The following news report may or may not be continued after this publication.

In a 1920s based new style broadcast:

Good evening ladies and gentlemen of Achatina, this is your weekly update news of the Ark community.

Starting off with last night, Wildcard released several trailers and teasers for upcoming releases and a special video.

Vampires, Eternal Nights, and Transylvania. No this is not a new game for Dracula hunting. This is Ark: Lost Colony. The location you seek the elusive Lore piece known as Arat Prime, the last hope and sanctuary for humanity. But what happened to this anti-evolution nation to cause humanity to become more Man-Bats than Man? Tune in later for more in depth information and analysis.

BREAKING NEWS!!! Helena Walker still Human? Although sources are not yet sure of this. Many believe they have sighted a Helena Walker at the teaser of Lost Colony. But what could this be? Original, Clone, or Over Excited Fan. Tune in later for more.

Lastly the mixed reviewed strange version of the Ark Lore part has been teased in this night with Russell Crowe’s character have a full monologue throughout it. Will this second half of the first season be a better for telling of the Lore or will it mess up once again and be it’s own story? Tune in June for an Update on this story.

To: SangToareGirl, DiploLover, and RelatingHen

From: Ben, & KM, creators of The Arks: Over Heaven

We have read all three of your stories (Valguero’s Guardian, Creatures of Nightmares, and Journey Through All Creatures respectively). Let us give our thoughts.

SangToareGirl, your story was pretty cool. There wasn’t much to say about it, the plot flowed well and all the like. It was simple, but then again, nothing needs to be complicated. My only gripe was the human x creature shapeshifter theme, which I found very weird. Even if the creature is sentient as a human, it’s still weird. Though I don’t think your other story will be like that.

DiploLover, Creatures of Nightmares was also really nice. I like the concept a lot, it reminds me of Moon’s The Obelisk, a long while back. I feel as if there should be an explanation/lore as to how these wolves got powers (more specifically Pax, whose time powers I assume won’t correlate with the Wings of Fire-esque thing), though I think you’ll do that when appropriate. Also an explanation as to how Astra turned into a wolf would be good too, though I think you got that as well. It seems that Astra and Pax will be the main ship, since their names are similar and Pax is even described as more handsome than Prince (sorry bro). Anyway it’s cool, my only gripe was the prophecy felt too obvious but prophecies are already difficult to write. I hope that we will see other characters besides the five prophecy wolves and Shadow, especially of other species, as it would help establish the world building and what not.

RelatingHen, your story was also fun to read. It’s a fun concept, and I think a few other writers with no names did something similar, though you’re the first to get past the first chapter. C Tribe dynamics are cool, though I wish that we could get more information on other tribes around the Island, as the world building for that still seems barren. The idea of the Ravage also sounds cool, and I have a wild guess at what Rod supposedly did to Serenity. So besides world building, in terms of feedback the only thing I’d say is to clarify who “this person” is. For example, when Terad lands in the bush, it’s described that “a person came out of the bushes”, but it’s never elaborated who it is until a few sentences later when Terad is randomly described to be crashing out, which makes the readers think, “oh so that person who got out of the bushes was Terad, I think it would be helpful to have learned that earlier.” Same thing for the person riding the Titanosaur, we were wondering who it was for like a paragraph until Rod was just thrown out there. So yeah that’s the only thing we’d say to fix is. An example to fix this is: “Someone emerged from the bushes. It was Terad.” So just say immediately afterwards who it was. Yeah that’s about it, I’ll be reading Chap 10 when it comes out. I’m guessing Terad died permanently, since he’s in C Tribe (though I’m wondering why he had only like 20 levels if he can only die once and be unable to respawn). He was annoying anyway. Also, KM says that to add more female characters, one way or another. KM finds them more interesting than dudes. That’s all, later.

If you like compys mysteries, go to the beta Nunatak trophy, you will find a place where I will share hints on the next chapter!- chicken nugget council

YAY!!! Hello again moon!! So glad to see you here too!

How are you?? Is there anything interesting going on??

Btw, I could use some tips with writing, cause I’m not very good at it XD.. Like, what kind of words could I use besides saying and replies? Or how could I spruce up my next chapters for THE ADVENTURES OF TROOP THE TROODON?

Anyway, just a few questions I thought I could ask! I felt like people were getting tired of my stories specifically repeating the words saying and replies every time a character talked XD and I don’t have the internet to help me out. (ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.)

Person who made Reawakened, loved the chapter!

Happy tenth anniversary of ARK, the reason we’re all here! And to 5 years of fanfiction on the Dex!

Wow, ty Hen. I appreciate every single one of you and am glad there are so many of us thriving and writing amazing stories here and talking with one another. Some of you are awesome friends, and I miss the ones who’ve come and gone, too!

