From: Ben, & KM
Duke, Chapter 2 of FAF was great! It was nice getting to know the cultures of each Wyvern’s kingdom/place of origin. There wasn’t much else to say there, but just a quick note that Forest Wyverns are much smaller than the usual Wyvern. They’re around half the size. Not sure you know that, just keep that in mind. Since Jasper is not a full adult yet (I think) them being same size could just be because of age. Or you could say that Elm is a Forest Wyvern with a mutation that makes her much larger than the usual ones.
Another thing to note is that Forest Wyverns only spawn on Extinction, and during the Forest Titan boss fight (which takes place deep underground in the Fallen ARK). I know you already thought up some ideas for the Forest Wyvern culture, but you could also find a way to incorporate that into the idea.
Also cool you got a cover done, if you want to show it you could go to the Dododex Fanfiction Wiki Fandom if you’re able to, create a Fandom account and then upload the photo that way. We don’t have a page for your story yet but we could easily make it. Anyway seeya around!

Break-it, Apex is working on Chap 54 and 55 of TOT.
GitezGood, I wouldn’t say Sunny is “back”, just there. I wouldn’t anticipate any new chapters from her to come out for at least a month max, but she is planning stuff.
Relating, the more words feature was implemented to prevent spam like the letter E just get submitted to the platform constantly. So yes it is pretty useful. The Fleet of Fate by GitezGood can be found in Crystal Wyvern, and as for TOT, the next chapter will indeed be quite massive. Not sure when it’ll come out, but probably soon as he’s almost done.

Hey DinoLover360, don’t worry I’m not sick. I have just been kind of lazy. I should be more active now though. I just read Chap 2 Part 2 and it was crazy to see that the Alpha Tribe has Nerva as a member, I’m guessing that the Alpha Tribe takes some inspiration from the New Legion in the ARK lore. Jannie also has such a cool nickname: The Spino Beast. It was also crazy to see that Jannie’s tribe had a Titanosaur all along and that John was one of the alpha tribe members. I’m curious to see what happens in the next chapter. There will probably be some sort of battle to get Jannie free. Anyway, seeya next time!
To: Jerrald, Break-it
From: Ben
Jerrald, Chapter 9 of The Island was excellent! The raptor rematch was phenomenal and I loved the introduction of the new character. I wonder how he got a Deinonychus anyway? Has he transferred over from another ARK? Can't wait for Chapter 10, it seems he will ally with Marcel.
Break-it, Chapter 29 of SOR was great! It was nice seeing another journal entry from Bruce. I loved how the respawning mechanic is utilized in this story. So we now know not everyone can respawn, only a few, just like in the lore before One Who Waits could perfect it. So that means that Bruce was brought into the ARKs before The One Who Tries Again, making this fanfic an alternate timeline of the original game in a way. I cant wait to see some of these respawners in the next chapter.
Ben, look at this. *takes out the entire series.* *kicks the main character out* *series caves in.* and it takes me rewriting the whole thing to fit a new character.
I’m a newcomer. You are the author of The Arks: Over Heaven, the most popular Dododex series of the decade. What I know is that it must have been hard work for you to write such long chapters and keep everything consistent on a strict deadline. And not to mention… some chapters were a half hour read. Chapter 100 in full was a 3 hour read! These could’ve taken you hours each day and a lot of work. My point is: it’s not easy for me to write a consistent series, or for anyone else. People will struggle and I know it will make my series easier to write if I don’t have to worry about the characters. 12 chapters in and I already have to worry about you asking me to kill off my main character and change the series. I write for fun and because I like showing off my stories. So let’s be flexible with this. I’ll continue writing Chapter 13 and might get it out tomorrow or somewhere this week. If we get to Chapter 15 and you still don’t like my main character, I’ll switch up the characters or at least pull it in a different direction. I’ll work hard. None of us would ever be as good at writing as you. But we’re still good writers. Just don’t put pressure on this whole thing with my characters. I get you don’t like him and that’s fine. But I don’t want to feel like he’s a terrible character.
Have a good day.

