Stories Tips
What are some stories about the achatina? Memorable achatina stories, wild encounters, and fan fiction.
Sunny, Chapter 28 was great (it was 28 right.. idk…) I’ll probably have chapter whatever it is out later, can someone give me a list of the villains people want abstracted? I cant remember all of them and those tips are l o n g gone
I’m also planning on bringing in quite a few villains, you’ll see, I probably won’t do all of them unless you guys want me to

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT AFTER I ADDRESS A FEW MESSAGES
Break-it I’m glad you found my suggestion helpful. Yeah you’re totally right, it is crowded LOL. But we always have room for more. It’s like the Room of Requirement from Harry Potter. Potentially infinite space. I remember all the faces that come by. Or in this case, names.. Anyway, I’m glad you’ve come to join! I’ll definitely be reading your next few chapters when they come out. But it might take a while since tips in dye sections take longer to come out. If you want you can migrate Son of Rockwell to an unoccupied creature section (SoR only has a few chapters or so so it shouldn’t be too hard). Anyway also if you don’t know already you can view tips a lot faster with the website method. It’s in Silver Dye but since it’s been shredded, I’ll just leave it here:
Go to a browser (Safari, Chrome, Firefox anything works)
Search up (D0d0dex) Stories and click on the link.
Filter messages by Newest
Refresh
Ta da! You can now view messages in real time.
PS: This only works for story sections on creatures, and not dyes as dyes do not have a story section.
Hope this helps!
MrGhostGamer, today was pretty inactive. Because the two most active writers, Ben and SunnyFox57 have slowed down in chapter production, the amount of messages sent also slow down because no one can talk about the recent chapters they released. Activity on here widely depends on the fanfiction that is released, since… what else is there to talk about, right? Although I do have a solution to that. Anyway since I’m getting back into the game I think the activity will increase.
OKAY. So, here’s the important announcement I was talking about:
My 5th grade teacher, one of the people who kickstarted my writing life, has graciously donated to me the “Draft Models”. What the heck’s that you ask? Oh, basically, it’s simple, really, basically the first paragraph or two starts off a story with a prompt. A character is introduced, and then a problem, and then you just write the rest. You can do whatever you want with it, it’s basically just a story starter and the good thing about them is that.. They’re pretty funny. And they’re actually fun (unlike other story starters I’ve seen). As long as the ending makes sense, then it’s limitless.
So here’s what I propose: Draft Model Thursdays (name still being workshopped)
Every Thursday, I’ll release the Draft Model in a designated story section here on the platform. With careful consideration, I’ve chosen the Dreadnoughtus. Why? First of all, it’s ASA exclusive, which means no mobile players. This means less traffic since like, 80% of this platform’s stories take place on Mobile. Not only that, but the Extinction DLC for ASA has a long way to go. That means even less traffic until then. It’s a genius plan, really. Even if people come by complaining… well, I have Plan B, and I’ll always archive the stories, which means they can never be lost if they’re ever wiped from the platform.
So then. What’s the deal? Well on Thursday, 2:00 PM PST, I’ll release a “Draft Model” onto Dreadnoughtus. Then, by Friday to Saturday you will release what you have written after the Draft Model onto the Dreadnoughtus section. Once the stories release, we can all give feedback on each others’ draft models. It’ll be great for improvisation.
And there are only a few rules for the draft models too:
No “it was all just a dream” ending.
You don’t have to make it ARK related.
No 18+ content (if it wasn’t obvious enough already)
No “script” stories (a script story is a story in which it is a script rather than a narrative)
Don’t go too crazy with the draft model please this is technically meant for 5th graders so please don’t go writing a whole chronicle of like 10 chapters that are each a few thousand words long.
Provide feedback, not bitter insults.
Please be as unbiased as possible during the voting stage.
After reading the stories, we will all cast our votes on which draft model we liked the most. Note: which one we liked the most, it doesn’t have to be the best. Additionally, I will not be eligible for voting because some of these draft models I already know and it wouldn’t be fair for me to participate. (I may still be posting my old stories anyway).
Anyway, it’s all meant for fun. I dunno about you but maybe some of us are getting sick of writing and working on the same story. Something new is always refreshing. So, what do you all think? Yay or nay?
Chapter twenty eight of TOT is in progress. It should be out in a few days. Also hi Sketch1300!
Ben I enjoyed the newest chapter!!! The hunter cave!! It’s really sad that no one likes Skylar anymore..(Although she DID almost kill Rick). I can’t wait to see them defeat the creatures to get the artifact!!! I can’t wait for the next chapter!!
Anyways…I’ll cya around! ✌️