—Moon

Can Valguero and Steam sale come so I can get Ascended mean the Gigantoraptor is awesome looking so is the Yi Ling, Cosmo, Armadoggo, and Megaraptor but how many Raptors need to be in game? Also Draklings are my new favorite because I've seen videos and pics and it looks awesome not to mention cute. Did you know that Gigantoraptor is one of the biggest or the biggest member of the Ovalraptor family.

Your Rockdrake Lover

I am very sorry that I haven’t been writing. There’s been some IRL things going on for me, and I literally forgot about my story. Expect chapter two in a couple of centuries. Actually, I plan to write it this week. -TarrWasTaken

Okay you know what…. I have time, I’m gonna finish KOTW… or at least try. I still have up to Chapter 14 written already, just needs some editing and it’ll be good to go! And of course, I have the whole plot memorized, so that’s no issue.

I guess I just like to finish things I start.

Anyway, be expecting KOTW Chapter 8 in Astrocetus very soon!

-Aston

Oh, well hello there. Glad I stumbled upon this tips section- never knew that there was a fanfictioner still active! Keep up the good work.

- President Loki

PrimalApex, darn it…

<:NEXUS:>

whoever made ‘the island’ series, Thank you for chapter IX!! I don’t mind the wait, the story is just so good! I don’t get on Dododex a lot but I love finding new chapters every time I log on, even though it’s not often.

(Still looking for the 1st chapter of the Obilisk series)

Hello everyone, I know this is like a very small thing for me to be happy about as I’m not really a part of the community anymore, as my life got a lot busier a couple years ago, but it’s made me very happy to see that my time here is being remembered on the fanfic wiki. I’ve done a little edit just to add my time of joining. Thank you guys so much for remembering me. I hope this community continues to thrive in the future!

*starts growling at Achatina Section

*growls some more and mutters

Hello,

HEELLLLLLLOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

*beats a gong against Achatina Section

HI,

So, you might be wondering what I’m doing. Well, I exiled myself from the fandom for a while. Due to over theorizing and for other reasons. So you should see me a bit more around here. It’s been way too quiet here anyway. There needs to be more activity on the Dex too!!!

Anyway, still here and want to get it more active while I’m here in self-exile from the fandom.

Until Next Time!!!!

-PrimalApex:)

First I was happy, like, yay, someone’s writing about the dark forest? Are they making my world in their story? To expand the universe of Ark?

AND THEN

IT TURNS OUT THEY’RE NOT

THEY ARE COPYING MY BOOOOOOK

ACK STOP GO AWAY FOREVER I WISH YOU INFINITE DOWNS.

for those who do not know, SOMEONE is copying my story. I’m watching you, writer of the Unforgettable Ride. Im watching you. Down this if you want. Im still watching you.

Oh and don’t worry all my awesome readers! My biggest fan, that other person, (sorry forgot yur name) and Sniper, and that one, yur all great.

but THIS ONE, *points to this random human who’s been asking if the next chapter is out or not* THIS ONE, WHO HAS YET TO BE NAMED, I WOULD LIKE THEM TO KNOW THAT I WANT THEM TO GO AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY. LEAVE FOREVER YOU FROG FACED BLOB OF CAMEL SPIT AND STOP COPYING MY STORY AND RUINING IT WITH MICRORAPTORS AND QUETZALS! AND COMPLETEY DESTROYING THE WORLD OF IMAGINATION! JERK.

-Moon 🥺

Guys just btw u don't have to say a tip should include more words if u need more words. Just spam space until u can submit tip. Idk where else I can put this tip so I just put it here. Hope this helps

Ben,

I'm still here; I just haven't been reading much (don't know what's around these days), and haven't been chatting either (have a time limit on this app, and the Achatina story section is too active for me to keep up)...

Pleased someone remembered my existence, though!

The Red Pike

The final chapter

By Red Dragon

Nerva washed up on shore. He was almost dead. A compy walked up next to him collapsed on the ground, and just stared. It was curious about Nerva. It called out, and it’s pack mates came. He could tell they were about to attack, when a trike scared them all away. He had lost his army, his Argentavis, and almost his life. He had no weapons, very damaged armor, and many wounds. He staggered to his feet, and regained the strength to walk again. He looked back at the trike. He could tame it, as it would protect him and he was in no position to fight. He carved a bow, bits of cloth for a scarf and to cover his armor from the hot sun so he wouldn’t die of hyperthermia, and made some tranqs. He tamed the trike, and named him “Spike”. He hunted a couple raptors with horn, and made a saddle. It was crude, but it worked. He rode into the jungle and thought to himself. Maybe this was good. Maybe it was a sign from the gods. He would wander with Spike through the forest. No. He would reclaim his throne.
