Y HALO THAR, 2008!POLYchro. First activity check up o' this year, and unfortunately the messiest. I know a number of you have had to call a hiatus because of finals / holidays / etc, but unfortunately a good few only made a mention in poly_extra, and not the HIATUS post. The only reason I keep nagging you lot with doing that is because then I have a strict record of who's been out for how long, sooooo if you could make a memo there whenever you hiatus? Much obliged!

That said, if you know someone is hiatused (but has characters on this list), please make a note. If you see characters that have been dropped and are on this list, don't bother mentioning it, everything gets purged anyway.

Before the list itself, polling for activity again, since it's something that probably merits frequent inquiry:

[Poll #1114021]

I know a number of you have expressed some concern about how some people are never more active beyond the obligatory quota / don't do commentspam / logs. Honestly, insofar, I've personally been unable to come up with a means of checking these details out that isn't... horribly laborious. However, if you have any suggestions, please say so! All input is good input.

General reminders: presently, you're required to post twice a month. If you repick a character from this list, you're expected to post three times for them for the month of January. This list will not be passed on to the REMOVE one until January 7, so you should have plenty of time to make up your mind on whether you want to give things another go. If a character is repicked, I'll put a jolly old ✗ by its name, yes ~ ?
