New year's resolutions draw

[Sushidragon]

Well, it's been quite the year! 2016 had a lot of challenges but we survived them, and hopefully 2017 will be better all around for everyone XD;

I never thought that my drawing little creatures that I called 'draconic equines' because I didn't know how to draw horses properly would be a hobby I'd continue into adulthood, but I'm so glad that it has and that it continues to bring all of us together. Through everything you've all been so supportive and patient and I'm so lucky to have this community. Thank you, each and every one of you, for hanging in there with me and being so awesome <3

I'm optimistic that 2017 will be a much better year than this one has been and that there will be plenty of time and creative energy for Samanayrs. In January I'll be catching up on all the tokens and other things that come up but as soon as I've wrapped all that up I'd like to do a small breeding season, about half the size as the 'regular' ones. That way everyone gets to enjoy some breeding fun and I don't get as overwhelmed XD;

Our sweater-wearing accessory example for gift-o-rama still needs a home, so I thought a new year's draw would do the trick

To enter the draw, just reply to this thread! You're welcome to share any Samanayrs resolutions/hopes/goals you have for the new year, but it's not a requirement. The draw will be open until January 1, 1pm PST - good luck!

My Samanayrs-related resolutions for the new year are:

- Keep up with the monthly draws
- Continue to work on the website and add new world information
- See about expanding to other sites besides PI, since things have been pretty slow there lately D:
- Not neglect the pet, accessory, and job shops
- Keep doing my best!

Happy New Year, everyone!

In 2017, I'd love to get a custom northern tribal for a mate for Knell of the Starlit Pines. The customs are always spectacular and I've never gotten one... maybe 2017 is my year!

And once again, a huge thank you for Sushi. Your art, your talent, your effort - they're so appreciated. Thank you so much for all the years of sams!

I'm going to try to get more involved in Sams in general in 2017! My Sams could use some songs and I'll try to be around more

[tierasa]

I think my main goal is to use that splice token that Retta bought me last year. I just have to find the right pairing.

So happy Sams exist. Thanks, Sushi!

[Operetta]

Happy New Year! I can't wait for another year of Sams! Goals? Hmmm....

-Use token that a super nice person got me for Christmas
-Set up Harbinger and Portent's song
-Get a foal
-Get a Sagrisayr
-Get a Mystic
-Get all my Sams in the database *been lazy on this one*

[amazondreamer]

Man 2016 has just flown by, huh? I really need to get some writing done, I've got stories in my head I just need to flesh them out. Specifically....

-how Spur and Burl met
-Study's arctic adventure
-shenanigans with Wonder and Thrum
-how and why Rime became a pet tamer

[Janalee]

Let's see, my Sam resolutions for 2017...maybe enter Sams in the database before six months have passed? And possibly make fewer mistakes when doing so? XD I'm so glad your draconic equines and this community are still around- thanks for sticking with it, too!

[CosmicDragon]

I feel like every year I give thanks that these guys are still around. <3 This is one of the few sites where I feel truly at home. Thank you, Sushi, for making this place the amazing, welcoming, creative space that it is!

My New Years resolutions for Sams? Hmmm...
- Go back and finish 'Walk in the Night' RP FINALLY because I love these two interacting with others and each other.
- Write/draw more for Healer and Sparks because I love her and want to see her grow up. ^-^;;
- WRITE FRENZY'S BACKSTORY GOSHDARNIT.
- Draw more. Draw lots, lots more.
