Author has written 1 story for Lion King.

Hi there!

I am new here. I never thought I'd ever write a story myself. English is not even my native language *sorry*.

I love Lion King. I grew with it. Maybe had a crush on Simba as well (awell). Then I found an interesting, rather annoying difference between the end of The Lion King and the beginning of The Lion King 2. No matter what the officials said. I prefer to think (stubbornly), the cubs presented on the movies, are definitely different cubs, or at least different occasions, also different treatments from Rafiki ("Oh, Rafiki, did you follow procedures or just did as you pleased to the cubs?").

Seeing the Lion Guard. Maybe it was Kiara's presentation at the beginning of the Lion King 2, and Kion's presentation at the end of the Lion King 1. (Kiara was presented first. The ending of Lion King 1, simply skipped to the very end of presentation ceremonies on that day, which was Fluffy's).

Simba and Nala brought Kiara out. Rafiki presented her, put the juice marking then he returned Kiara, to bring Fluffy out. That was Simba and the others were already waiting outside (Lion King 1 ending Scene).

Also, Fluffy/Kion's? presentation was kinda sunnier than Kiara's and definitely Simba's presentation. Simba's presentation was in early morning (see Rafiki's shadow), Kiara's was fairly morning too. But Kion's was later, the scene was brighter (even though we haven't managed to see the sun ray of the great king spirits on Fluffy to be exact)...

Then I found out about Kopa and the fan theories about him. I love some of them and hate some more... Still cool with those though. Later, pieces of plots made their way to my mind... And an image of my own fictional character showed up (not going to make major appearance throughout the story though). That's when I decided to make my own story for my own character. From there, jigsaw-puzzle-pieces of events starting to show up.

And as Kopa was readily out there, I'll just fit him into the story. (Kopa, sadly I can't put any Tanabi or Chaka or Shani or so on as they're still on the producer's mind, well except for Mheetu. I need him and definitely love him as Nala's light, blue-eyed brother).

Sadly, I don't have access to the Six New Adventures (only found 3 out of six by far) or many Lion King comics/stories aside the two original ones. Just hope that I manage to cover most of the loopholes. (Open up to reviews and corrections as long as there are "official proofs").

And the last, the bad news. I'm still trying my best to put these "puzzles" together, to make the story flows and complete the events. The story plot was already completed. I know the the beginning, most sides/flashbacks and end. But the parts are still pretty much raw, depends on how detailed they will be. But I am working on it when I can (mostly, they came before I fell asleep, made me write 300-1000 words or so, each time. One scene then jump to another... Back and forth and so on...)

But I will most likely get it done and update once I'm ready to post the right prologue (sorry about the many buts).

I'm still accepting suggestions for the title, along the way. Just, PM. I don't really like the current one.

Then, should I be... merciful? Is it good to let Nuka life and put him back in the story (as a kinder lion, of course)? I mean, In the story he's the only thing that's left from Taka and Zira. Not an important point though...

Also... I feel kinda greedy (and there might be too many coincidences already). I'm considering to include Ni in the story, maybe as a pride leader or even Mheetu's mentor. I'm open up for suggestions.

And don't expect for a Kopa-Vitani, I kinda liked the idea but just, not fit here. And Vitani was apparently harder to be manipulated than Nuka. But still chance to pair them though.

And I love the Lion Guard development (even I can't watch the episodes, I found spoilers around). It's nice if Kion-Rani happens. But sadly it will left Vitani alone again (I wanted to ship her with Kion at first). Vitani Kion and Zuri could always find new fan made characters though, maybe with some youngsters from Ni's pride...

And I might need to post a poll on who, to rule and stay on the Pridelands. Between Kiara or Kopa. Stil a long way to go though. And I already have an alternate that might satisfy everyone as well (either way I guarantee. Kiara would be queen and Kopa would be king. Even Kion might be a king also, if Disney plans him to be). They're all royals anyway.

Pfffinally... I hope to get the strength to work this out.

Thanks anyway.

The story of what happen during and after The Lion King also before and after The Lion King 2. Still accepting suggestions for the title, along the way, *notes on my profile. Not exactly T-Rated but just to be save... *I don't own the characters. Most characters are Disney's. I merely inspired.
