of new, vibrant, and unsettling beauty.
Explore the paradox of danger and beauty, decay and rebirth. A moment in time where the “hazard” is intrinsically linked to the “bloom.” Discover the radiance in ruin and celebrate the relentless, often grotesque, ingenuity of adaptation.
Design our Effigy!!!
Now that we have our theme- let’s get our effigy designs sent in so our effigy team can begin their work!
We want to make this quick and easy. Do you want to throw some ideas at us without much commitment? Or do you want to be involved for the whole kit and caboodle? Let us know your interest and level of involvement.
Please fill out form by November 1st, 2025.
Help Us Revamp the Survival Guide!
The Interfuse Survival Guide is a multi-page document that helps virgin and veteran burners alike prepare and plan for another year of burning at Interfuse! It’s been a while since it’s had a major facelift, so we are requesting community input on what needs to be added or changed. Click the button below to access a google doc and leave suggestions!
Alternative Comms
Hey, just a little reminder—we’ve got a Discord server, and we actually want you to use it! Since many of us are looking to slowly escape the clutches of Facebook, Discord can be where you’ll find real-time updates, community chatter, and the occasional spicy meme away from the Zuck’s watchful eyes. Come hang out, ask questions, and help us build a space that’s as weird and wonderful as the burn itself.
And guess what! We’ve also got a subreddit! If that’s more your jam, come join us over on r/Interfuse.

Time for a new novel idea!
