Hello All!
For a time being I’m very busy with studying and working. However sooner or later (August?) I will have some free time to resume fan activity. I want to ask You already – which story You would like to read as the first? I put here both TLK and Balto material (twin-topic in the other section; please vote here and there, if You are fan of both Universes), because I’m not fully decided myself what should be my priority. Choose 2 that interest You most.
You could also put your requests for sequels, prequels and sidestories of my TLK and Balto plotlines. And here are 5 main ideas (working titles might change) I’m thinking about:

Balto projects:
1) “Where I Belong”; sequel for “Buckland Trilogy” although reading tAoS, tDoN and tAoC isn’t actually necessary. Story is focused on Kuroi – grandson of Aleu and Steele (so great-grandson of Balto) and son of Mark (son of A&S, mentioned in tAoC). But second main character is Arashi Tazaku (notable character of many of my stories), Japanese physician who lived in Alaska in times of Balto Trilogy events. Action is set in 1942, just after Pacific War broke out. Arashi Tazaku, torn by inner struggle between loyalty to his motherland and chosen country, finally decide to flee from US and reenter Japanese military. He decided to take his dog, Kuroi. So unwillingly Alaskan dog become a soldier and participator of that dramatic venture.
This is mostly a war story. Love, hatred, loyalty and betrayal are here, but accompanied by sound of blazing guns. Recommended to all fans of military stories, like Eastwood’s “Letters from Iwo Jima”, Spielberg’s “Saving Private Ryan” or… Claymore’s “Lovers Next Trench”.
If anyone is interested in helping me in this story – especially readers from US and Japan, interested of history of Pacific War, esp. Aleutian Campaign – please: contact me.

2) Unnamed sequel of AAE. If there is any fan of my co-labs with Tony Rotramel, let me know You are interested with next stories in series.

TLK projects:

3) We Are One – story based on my general plotline of TLK stories (so called “Golden Tetralogy”), set about 5 years after ending of TNR. Mvua (Golden king, son of Kota, aftercomer of Taka the Second) and Dia (daughter of Amali and Mtanga) and few well known friends from TNR featuring there. Dark story, more in vein of TPR than TNR.
Perhaps I will make some experiments with construction, introducing multiple-characters 1st POV narration.

4) the Diamond of Savannah – dark romance from old times. Queen Uru is mate of Ahadi. But after giving birth to Mufasa, her relation with king is in crisis. In the same time she meets a handsome rogue…
This story is possibly explanation of Ahadi’s and Uru’s stories and later events, described in TLK/SP however it isn’t completely compatible with my other stories.

5) The Path of Righteous One – story alternative to my TLK plotline. Tale of what would happened if Scar didn’t kill Mufasa and how it could affect round of the Circle of Life and characters of my fanfics.

You really know how to describe your next works don't you? lol!

Well, as much as I would like to see one of your future Balto works, I have to say that I'm in the mood for some Lion King.

The one that interests me the most would have to be 'We Are One' mainly due to the fact that I like that title. I was hoping you would use it one of these days, ha, ha! But yes, your summary plot for it looks really promising and extremely interesting.

I am a thousand times sorry that I have been unable to read some of your work here on the forum in recent times but I promise you that I will make it up. I shall begin by reading and reviewing whatever new work you bring here. I admire your work and you have inspired me much in my own writing, something I am truly grateful for.

So, I vote for 'We Are One'
