contents We show Shelah's original creature forcing from 1984 strongly preserves tight mad families. In particular, answering questions of Fischer and Friedman and Friedman and Zdomskyy, we show the constellation $\aleph_1 = \mathfrak{a} < \mathfrak{s} = \aleph_2$ is consistent with the existence of a $Δ_3^1$ wellorder of the reals and tight mad families of sizes $\aleph_1, \aleph_2$ which are $Π_1^1, Π_2^1$-definable, respectively. Each of these projective definitions is of minimal possible complexity.