Duke, yes it does. You’re going to like it a lot. In fact, I propose an idea. Everyone here should start a speedrun for 2025, a speedrun where they have to finish all story maps as fast as they can. 5 arrows to the sky and the speedrun begins. It’ll be single player so only one person at a time.
Don’t be afraid to do it and work on your stories.
Anyhoo, hope you like it! It’s ok if you don’t want to.
Also, an explanation on JTAC’s main character. Before I post chapter 13, you need to know this. Imagine you’re new to Ark and randomly join a pro PvP server and want to beat the game alone on that server. You set up a base and assume it’s easy. But then your negligence causes problems like your base and tames dying. This is the same thing with JTAC’s main character, Sodden, only on a much bigger scale. Not only is he trying to surpass dangerous tribes, he wants to do this and dominate all creatures by killing them. And he assumes destroying the heart is easy and is a small mission.
Sodden was 9 hours old in the first chapter. That means he just spawned in back then for the first time. Not only that, he accepted the mission a few days after that!! He, a new Ark dude, accepted the most dangerous task because he assumed he could handle it. But it’s clear he isn’t. He’s young, he’s not good at PvP (hence why he thought raptors are good for everything.) and he still thinks he can handle both easily. Even when he got warnings of his friends being in danger, or may be in danger, he doesn’t care all that much until they actually come, in which case it may already be too late. His negligence in Chapter 12 would lead to causing the god shotgun to fall in the wrong hands in Chapter 13 and almost lost his friends. Thus almost getting an entire tribe killed!! FOREVER!!!
Okay, it’s not all doom and gloom. Serenity was able to massively help Sodden by giving him the full scope on what’s going on. And trust me, Sodden is way better after that. He can balance what he wants and what he needs to do and not lose a friend. He just needs to do it properly.
Okay, please no more hating my character. I hate killing off main characters

Hi everyone! I just wanted to say that I’m having a great month. Writing these newest chapters has been surprisingly easy and fun, and Chapters 75 and beyond will come shortly.
Apex, I love yur feedback on my chapters, it makes me feel awesome inside! I can tell yur the kind of person who’s really pensive about these last Chapters
(especially 71 and 72), and I’m pretty sure yur gonna figure some stuff out before I’ve even written it!
My biggest fan, that story was really great, I loved reading it. (Nothing beats that Trike Poem you made, tho.)
Wyvernian, you’ve heard this before, but uh… I n e e d m o r e o f y u r s t o r y.
I can tell the climax is close, unless you decide to make a plot twist and I throw the phone acrossed the room. (And pick it back up to keep reading of course) either way, I can’t wait to read mooooooooooooore—
Aston… RIP I guess. Hope yur having fun wherever you are. Miss yur thoughts and stories.
That’s pretty much it! I’m totally gonna keep writing (Duh, why would I stop *shoo’s away random imposter*) and all of you have a great day!

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 crippling 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! Look for the next one in the allosaur section! - SpiritBird8960/
The Red Pike
Red’s story, chapter 4
Red wanted to remove the harpoons on her, but half of her didn’t want them to be removed, simply to keep them as “trophies.” Back at her time at herbivore island, the old tribe there hadn’t attacked her, and she didn’t attack the creatures with them. “Why didn’t they defend themselves against those people?” Red thought to herself. She had killed multiple of their creatures, mysteriously obeying and defending them, and Red had also destroyed multiple of their boats. Was that tribe too strong? Should I attack their creatures at night? Red didn’t know what to do, but she was going to destroy them for taking her home. Red saw a plesiosaur, and stabbed it in the neck and killed it. This plesiosaur didn’t seem to have a mate. Red thought about how and what she would do to those people, while she was consuming the plesiosaur.
“Maybe I will kill off their creatures one by one? Or fight them with all my strength until I die?” Red thought to herself.
“No. I must gather other sea creatures, and them attack them!” Red thought to herself. That would be a great idea, and then she set off to find other creatures.
Pastel, I’m ok!!!! I have been better, but I’ve been worse.
I’m very excited for Ragnarok and the Bison too!!!! I’m also excited for the Preorder package of Lost Colony as there might be some cool stuff!!! I’m kinda surprised we haven’t gotten a tease or anything of a Fantastic Beast. Was kinda hoping for something Aquatic like a Levitation or a mythological/cryptid aquatic animal.
