Dododex
ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies

@Shadow
In my experience, the hardest part of writing a story is the start. You usually plan out all the action or the really exciting parts but have no idea how to get there. The best way I get past this issue: Start at an exciting part of the story and then fill in the details that led to the event through flashback, dialogue, etc.
Not only does this eliminate the issue of how to start, but it can also captivate your readers from the first chapter and make them want more.
The best thing you can do in your writing: write what YOU enjoy, and you'll find others that enjoy it too. Hope you found this at least a little helpful.

So, I am kinda new to ark. But I started reading all the fanfic from the dodo tales guys, and the person who writes the one about reaper and... Yeh the other guy, oof, but anyways, I love the story line so far, and it inspired me to write my own, I have a tiny bit of my own writing practice, but idk, here goes!
Reign of Fire: Ep1, By SpiritBird8960
A crash
A flutter
A struggle
A Shreik
Where one life ends, another has just begun.
...
The World was ending.
As ash fell from the sky, screams rang out in a sarrowful cry all around, as the earth faced vengance for the crimes of man and the victims received salvation. Then flame washed all around, burning all, and tearing through the earth in a rightous rage, then all was quite, the stars met and a sweet silence rang clear, broken only by blessed voices, whispering soothing words to the earth, as it was rebuilt, and grown anew. This time, it would have a chance.

Elen gasped in astounded wonder, as she opened her eyes, not to a crippled world of pain and war, but a beautiful night sky, of stars, a pure air, of life, and a green, of shining glory. She glanced around her, not a soul in sight, but somehow, this was conforting. Something faintly tingled, and with sudden realization she glanced down to see a weird implant of a strange technology lodged into her arm. Weird.
A voice of happiness rang clear through the air from all around. "Welcome, to the ark."
/And so it begins! Drop a arrow if you think it is good! Look for the next one in the Allosaur section!/
@Anyone,
I'm kind of bored writing by myself and having trouble coming up with ideas. I want to do another collaberation story. At least that way we're constantly throwing something new at each other. I don't think it should involve more than 3 people. Red Pike got super chaotic and confusing because of of how many fanfictioners were writing it. Let me know if your interested so we can figure this out.

@SpiritBird and Shadow
1st Gen Fanfictioners such as Seasnake, DTG, Bob etc. have been largely inactive on Dododex. It used to be because they were extremly active on the discord, but now even the discord has died off. Of all the 2nd Gens, I think only me, Dilo Girl, and maybe Nazgul are still alive (if only a little bit). Sorry some of you guys never got to meet the most of the 1st and 2nd Gens, but who hopefully some of them will return.

Your alive still! Fascinating...
