Well, you still have that Kodi/Dusty story to do...

And I'm wondering how far this Outbreak story of his will go...

True, true, but I need to finish A New Life and maybe even write the sequel before that one. However, I WILL get something put down on paper that I can go from.

And, I am also curious about this Balto: Outbreak. If its like Dawn of the Dead... *shudders* Who will be the dead? The humans? Or the dogs? Will Jenna get 'killed' and turn on Balto?! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
TELL US!!!

I am hoping this will take place in a DIFFERENT town... far away from Nome where the dogs, including Balto and Jenna, will visit... unknowing what has happened there...

Yeah, I agree. That sounds a lot better (and easier on my heartstrings, lol).
To all: Again, thanks for all the comments and reviews! It really helps to know that people actually READ my stories. (Although I'll admit the summary for When You Come Back to Me Again probably made it seem uninteresting. Oh well!)
Betrayal has been sent! Its only a matter of time now.
Alright, opinion time!
Which should I write first:
1: Balto-A New Life
2: 'Steele's Revenge' (the sequeil to A New Life, takes place between B2 and B3)
3: A story I may or may not have mentioned on the forums yet, I'll probably call it Blood Lust or something like that.
Basically, a new female arrives in Nome. Kodi notices that she is alone most of the time and tries to befriend her (this will not be another cheating story). What he doesn't know is that a shattered past relationship still haunts her, and she has a certain way of 'releasing her demons'...

Okay, what do you think?

If "Steele's Revenge" is a sequel to "A New Life", then it's best to write "A New Life" first so they won't be confusion. But the last story caught my interest...

Yeah, I figured as such. Its pretty much a choice between A New Life and Blood Lust, but I'm going to wait and see what people think.
Thanks for your opinion! By the way, great job on the updated Balto/ADGTH site! It looks awesome!

Yes, Outbreak does take place in a different town, about forty miles from Nome.
The radio monitor in Nome recieves a message from the cheif of Police there, and it is cut off by screaming and gunshots, then... static.
No contact is made for several days, and one of Lukes new friends has... or had family there, so he wants to go investigate.
Luke goes with him, and then about eight other men volunteer as well.
They go by dogsled, and so balto goes as well, once again a lead dog.
Jenna goes because of two reasons...
One, she can't let Balto go by himself, and two she still doesn't quite trust Balto (after what happened with Angel) enough to let him go on his own.
Sad but true, Balto's credability with Jenna isn't so great right now.
(And why would it be, he CHEATED on her after all!)
Anyway, they get there, and the town has been wiped out, there's signs of battle (bullet holes, fires ext.) all over the place, but no people, not one.
The whole town is not quite dead though, as the team soon finds out.
And yes, there are human and dog... undead roaming around.
Yes, Jenna does get infected, and yes she does turn on Balto, making him have to fight the female he truly loves, but as for the ending?
That's gonna be my little secret till you read it.
I should finish The Uniea War this weekend, and will start on Part III of The Talkeet Trilogy, Father and Son.
This one wil be sad, but good. In this one, Talkeet falls away from the light and joins the fight AGAINST Aleu!
This eventually leads to him being assigned (since he knows the different ways in and out of the cave) to kill Aleu so the war will end without wiping out the Talbourne clan. (This wouldn't happen, if the Uniea, especially Talkket killed Aleu, he would follow them to the very end of time and never relent, no matter what theconsequences were!) The plan is for Talkeet to kill Aleu, while the Uniea clan attacks the Talbourne at the cave, thereby drawing away as many of Aleu's "security team" as possible. Talkeet will still kill quite a few of them to get to her though.
He gets to Aleu, and after a brief discussion about "why" Aleu and Talkeet fight. Talkeet gets her down (he's stronger, faster, and his power is backed by fire. (or shade) Now, if you're saying to yourself... "hmm, didn't Shade die?" then let me answer that for you.
No, Shade did not die.
Aleu kept him from making a physical apearence on this earth, as well as anywhere else but his plane, or Hell.
His influence is still here though, he's just unable to manifest himself.
Anyway, back on topic...
Talkeet get's Aleu down, and she's hurt, and he's about to finish the job (kill her) when Dash steps in.
Aleu get's away, and after another brief talk, Talkeet attacks his father.
The two of them are both very good fighters, so this is a long involved... brutal battle.
Eventually, one of them will win, but who?
You'll have to read it to find out, it could still go both ways.
Just so that you understand, Talkeet is not a "bad-guy" but simply a confused one. He does what he does for a good reason, he just goes about it the wrong way.
He doesn't want to kill Aleu, but... if it has to be done for peace to come, he's willing to do it.
I think this one is going to be fun to write.
I have a question to ask you guys....
Which story should I write next,

