Stories Tips
What are some stories about the achatina? Memorable achatina stories, wild encounters, and fan fiction.
Alright, I’ll try and keep it short but this may be long:
Apex, thanks, I will post some stuff for my character in this post.
Sunny, cool. I did some research and it looks like you need an email. Any way to skip that? I don’t really have an email to use. If not, that is fine, I can view the discussions and browse the wiki for any information I need. Already looked through some of the chats and it’s cool to see different drawings, songs, and just hear in general about all your guys’ personalities. So many differences yet so many similarities. Super cool!
Ben, thanks for the message. In terms of my story, I will totally take you up on the ten chapters per creature through a certain section. Makes total sense. Also, thank you for the encouragement! My story does not have a name currently, as I am SO bad with names. I am gonna have to work my brain to the max for those TOT chapter names :-). I am currently making a rough outline for all the books, so if fandom ends up working for me and I can ensure there are no spoilers, I will gladly post it there if you want to see it. Still unsure if it will be limited to eight books or if I may need an extra…or two. When I am finished with the outline or at least mostly done, (it’s not a long project, just a rough sketch of chapters so I know where I am going) then I will post the prologue into wherever I start writing and start on the first ten chapters. Obviously though before that I will need to name the story first of all and then the book. So if you or anyone else come up with some ideas, let me know! If it helps, without saying too much, it is based on the ark lore in the fact that it is a ‘simulation’ I guess, with people from all over happening. No one really knows how it works, and the main characters learn about it as the story goes on. Similar plot line to the lore: three arks, then earth, then genesis parts 1 and 2. That’s it for what I will share about it for right now. If you want more info for name ideas then you could look at my character description as they will be from that timeline. As of right now I am think about something related to the keywords of like simulation/simulated, ascension with basically the title referring to the end of the story in a way. You guys are super creative and your ideas are great, so if you have any ideas don’t be afraid to share them! As far as characters for TOT, I am going to put in, drumroll please…one!? Yeah one. I hope that’s fine as this may sound confusing but I can tie in TOT canonically to my story if I do it that way. Don’t ask how, because that leads down a whole other trail of where my story can and hopefully will go, (Spoiler: I will need Ark 2 to come out for that.) But anyways, I will be using kind of my like ‘main’ main character if that makes sense. My story will focus on three, but eventually draw more focus to this one. I am going to use Alex, who is I guess at this point in the storyline around 18. She is I guess around 5 foot eight? Maybe that is relevant but I don’t know. She has average length brown hair, usually in a pony tail or long braid, and brown eyes. She is kind of ‘boyish’ you could say, I wish I had another word because that does not sound right but for lack of being able to come up with a better term at 1 in the morning, that’s what I am going with. Basically she grew up fighting a war when she was young so she has kind of developed that tough and stubborn personality. She is great with a sword or melee combat, though not necessarily the best. She learns fast and is sort of a daredevil. She takes things seriously, but by no means is unwilling to have fun with training, or even fighting an enemy. Her main two things are she is a crack shot with a bow and arrow/gun/rifle but she prefers a bow. She never misses her intended target, though she likes to think creative and hit targets her opponent may not expect. Finally, and I am going to do my best to not spoil anything for my story though some of this is found out very early in it, but this is an important note. Basically she was born on the ark which isn’t supposed to happen. (she does not have an implant, no one in my story does, but I felt like this may be important). Due to this, she has unique reactions to element and to basically sum it all up, unrefined element, like in the rivers of Aberration, or whatever I would say consumes Rockwell and corrupted creatures etc., has a negative effect on her. It is not as bad as it used to be, but can render her nearly useless in a fight. One the other hand, refined element (not sure that is the right term but I think you get my meaning) bonds with her very well, resulting in her learning of various tek equipment being extremely quick and the connection between her and it is extremely strong. (Important note, she has already used a basic version of tek armor, mechs, and weapons, so this may not be useful but throwing it out there just in case. Hope that all is helpful, and again, don’t be afraid to give me suggestions on names for my story. I think I can do the books but the entire story name is hard. Let me know if you need anything else!
