ACTIVITY + UPDATES

[groundrules]

Hi folks!

A few admin bits and bobs below, as we prepare to wrap up Arc VII with the imminent announcement of the tyrant Caesar Caius Justus’… repeat fall onto a plethora of knives. Gravity: the leading cause of death among the Ancient Roman 1%.

But first — activity check. In November, sufficient activity wasn’t found for:

Daenerys | A Song of Ice and Fire — RECLAIMED
River Song | Doctor Who — RECLAIMED
Benedict Fox | Last Case of Benedict Fox — RECLAIMED
Lan Sizhui | The Untamed — RECLAIMED
Su Xunxian | Oh! My Emperor — RECLAIMED
Eda | Owl House — RECLAIMED
Vanessa Ives | Penny Dreadful — RECLAIMED
Merrin | Star Wars — RECLAIMED

Drop a line by 23:59 GMT on 4 December if any proofs were missed, or if you’d like to talk about potentially reclaiming.

Otherwise:

■ Applications are now open for a final round until 18:00 GMT on 5 December!

■ The Story So Far and Calendar pages have been updated.

■ While we bask in the holidays, the party will be heading into a cooldown period combining the stuff of fairytales with a few... chills. A final wrap of the impact of everyone’s decisions in Ephes will be posted in the cooldown event plotting post.

■ On that note, in keeping with tradition: there will be no activity requirements this month, except for people who hiatused or failed AC in November, who will now have to produce regular activity in December.

ACTIVITY RECLAIMS

[groundrules]

Hello! Comment here by 23:59 GMT on 4 December with any missed activity proofs or to talk about reclaiming, please!

As a heads up, reclaimed characters, or those hiatused in November, must still produce activity in December.

Thanks!

[traaaaaash]

Oof, might I reclaim?

[groundrules]

So, Eda was also hiatused in September, and AC was a bit minimal in Oct, before the November miss. I'm sensitive things have been tough and want to accommodate, but I think it'd have to mean something like 1.5 x AC in both Dec and Jan for a reclaim now, given everything. That'd mean either 8 log comments or 15 network comments in Dec, and the same in Jan. Would that be feasible?

[traaaaaash]

Yeeeah, I get that. I think I can do that, yes!

[groundrules]

Okay, let's try that!

[traaaaaash]

Thank yooouuu <3

[nochnaya]

can i reclaim? i should've hiatused, i'm sorry 😔

[groundrules]

That's done for you, thanks!

[topoiran]

Please. I'll do better in BOTH the coming months!

[groundrules]

Sorry — this is on me, I forgot to put down, but Lan Sizhui also didn't make AC. Are you interested in reclaiming both, or would you like to drop down to one to maybe make the load easier on you?

[paperbutterflies]

I was wondering. Yes, please. (It's not the load, it's my focus, and that's on me. ILU.)

[groundrules]

Okay — let's give it a final go, and if AC is missed for both again, we can pick up from there. Will jot down reclaiming this time.

[song_of_fire]

May I reclaim?

[groundrules]

Heya — happy to jot that down for you, but will just have to ask if it might be possible to be around a bit more over the next few months, since activity in the last few prior to the miss was a little minimal. Not looking to set an actual quota, just a nudge, if that works. Thanks!

[song_of_fire]

Sure thing. I'm sorry about that. I'll be sure to be around much more. Things should be much calmer this month.

[groundrules]

Thanks!

[matermali]

Reclaim for Vanessa please! Very sorry, Big Plot Brain got lost this last quarter and I will be doing better now that my time has freed up! I did have 10 network comments over 2 thread here: ( w/ Nat | w/ Nami ), but I know that's barely skirting by and will do better in December.

[groundrules]

Will jot down the reclaim. It has been a few months of minimal activity, so would be great to see more of Vanessa around in the last few months — thanks!

[companionsgrasp]

Whoops. Reclaim please? I had it in my mind I was going to make it and clearly I did not... orz

[groundrules]

Putting that down for you, thanks!

[companionsgrasp]

Thank you!

[spoilers]

I'd like to reclaim if I could. My body rebelled, then my internet rebelled, and now I've spent a week trying not to cough up a lung. November hated me, essentially. I'm happy to still go by the double ac requirement for next month since I know I did absolutely nothing.

[groundrules]

Okay — let's go with that!