1. Balto: Outbreak
2. Balto: Memories
3. Balto: When Love Isn't Enough

I can't make up my mind, though outbreak is going to a fun one to write, Memories is delving into the characters a little more, which I like, developing them, and letting us get to know even more about them, and then there's When Love Isn't Enough, which is going to be sad, but I think a great story, so, which is it?
It'll probably take me 1-2 weeks to get Father and Son finished, so you've got about a week to think about what you'd like to see next. (a week because the week before I start writing I create the cover, as well as brainstorm)
Just post your vote in your posts.
Thanks!
Well, gotta go!
SEMPER FIDELIS!

*Shudders the summary of Outbreak* Your evil, you know that... no offense though...

And the next story you should do AFTER the three-part story should be the When Love Is Not Enough... unless you want to put down a preview of Outbreak on here... Just like a small preview of Betrayal that was posted at the start... If ya wanna... After all, be intresting to see how Jenna will get infected...

*leans back from computer screeen* Holy snap!! This Outbreak is gonna be GOOD! I can tell! *re-reads post* Aw man, I HATE tough choices like this, but this is the order in which I think you should write them.
1) Balto: Memories
2) Balto: Outbreak
3) When Love Isn't Enough

So there you have it. By the way, which do ya think I should write first?
A New Life
or
Blood Lust
You've already seen a good portion of A New Life, and I'll send a teaser for Blood Lust soon, but there's a brief description of BL a couple of posts above this one.

Stay creative! Fight the boredom! AND KEEP WRITING! OR ELSE!!
HaHa, just kidding! Good luck!

Erm.... Blood Lust, I say!

Ya know what, forget the poll. I'll get a teaser of Blood Lust posted, and then I'll finish A New Life. I'm so close, I can almost TASTE it.
Then, of course, I'll switch modes to Blood Lust.
As soon as THAT one's done, I'll go to 'Steele's Revenge.'
And after that.... Well, I do have an idea for an extremely short story that will kinda branch off of Steele's Revenge, so I may go with that. Unless, of course, I get another idea. MUAHAHAHAHA!
*Ahem* Sorry 'bout that, we writers have creative bursts as well as *shudders* creative withdrawls. The latter is NOT a pretty site.

Please note that this 'writer's schedule' is subject to change. I'll keep you guys posted. *ducks to avoid flamethrower bursts because of bad pun*
C'ya!

*Splashes a bucket of water on you* Better?

That sounds good Lonewolf, you should always (or almost always) finish one story at a time.
It's a lot easier working that way.

About Outbreak...
Jenna get's infected by being bitten.
At the time of the attack, the people don't know that being bitten is the way the infection spreads, but they soon find out, and refuse to take Jenna with them.
Balto refuses to leave her, so the team leaves him in the town... alone.
Luke doesn't want to abbandon him, but... it's either that or hang around 'till Jenna becomes one of those "things" and kills him.
Balto, all alone now, will not give up on Jenna, and follows the team to the military base nearby, where the team is hoping to find some help... instead they find the same situation only worse.
It seems the odd plauge originated here. (big surprise lol)
Balto is pretty much dragging Jenna by this point, as she continues to get sicker and sicker.
Her mind also begins to warp a bit, and she sees things differently, like she starts to think of the dead things they pass as food, and gradually...
Balto starts looking pretty good.
Balto is hoping that there is an antidote somewhere, and he finds it but...
before he can administer it.... Jenna "dies". Then she attacks him.
How will this end?
I can't tell you, you'll have to read it and see!
I'm torn...
I REALLY want to write Outbreak, but at the same time Memories is calling, and I've got a lot of ideas for When Love Isn't Enough....
I might write Outbreak and Memories at the same time.
I know this breaks the rule I just talked about, but... it might make it easier for me to decide.
I don't know, what do you guys think?
HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Your evil, you know that, don't ya? Poor Jenna... I'll be amazed of how she'll be turned back 'alive' in your story...

And having three story ideas really hurts, doesn't it?

Yeah, I'd have to agree with Ninetalesuk: Having 3 story ideas DOES hurt.
Well, I don't quite know what to say on your decision any more. I'm as torn as you are.
But, since Balto: Outbreak is the most prevalent in your posts, I say write that one and get it off your mind, at least long enough to write Memories and When Love is not enough.
And yes, I changed my opinion on the order, here it is again:
1) Outbreak
2) Memories
3) When Love is Not Enough
