Stories Tips
What are some stories about the achatina? Memorable achatina stories, wild encounters, and fan fiction.
Alright guys, I think I have officially decided to ACTUALLY write my story on here which I have wanted to write for honestly a couple years now. Why have you not done it yet you ask? Well frankly, it’s because it is a big project and I usually spend my free time playing Fortnite or Mario Kart Wii. Just so you have an idea of how big this project is, I have a rough idea in my mind for the whole thing, which would consist of 8, possibly 1 or 2 more depending on where it goes, books that would consist of likely 50 chapters. I tend to write chapters that can be 300-500 words, leaning beyond that for a more detailed chapter. That means that if I averaged 400 words per chapter which is probably a low estimate, then all in all it is a 160,000 word story. I am excited about writing it though, and have laid some basic groundwork in a note on my iPad and plan to do some writing most days if I can so I can release on a decent schedule. I need to find a fairly empty section to do either each book in or one section for all of it since I like to keep my work consolidated in one section. If you guys would like to see it, let me know. Every bit of encouragement of any kind makes it all the more worth it to commit to this. And if you think it’s a horrible idea then don’t be afraid to voice your opinion.

Sylveevee, Ben is just trying to look out for you like a friend. You don’t have to get mad at him for trying to speak of the dangers of doing those things. We aren’t trying to treat you like what you described, we’re just wondering why you’re mad at him for that. Yea, he could’ve been more polite but getting angry over it isn’t something to do either. But I’m sorry if I caused you to feel like that in anyway, I really hope you can forgive me.

It seems like you guys are doing a crossover thing or something, maybe I am wrong, but I would love to participate if allowed. I have a story that is not out and I have to write, so I probably can’t hop on the next one but if it continues I would love to join. Let me know the details and any info I may need on where the story is, parameters on the storyline, what my characters would have to fall into limitations-wise etc. I would be stoked to join in at some point if possible.

Ben, all are tames, except the Cave and Amber. Sadly Rodan died 2 months ago. Actually , all of them died except Febreeze, Coal, Scarlet and maybe Glory survived but I haven’t found her (Alive or dead). Ember went too. But, on the bright side I have new ones and I’m gonna get revenge! I got another heir egg and hes named Ash because you know, after embers burn, they leave ashes. Also I had no idea you know Godzilla and all them.

Sunnyfox, the newest chapter of TLW was great!!! I agree with everyone else that William is in no shape for this type of journey. And this dream definitely confirms her identity!!!! I wonder what will happen next!!! I loved it!!! I can’t wait for the next chapter!!!
Ben, chapter 97b was fantastic!!!!! RIP Juliet and Landon, also RIP Romeo!!!😭 the fights were awesome!!!!!! And Jerry was insane!!!! I’m glad that Nova forgave Samuel, I think that was hurting him there too!! There is so much more and I’m definitely going to have to reread this one!!!! I love it all!!!!!

Wyvernian, I read Chapter 9 of ToP! I already left most of my thoughts on Fandom but now I can see that Dr. Primalis is definitely not surviving. Oh well, Dr. Haze died super early anyway. And I feel bad for Wretch he seems to be doing the most work out of all of them, he even had to collect his own scrap metal for his metal limbs. And he has the worst name out of all of them. Uhh, yeah that’s about it, seeya.

GitezGood, I read Chapter 9 Part 1 of TFoF and the name drop of the story was honestly pretty funny. Also I got the reference of Rodan for the phoenix, from Godzilla. Another one of your tames or made up? Also, him joining the Fleet of Fate because he lost his parents is a good start for character motivations, however, it doesn’t make too much sense yet. I don’t know if you have anything else planned for his backstory, but maybe he has lost his parents to the other Crystal Wyverns, which is why he wants to side with the Tropicals and not the Bloods or Embers. I dunno, maybe you already had that planned. And since Rodan is talking about his late parents I think he could have been a bit more sad saying it. Just try to put yourselves in your character’s shoes (talons I suppose in this case). How would you feel about losing your parents, and then place it in that character (unless the character acts otherwise evil or smth and don’t care about their parents). Alright that’s it hopefully that wasnt too much to digest.

Hey OMEGA09, nice seeing you again! I saw your story The Falling Tides in Cosmo and in Yuty. Anyway I just wanted to drop by to give you tips as you asked at the end of your chapter.
Okay so so far there isn’t much to say since it’s just the first chapter but I still have a little bit to give. You can try making your chapters a bit longer, maybe like double the length of Chapter 1 would be a good start. Also you don’t need to put parts for shorter chapters, it’s only if it’s super long. So that’s it for formatting, but since the story has just started I’m not too sure where you’re at for story elements. For now just focus on giving the main character Dylan some background like what he used to be before the ARKs (which you already did he was a gamer) and some other things like his morals (who is he willing to harm for his own survival?) and also his personality traits. Is he nice, or maybe mean? You can work on that for Dylan, and also for any other characters you plan on introducing in The Falling Tides. Well that’s about it, I’ll be waiting for the next chapter!

Hello everyone, Chapter 97b of TAOH is out in Pachy. There are three chapters left. I cannot believe we have made it this far. 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.
Also Moon Tales Girl, you entering TOT is currently being considered by the Crossover Council. We’ll need to make sure that you meet all the guidelines and stuff. Also it’d probably be vital for you to read the books that the characters come from so that if you do join or eventually join then you’ll be all caught up. Thx.

Okay, so I miss one author’s story that I should have probably mentioned by name, plus a collaboration that should also get attention.
Ranger: Writer of Tribe of the Shadows (Deinonychus exclusive) and War in the Mountains (Fasolosuchus exclusive). He has been deserving for this recognition and should have readers to enjoy these stories!!
Fire and Fangs: A collaboration between Sunnyfox and Nuzgul. An awesome story!! I highly recommend it!!