Yeah…that was super long…oops. lol

Moon Tales Girl,
Glad you liked Heroes of Pandora! You read all of that so fast! I’m still trying to find the time to read the other counsel member’s stories..
As for your TOT questions, it makes sense your confused on these things because we never explained them.. I assume you mean the white and black obelisks, and yes they have abilities one is evil one is good, the black one can make people irritable and the white can heal wounds, there’s also tons of obelisks, one in each “biome” if you go online and go to Fandom, then use the search bar and type dod0dex fan fiction wiki, you should find our Fandom and you can go to the discussion section and look at everything we are talking about, you don’t need an account unless you want to talk in there, but I highly suggest everyone sees the map of TOT
Anyway second question, the books in Terran high are the books the characters are from, they have no real importance except Easter eggs and the characters learned they are book characters from them. And then the voices, not entirely sure on the voices yet, but the concept is that all the writers have the ability to communicate or slightly mess with stuff to make the story more entertaining or to stop things from happening. The voice in Sunny the Fox’s head was either Sunny (writer) or her inner voice idk, that chapter was basically just Sunny not wanting Aurora to die.. and the voice in the dagger was either the dagger itself, or if we are doing the writer avatar things it was mine “Wyverix” he likes chaos and action 😎 still not sure on if we are doing that at all, some of my passed ideas I was told sounded good but later after implementing turns out Ben and others had objections.. so I’m definitely going to make sure this addition is ok. We can always just say it’s the dagger speaking though.
-Wyvernian
ok its Moon Tales Girl again and uhhh well i ran out of space so i am back to talk about more of the stoires i read well theres not much more so
okay so i also read more of TAOH and i managed to get up to Chapter 30 and wow that was awesome Chapter 23.5 was really long but it was fun i'm lucky i read it after Tortuga because that was super fun i liked Michael getting tossed around and wow that Obelisk reference in Chapter 20 was really cool i like how its tied in im guessing that the Book Club is fanfictioners as a whole which is even cooler i like how interactive that was and also i really like the kiss scene between Neddy and Ruby it was really well done i think one of the best ive ever seen and also a little funny too, i also really liked the shooting stars after i bet Neddy wished for the two to be kept safe forever also a little sad Ben didnt make a wish i hope nothing bad happens to him also im guessing 5 is going to be an important number in the story like how theres five heroes supposedly and it ties in with five heroes in The Obelisk well that was nice i am going to have to read more at some other time especially since the chapters are very long its like a literal book
i also read more of The Obelisk and i got up to the Chapter 90 i beieve i'm almost done i think it's at the part where Jethezzar and Ripper are talking and let me just say i feel super bad for Nyx i mean she hasn't done much from first glance but she basically helped the original four out when they were getting chased by terror birds even if she didnt tell them about the rune. Also i was like Nyx NO dont listen to that Ripple but yeah im getting a bad feeling about this since i feel like this is the type of story to kill characters off but i have my fingers crossed i really hope it isnt Moonbeam i really like her
i also read the rest of TOT so i am pretty much caught up there are some stuff that confuses me like the obelisks like what exactly are their powers? i think itd b ehelpful to know because i will be writing on there soon i also am super confused by the books in Terran High and the manor and also the voices that keep running in Drain and Andrew and Sunny's head it's a bit confusing to me. There is also that weird scene with Ben and the weird doppelganger but i think that will be explained in TAOH since im not too in TAOH yet but yeah if someone could fill me in please that would be great
hello everyone it's Moon Tales Girl and wow I didn't expect to get into TOT, i guess i'm going to start writing in TOT soon... well the reason i have been gone for so long is because i'm reading most of your stoires and also working on my own
as for charactesr i will bring in, i will bring in only two: Andromeda and John.
Andromeda is the main character of my story Moon Tales, and she has cosmic-like hair and doesn't have any armor yet. She's pretty skinny, but still has a bit of an attitude i suppose. She just wants to go back home to her life as a barista. She hates cliches.
