And i cant think any words for my turn in TOT so whoever’s next can take my turn!
So for now im going to probably just going to be enjoying my summer while staying here or at least trying
And yes I cant access fandom again so until sometime in August unless something is removed on my phone i wont be on fandom…

I rise again, The Hen is back in Achatina.
5 years of Dododex Fanfiction. WOW. That’s awesome. So many people came and left during this time, this community has gone through so much. But nothing could stop it, not even Silver Dye incident, and it evolved into something great.
All the stories made symbolize the community and the people who kept it going.
Moon, our founder, we would be lost without you.
Happy 5 year anniversary to this community!!

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.
To Moon: I know you said you would be gone for a week, but p l e a s e I beg of you release the new chapterrrrr *on knees*
Ack I should be more patient but the cliffhangers are killing meeeeeee!!!!
😫😵
I’m sorry...
Moonbeam looks like she might explain the rune thingy...
I’m hoping she does.
Anyway enjoy your vacation!!! (Or whatever you’re doing)

sorry....
Last part of Chronicles of the iron tyrants for now - I’ve made way too many spelling mistakes in upcoming chapters sorry for anyone who’s excited for new chaps (I’m just being optimistic)
Logan - the man of the crown gathered with 4 other soldiers , the first , a chinese man of 5’3 with a crew cut of jet black hair , he shrugged and rolled his tek shoulder lazily , the next across to him was a 5’7 cypriot with light brown mop of shaggy hair , he wore an apron over his armour , third across was a slightly dark spanish girl , she was 5’6 ish and wore light tactical armour flipping a knife in her hand , the final gu the 7’5 behemoth was an aryan german ‘ the five bickered as they discussed what to do with the creature who now lay upon the sands at roughly 90ft
The spanish - Jewel - spoke firmly - ‘kill,it,now’ angrily , she punctuated every word with rage
‘Calm down princess’ the short one returned jokingly before getting slapped behind the neck by the giant jacob
‘Shut up’ the king - Logan announced bluntly ‘ I give you armies and you squabble at one creature , just cater it and wait for Aeron to show up , he’s late as usual.
Suddenly the soldiers , who had been resting for a total of a mighty 3 minutes , before a figure emerged effortlessly from the gateway - the face plate lighting in a 32 bit :) the soldiers stood to attention as the figure kept walking one of the newer recruits suddenly burst formation attempting to stab him through the back
‘ die invader ! ‘ the lad yelled and leapt courageously bless him but was not expecting the armoured figure to turn on his tail and materialise a tek greatsword into his hand , blocking the steel blade and riposting into a slash that cut of his leg ,
‘ bold effort - ‘ the voice was tired and cracked ‘ but i didn’t kill nations to be beaten by a rookie’ he kicked over the kid and kept walking towards Logan's convoy , clicking his fingers and whistling softly as the beast stood up and followed behind him - growling and snarling at the troops that backed up slowly from the dismembered man moaning on the floor,
Jewel turned suddenly before steven ran past her to hug the figure for him to awkwardly hug him back with a pat on the back before barding past
‘ ow mate ‘
‘ no hard feelings ‘
Logan stared as his helmet flicked down - his friends face - once round and cheerful , slim and stern with coldness - his blue eyes once hyper mobile and intelligent were dull and red , showing clear signs of insomnia and his hair , his short blonde hair that was golden in the sun of the island - it was a dark shade of grungy blonde - green , the darkened colours contrasting his pale skin.
I thank the 20 or so people who read chapter 1/2 that’s 20 more than I expected :D , Kind Regards Dr Wylder
Chapter 3 : The Ascent - King’s visage
The man Stared intensely at the portal , it was constructed from interlocking arches of writhing tek , shaped and molded like vines and cacti , between the two largest rings was a vertical sheet of orange energy - quickly turning a deep violet - sparks flew off the energy as it twisted like a cyclone - an eerie sound of silence filled the air , the shifting sands flowing almost scared of the portal - a roar sounded from the other side and the figure rose his hand - about 30 longneck rifles trained on the glowing gateway , a nasal horn edged through - and bullets were sent loose - the nose retreated but returned with a earkilling screech that would scare a saddled mammoth -
‘Oh cr–’ the figure’s authoritative pose was interrupted as he drew a revolving fabricated pistol ,
Gun shot rand rang out as a large armoured head broke the portal - troops with spears forming a barricade the head - the man gawked all hope of control shattered - the head of the creature emerging from the the energy was easily 12 ft long - about 3ft longer than a rexes - it was decorated with a crown of spikes with a glossy membrane connecting the tip to its head
‘Sir what is that’ two of his elite soldiers ran past a 5’3 soldier with a prosthetic arm and a behemoth 7’5 man with a ballistic TEK shield ‘ King - if you do not kill that thing i will you’ the short one roared as he chucked a javelin at the beast and ducked behind the shield the figure didn't understand why they hid though the beast was only half out the portal -
The man who you may of guessed to be the fabled king our hero served - kept shooting and cussing as nothing drew blood from the beast in the portal , he couldn’t risk sending troops to the portal or he’d have to wait 5 minutes or so for them to arrive at the aberration - as he contemplated risking a legion’s life he noticed a banner poking through the portal - it was familiar but not , whilst his empire flew a black flag marked with a silver yutyrannus skull - the ferrous tyrannus - this flew a dark purple background torn to ribbons with the faded form of the black skull of the emerging creature -
‘ Hold fire ‘ the king roared as his troops froze - backing up slowly ,
‘T-t-that is your baron’ he was nervous as the creature’s large left leg broke threw the portal ‘get to position to greet a noble’ his soldiers scrambled to position still scared sh*** from the unnamed creature ripping his tail from the portal - like his head it was decorated with spikes and membrane the length of his back and thighs —
My roommate LOVES these but.. she had one to many, turned them on wander, AND forgot to fix all of them. So we had one that we named Speedy and they went around breeding with EVERYONE else...
The moral of the story is; FIX. YOUR. SNAILS. we dreamt of sweet cakes for the next week 🥲
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

82 is ouuuuuuuuuut I hope yu guys like iiiiit
Also, awesome chapter Ben, would like to suggest you start it in Aquatics or Aerial or any other Alphabetical group. I would very much appreciate it, but anywhere is fine I guess.
And look out for 83 very soon!
(P.S, PastelGothPower, I’m so happy you remembered Blizzard! I am not quite sure I will write about her, but if anyone wants to make a story for her, they can!)

Ah. Yeah, I get that. Everyone has lives and things more important than a silly little dex. Thank you for telling me and I hope to be more active myself. And, hey, if need any ideas, you can just ask me if you want to. And yes Bob, I have been and will be back for a bit!

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.
