As March is coming to an end, and about a quarter of the year has gone by, it's time to check up and see how I'm doing on the resolutions I made back in January. I'll be doing this again at the end of June and the end of September.

Grades are given out on a "Pass/Fail/Incomplete" basis and are my own personal opinions of how I think I'm doing thus far in each category, along with an explanation of some of the things that have happened in each department in the last three months.

1. Attempt to catch up on past requests: Not much has changed since January, the "Rock of Gibraltar"-sized block remains in regards to the already active stories and no progress has been made on anything else that has already been reserved. However, there is a story that I likely will be starting on in the next few weeks that has been requested by someone, but then again I've said that before and nothing has been done.
Current Grade: FAIL!

2. Add at least 2 new episodes of "Independent Thoughts": A couple of weeks ago I began working on a second episode of the series and it is still in progress. So far, a third episode will not begin to be produced until episode 2 is done.
Current Grade: Incomplete

3. Add some new Sex Fantasy stories: No progress has been made on the one that was in progress and I haven't really had time to think of any others as of right now.
Current Grade: FAIL!

4. Add a little more variety to the stories I write: While additional parts of Meeting Mari and a couple other raposa-based stories have been produced in the last few months, they have been a bit more spaced apart than they were back towards the end of last year and I've also taken a few more chances with characters I've never used before (such as zorua). I have another story featuring a new character in the works and hopefully I'll be able to post it sometime this spring.
Current Grade: PASS!!!

5. Begin a brand-new raposa related series: A more detailed production list for this series has produced, however uncertainty in regards to where I'm gonna post it is keeping me from getting started on it for the time-being. Well, that and about the nine billion other things that are going on at the same time.
Current Grade: FAIL! (for now)

OVERALL ASSESSMENT: Well...it seems like I still have a long way to go. As of right now I only see one of the five resolutions that I made being accomplished at a rate where I'd give myself a passing grade. To make matters worse, baseball season is fast approaching and once it arrives, my free-time will decrease considerably. However, much like last year, I'll be taking a "summer vacation" from early-May through Labor Day, where I work on the stories I want to work on most of all...whether or not they're on the production schedule. Some of them will be and will likely be finished faster than others, so maybe when I give you guys the Halftime Report in June, more of these resolutions can be considered accomplished

Anyway...now for the other bit of news.

May 1 marks the 5th anniversary that I joined Yiffstar (now SoFurry), and as such, I'd like to do something special for that occasion. So, I'd like to hear some ideas from all of you, what can I do for my 5th anniversary on SoFurry?
