Ben, Thx for explaining that achitina is the chat hub not where we actually post our stories, I was about to say that.
Angel, our stories are usually not in just one creature like mine and moons are in alphabetical order (mine is all creatures but hers is just tamables) and someone has theirs going through fliers I think, and so on, you can always ask someone where their story starts if you want to read them.
Sunny, glad you like Ron also you don’t have to write HoP/PoP because that will get long when I write more “books” just call it the Pandora chronicles 😁
Also chapter 24 was posted yesterday and I’m writing chapter 25 rn

One more thing everyone, please refrain from liking our conversations. Try to keep them at 0. Why? Well, on the website Dex has a feature called Featured Stories, which showcase the "Popular this Week" stories. Basically stories with the most likes of the week. And as of now all of them are just posts from us. I am afraid that if we keep liking them, there will be no more featured stories. Maybe someone who wants to read a story will miss out. So yeah, thanks in advance.
You dont need to dislike them, just keep them at 0
Regards, Ben
From Ben,
Welcome Angel, Achatina is more of a hub for writers than where the actual stories are. Youll rarely see stories show up here. If you have any particular stories you want to read, we will be glad to tell you where to find them. If you dont know any stories, Ill send a list of stories that are being actively worked on.
Sunny, if you are on computer click the refresh button, if they still dont show up try pressing Ctrl + Shift + R to force refresh. Might take a few clicks. If youre on a mobile device, however, in order to refresh there should be a refresh button (on Chrome you need to scroll up until you see a refresh button).

Thanks for the tip Sunny, I think I’m going to put the Valentine’s Special in Fjordhawk then. Then, Chapter 24 shall be placed in Featherlight.
My favorite character in these stories… for Hope’s Cry I’d have to go with the Kongs, especially Mara Kong she’s a nice fellow who sounds like fun to hang out with (i think ive said this at least a few thousand times by now). In HoP/PoP I’d say Ping since even though he’s not as smart as the others he’s still brave and will fight for the protection of the Arks. In Overseer, I’d go with Ares the Carchar because he just seems really cool considering he’s also the leader of the Carno Investigation Agency, i think that was the name (although I would have expected a Yutyrannus because, yk, Yutys can call Carnos for backup). In The Obelisk I’d go for Crimson too since she’s a really deep character and honestly’s got a lot going on. More of a misunderstood character than an “evil” or “rude” one.
And in Tortuga? that’s even tougher for me since there’s a lot of characters I like. Andrew’s a gentleman, but he doesn’t have much background except the fact his father is a doctor. Mr. Swan is a really fun guy, considering he used to be a pirate but decided not to, BUT I feel like he had very little screen time so I can’t say him for sure. The twins were also really fun in the beginning of the story with their interactions, but Emma quickly overshadowed them so I can’t pick them either. It used to be Aaron for me, but he was quickly dwindled out to more of a minor character so I wouldn’t say him. So, I’m left with a few options: Aragorn, Arianna, and Tom. Arianna is actually a really good mother, she takes good care of her children which is very very good of her, and Aragorn is a pretty great father too. But I don’t like Aragorn as much anymore after reading Shadow Phoenix… but Tom is actually a really likable character! In Tortuga he was represented as a “villain with a tragic backstory”, and he was made even less of a villain because he only showed up twice (in a dream, and in the epilogue where he didn’t really do anything evil). He’s less of a villain, actually, and more of an antagonist. So all in all, Tom’s my favorite character. Could I have just said that from the get go? Yeah, but this is more fun. Out of all of these stories Tortuga has THE MOST characters that are fun to root for.
I guess I should read Chapter 10 and 11 of Shadow Phoenix. Let’s see… Okay, so I’m a bit of a goof because I didn’t realize Leah would turn out to be Tom’s lover. She’s blonde, first of all, which is the dead giveaway, and these previous two chapters were like the nail of the coffin. I hope nothing bad happens to Leah, like her, untimely passing (please 🙏🙏 No More Deaths). Welp I just jinxed it.
I also really feel bad for Cole. He likes Arianna, but Arianna probably doesn’t even like him back. Not that that sucks, but they say when you like someone you lose all sense of rationality. Cole probably doesn’t have courage to make moves or do anything, because he is afraid things will go wrong with her if they do. That’s how it usually works. Not like i”m speaking from experience, I’ve never liked anyone that way.
And the switcheroo… What a dirty trick, Sunny!
And also I think I discovered Aragorn’s power. He can probably use his shadow to do things, huh? Is that why Michael realized Aragorn had no shadow? Hmm, but then at the time where could his shadow have been? And would his shadow persist even after he was hanged?
Also I appreciate the cross references to The Arks Over Heaven everyone, it’s really fun seeing them pop up every once in a while 🙂. Poor Aurora indeed (i love to traumatize her).
Also what could it mean by Tom will be king soon? Hmm, at least I got the hint that Tom is his older brother. Usually the oldest son gets the crown. And Thomas is his full name, that’s right.
GUESS that’s all I have in store for today. And for Tom’s medallion power? I think it should be something pertaining to his ghostly skin in Tortuga. Like Tom’s medallion power made him that ghostly white because he abused it. Idk, that’s all I could think of. Or something relating to the mythologies he reads (about Sirens and all that). Welp seeya!
Answers to Ben about the “Questions to consider”
Okay, for me I’d say these are my least favorite characters(excluding my own right?):
D.T guy in ark over heaven, bc he seems very mean and…poor Bob, the terror birds in The Obelisk, Ember Black in Hope’s Cry, and as for HoP and PoP I’m not really sure bc most the characters are all very nice for the most part, and I don’t really like Fuzzball’s siblings bc they made fun of him and thought he was nothing. 🥺
If I had to transport to any story in one of these fanfic stories I’d probably go into the ark over heaven bc most people there are good guys in the book club and are sticking together to survive and I wouldn’t be alone.
I’d probably describe the ending of TTOTSP as…rageful. Thats all I can say. 😏
Finally, my days have been well. I love my family, hate school, and I’m trying to follow my lord and savior Jesus no matter what. I hope y’all are doing well, I keep you all in my prayers.✌️

Ben, wow! 3,600 words! Oh my gosh, that’s shocking to me. I can’t wait to read it. I would suggest you post it here in achatina but it might get buried so….you could post it where you’re next chapter is. Maybe? Idk, hope this helps you! Also I’m wondering what you meant by saying that ur valentine special will be more satisfying if they read TTDOT. Hmm…looks like I’ll need to call Detective SunnyFox to investigate. Cya!

yk what, before I head out for the night, i have a few questions to ask, Questions to Consider!
Who's your least favorite characters in the Dex stories youve read so far? For me its gotta be: Michael in Tortuga, Ravagers in The Obelisk, and for Hopes Cry and HoP/PoP i cant say for sure since all of them are pretty fun. And for Overseer Id go for Fuzzball's family since they didnt believe in him.
If you were forced to transport to one fanfiction here on the Dex, which would it be? Id personally choose Tortuga since thats AFTER the arks and seems safer compared to the other stories.
If there was one word to describe the ending of your book, what would it be (if you know what your ending will be like)? For me, I have to say... melancholic.
Finally, the most important question, how has your days been going so far?
