Yep, from all appearances I still do.
(Somewhat) seriously, I expect to repost a few "old" stories here in text-only form, so bear with me if you're one of the few who already saw them here as PDFs a few years ago. (I'll leave the PDF versions up, unless the same folks favorite the text ones to be completist nerds. And yes, this means I've finally come down on the "stop screwing around with PDFs and just do text" side of the PDF-or-text question. As much as I love typography, the truth is that I don't generally want to read short stories that way anymore, so it's kind of silly of me to expect others to.) Other stories may be on their way, mostly from the lost archives of Yarf! and FurVersion.
But wait, are you ever doing anything new?
Magic 8-Ball says: "Signs point to Yes." We'll see.
In the meanwhile, I've actually been posting on a competing web site, which I'm sure I shouldn't mention but it rhymes with FoSurry. Why? Because basically, I think they care more about writing over there. I've had my kvetches about their predecessor site--and even the current site, as of this writing--but the beta of SF 2.0 looks pretty nice, and I'm hoping to actually start making it better once it gets into 2.1 or so. And I won't lie: I got more page views over there in about three months than I've gotten over here in five years, without doing appreciably more work to get it. Stories are also a lot more readable there. And it integrates gracefully with Readability, will soon support exporting to ePub, and on and on.
Also, an ebook version of Why Coyotes Howl is on the way, with two new stories that weren't in the print collection ("Carrier" and "The Narrow Road in Morning Light"--yes, both of them are also here and on SoFurry).