John is the secondary character of Moon Tales, and is the complete opposite of her. He's strong, buff, and overall very nice however gullible (and naive). he trusts others too quickly but maybe it's because he just wants to be friends with others. John has a natural talent for survival, and even though he only woke up on the island a few days ago he seems to be very knowledgable about the dinosaurs and obelisks.
they will be the versions of themself after they leave for their respective missions
okay well now that that's out of the way i want to talk about some of the stories i read on here because some are really good and i like them a lot i want to start with Ultimus i really liked it i finished the whole thing in one day and it was super nice in general even though it was a sad story it was really great i really like Andrew and i feel so bad for him especially after he lost Reuben especially since he will never see his parents or Rue ever again, and also i'm guessing those people at the end of Chapter 16 are other survivors? i can't wait to read the rest of it
i also finished Queen of Aberration and it was a little rough sometimes the lack of puncutation and paragraphs makes it a bit hard to read i think it'd suffice if theres some editing and tweaking before a chapter is released but other that it was nice it's a fun story but i still can't believe Sunhigh will just betray his own sister like that honestly he's a real villain maybe even worse than Milo or Pat or Doctor Bubba
i also read Heroes of Pandora and i gotta say that was also really fun it reminds me a lot of The Obelisk but different if you know what i mean but anyway i really like Nash the story teller and the gathering the creatures was really fun its just a lot of fun, the Overseer was also pretty funny and i'm guessing Salizar will be the main villain in the next book overall it was fun
Tortuga is something i also read and WOW that was really sad i mean i knew it was coming from the title but i honestly thought theyd be fine i hpoe Emma and Andrew are okay theyre mmy fav couple but i'm glad stupid Michael died to the strange figure guy at the end i wonder who that is hmmm i want to theorize maybe it's an entirely new character but it might be someone we already know, also Jay's power is very cool and so is Jack's i'd want theirs but whyyyy did so many people have to die i don't get. i'm guessing Tom will be a villain in a future book tho well i'll have to read the next book in the series
So Moon tales girl, Názgul, and myself will be writing in the “Zombie arc”? Question. When does an Arc end? Also the characters from the SoR won’t come from a chapter in my original series and are from an alternate timeline.
Break-it The Final Witness
Ps: Nàzgul! You finally made it here!
From Ben
Hello everyone, Chapter 98 of TAOH is out in Ovis. There are 2 chapters left. Well isn't that crazy? There are a few new writers who have joined this little community, which I’m grateful of, so if you don’t know where my story is, TAOH (The Arks: Over Heaven) is located in the Aerial filter backwards alphabetically and starts in Wyvern. Both the Prologue and Chapter 1 are in Wyvern.
From Ben
Hello. Break-it, Moon Tales Girl, and The Nazgul you might want to go to the end of this message. We have some plans on how we’ll introduce your characters into TOT (it’s a crossover so).
Ember, I have absolutely no idea what Ark Eternal is. If it is an ASE mod though, you can search up a tutorial on how to install it on YT. If it’s an ASA mod it should be fairly easy, just go to the Mods list ingame and install it there. It is important to note though that only the Steam version of ASE is mod-compatible. If you play the Windows Store version, or on Xbox or PlayStation or Nintendo or Mobile you will not be able to install mods.
Break-it I just wanted to point out before you go all crazy you don’t need to write the entire arc. I don’t know if that’s what you thought but just pointing that out now before you go ballistic and write like 100 chapters of content or smth. You’ll just start writing chapters and whatever once that specific arc starts. We do have a plan though for how we will introduce you, Moon Tales Girl, and The Nazgul’s characters within TOT. Anyway just go to the end of this message for more info.
The Nazgul, I can’t wait to see your story! It definitely seems like an ambitious project. Eight books sounds like a lot of work but if you think you’re up to it then definitely do it. It’ll probably be the next big thing on DDEX. Do you have a name for the story and what it’ll be about? However, as for posting the story in one single section I don’t really suggest that. Yeah it’d definitely be easier, but it’s better to spread your chapters out in multiple sections. Considering the length of your story and how there are so many chapters, you could do something like P. Metallica and have like 10 chapters per section. You could do something like Moon and go in a filter and go alphabetically (though you probably want to skip Achatina and Allosaurus since they’re pretty active). But yeah I definitely want to read it once it comes out.
