Nanaki (ナナキ) is a fanfiction writer and member of Sodor Island Forums.

Whatever Happened to Smudger?
Nanaki's first major fanfiction series, the stories revolved around Smudger leaving Sodor and starting a new life on Yamashita Island, an island off the coast of Japan. There are two major railways - one standard gauge (Upper Valley Railway), and one narrow gauge (Lower Valley Railway) - and both are linked through dual gauge lines through Hasegawa Valley.

As Nanaki originally decided to use Smudger to completely replace the roll of Stanley, including making him American, in order to generate conflict with the rest of the Japanese cast during the era of World War II. Smudger was initially distrusted and disrespected by the rest of the engines, but after saving another engine from scrap, he became known as a really useful engine.

Tales from Hasegawa Valley
A short-lived continuation of WHtS, focusing on the different adventures of the other engines of the Upper and Lower Valley Railways.

Jack and the Pack: Code Blue
An ongoing fanfiction series focusing on The Pack. A rival construction company, known as "Code Blue", has begun to take over the Sodor Construction Company's work. They are lead by a machine known as Azel, a truck almost identical to Kelly but with a large steam shovel instead of a crane.

As time progresses, conflict between the two companies grows more and more malicious, until the Code Blue machines kidnap Jack and attempt to crush him under the Lightning Tree. Azel has a change of heart after a talk with Kelly, and comes to Jack's rescue at the last moment, only to be crushed himself.

In recent stories, the structure of Code Blue's group has begun to fall apart; Azel was abandoned by the Owner, and Hulbert, the group's dump truck, was taken in to police custody before being sold. Before he left, he warned another machine, Jantis, to leave Code Blue as soon as possible.

The Valley Railway Series
The Valley Railway Series is a complete canonical reboot of the "Whatever Happened to Smudger?" series, with new characters, changed locations and names, and improved research for locations and engine prototypes. Because of this, several characters from the original series (such as Retsu the Turbine Engine and Damu the Mine Tram) are no longer present. Hiro will also appear, giving a fuller explanation of what his homeland was like before he left, prior to the events of "Hero of the Rails". Smudger is also no longer a replacement for Stanley; he is completely his own character, and one line has him wonder about Stanley before he leaves Sodor.

Characters include:


 * Smudger - the central character of the stories. After being purchased from the Mid Sodor Railway, Smudger is brought to the Lower Valley Railway to start a new life.
 * Edward Mann - the oldest engine of the Lower Valley Railway. He's a hard-working engine who knows the railway very well, and helps Smudger get used to his new home. He is based on "Thomas Bach" of the Llanberis Lake Railway].
 * Candy - a vertical boiler locomotive built for the slate mines. She is cold towards Smudger, but the reason why is yet to be revealed. She is based on the locomotive "Chanloner", but her name reflects the replica engine "Taffy".
 * Lewis - a tank engine owned by the Mainland's military. Lewis is bossy and rarely thinks for himself, only doing what his superiors tell him to do. He is based on the same Baldwin tank engine as Stanley, and his personality is based on Bluenose from TUGS.
 * Takao - an elderly tank engine from the Upper Valley Railway. He helped build the railway, and still works his hardest, despite his age slowly catching up with him. He is based on the same box tank engine as Neil.
 * Naomi - a steam motor coach of the UVR. She thinks very highly of herself, and hardly ever does work that will make her coach dirty. She is based on the Ivatt GNR rail motor coaches], specifically the type used for No. 5 and 6.
 * Misaki - a brand new tank engine Smudger met on his trip to the island. Misaki is fun-loving, and has a "big sister" complex towards the LVR engines. She is based on the LMS Fairburn 2-6-4T.
 * Morning Light - also known among his friends as Akio. He was rescued from scrap thanks to Smudger and his friends, and now works pulling heavy good trains to and from the Mainland. He is based on the experimental SR Leader class locomotive.
 * Hiro - a locomotive built specially on Keikan Island, while he is owned by the Mainland's railway. A big, powerful engine who hauls heavy goods trains between the two islands, Hiro is wise and dignified. The engineers affectionately refer to him as the "Master of the Railway".