Moon, Chapter 11 of Pandora was amazing! It was a very lengthy chapter which I love! I really like the chemistry between Bria and Rainstone so far. I have a feeling that Rainstone will be her mate or something, which is how she has children in Chapter 1 of Pandora. It makes sense too because Rainstone is also a lightning wyvern. Pandora saying Rainstone didn’t belong is interesting. Maybe she’s just jealous. Still, the end was very creepy and it’s definitely leaning in the horror aspect of the story. Still curious as to how Pandora will become the armageddon for Vardiland. Even though she’s a bit creepy right now, from what the Shadowmanes were talking about in The Obelisk, she becomes a source of true evil. Interesting. Anyway it was amazing and I can’t wait for the next!
Sunny, Chapter 22 of TLW was super nice! I still don’t like Cedric and I still think Rowan should just leave the group and drag Oliver along with her. I still don’t think CedricXRowan would work out though and if it does I’m gonna crash out. Also Apex just pointed out the implant shaped hole in her wrist being ‘too deep’ and this further leads me to believe she is the baby in the Prologue of TLW. This means she does have a medallion. Question is, how does she even hide it? Additionally she says they should cut the implants and medallions off so that they can’t get tracked yet she still keeps her medallion around. I’m guessing she’s trying to get some form of control over the others, especially Cedric, whose water power abilities are stated to be in the Top 10 strongest in all of TROTP. If I was Rowan I wouldn’t want Cedric to have that ability either, especially considering his immature state. What she is doing is the right thing and she shouldn’t stop. You go girl!
Okay so this is for the new CC members (Break-it, Moon Tales Girl, The Nazgul). Basically y’all are gonna say which characters you wanna bring into TOT and then they’ll be brought in. You can have like a max of five characters. It can be a mixture of heroes or villains, doesn’t really matter. Just say which ones you want to bring in here in Achatina section, and give a brief description of their appearance, personality, maybe some backstory.
Anyway, once the zombie apoc arc starts (we’ll tell you don’t worry), basically, when it’s your turns to write you’ll write about your characters waking up in the Omega Timeline. Sort of do it in a way that is like the first few chapters of TOT. If you don’t know, the Omega Timeline is just a big area composed of all the different ARKs, along with a giant city in the middle and also a made up ark called Pandora which is from Wyvernian’s series. Basically it’s a combo of everyone’s stories, so your characters will wake up in the area that best fits them. I suggest for Break-it, your characters wake up at Rockwell’s Innards (since Bruce is son of Rockwell), Moon Tales Girl, your characters wake up on The Island, and The Nazgul I’m not sure about you since i don’t know your characters yet but you get the point.
Anyway you three do whatever you want with your chapter just have it something like that. Maybe have them get ambushed by a zombified creature or smth.
We’ll tell you always when it’s your turn to write so don’t worry about that.
Oh yeah, one more thing plz format your chapters like this:
The Omega Timeline
Chapter #: CHAPTER NAME - by YOUR NAME
Plz put a chapter name becuz it sounds cooler
Anyway, seeya!
Thanks Primal Apex! Is there a specific spot you would like my character/s and their info once I get that all together?
Also, I read through chapter 15 of TOT yesterday day and I love it so far. Plan to read through more of it today. Keep up the great work guys!

Thank you SunnyFox and all the rest of you CC (is that what I should call it?) for allowing me to join. Sorry to say, I can’t join Fandom, but I did view what I could on the Fanfiction Fandom and it was awesome. Super cool and convenient to have all that information on there. When it comes to characters to include, is it preferred that I have 3 or is any number from 1-5 good? Just asking so I can pick which ones and how to get a rough idea about them.

Hiya people, Moon here, haven’t said much lol but I am here. Welcome Nazgûl! Glad to see you here, and btw I love you and Sunny’s story collab, though I haven’t caught up with it yet. Excited to see other stories from you!
Chapter 11 of Pandora is out, yea, glad you guys liked it! Though I’m gonna have to repost it. Minor, um… Name-swapping of Sasha and Lune (Who both you technically don’t know.) and I’m gonna have to fix that. *Sadness*
I’m tired lol