Sylveevee, Chapter 21 of QOA was really enjoyable! Draco and Carnilius do bring up a point. What if Fox is working with Milo and Pat? We don’t know her that well, nor her power.. But, guess not. Fox is going to tell the united groups that Milo and Pat are on their way to get the next bosses. How are they going to prepare for this? Maybe it’d be a good idea to start getting more dinosaurs.
Wyvernian, YES, Samuel’s basically a sociopath. Well at least he doesn’t find joy in making others suffer like a masochist… which is why Samuel is actually, I’d say the most evil person in TAOH (maybe someone can prove me wrong, there’s probably someone more ‘evil’).
Anyway that’s all, laters.
Ben, TOT chapter 27 was awesome!!! SAMUEL!!! My dude is saying killing a half dozen lives is worth doing against those he thinks are threats yet never shown any signs to be threats!!! He’s beginning to lean on the edge of no return. I’m definitely wondering what Star’s reaction will be when this happens? I definitely think Andrew wouldn’t have known how to respond or give advice beyond that since he’s never felt romantic love before. So I think his response was pretty good!!! Interesting that the Element seemed to call Aurora to it. Very interesting? I’m definitely interested to see what will happen when Andrew finds out about Samuel stowing away!! And what will happen with Neddy, Ruby, Sylas and Erica!! I really enjoyed it!!! I can’t wait for the next chapter!!! Also a question about the jet, what type is it supposed to be? Is it more fictional like a quinjet, is it a futuristic commercial like a learjet or smaller, or just a futuristic military jet like an F22? Just curious for story purposes!!
C of The Brotherhood of the Old Birds Sovereign Spino, Is your mental health okay? It doesn’t sound like it.
From Ben
Progress on TOT Chapter 27 is going nicely. So at the moment not all the villains are going to be abstracted in this chapter, a decent amount would be. Im thinking the next chapter it shifts to this POV, all villains that were selected could be abstracted already for a reason.
PrimalApex Chapter 12 of Ultimus was great! The references were really funny and honestly the image of the corrupted raptors aimlessly chasing a regular one sounds pretty scary. Imagine seeing your supposed brethren trying its best to kill you and its like twice as strong and stamina resilient as you. Hmm, wonder what the creature at the end was.
Wyvernian Chapter 56 was awesome! And funny, Salizar is back in the flesh! His devious master plan might actually come to fruition. And the monologues, all villains should have one! But now everything depends on Caesar and Nash’s group. Hopefully they have everything handled, I cant wait to see what happens next!
Guess thats all, seeya around
Wyvernian, I read chapter 56 of PoP!!! It was really good!!! Salizar is so arrogant and crazy. Yet quite the genius, what a very interesting invention he created. Anyways though, his plan was interesting and good, yet his defeat will be even greater!!! The only problem with his plan is what a shock he’ll get when after he kills all the humans, more will just randomly appear and continue appearing, unless he figured out the Engrammic Matrix? 12 hours I think was more time than they had last time, so it shouldn’t be too difficult from there. But it begs the question if he has anyone after Hades’ group and if so who? Cinder? I really enjoyed it!!!! I can’t wait for the next chapter!!!!

I genuinely have no idea what going on, I read some stuff from silver dye after forgetting what this was for a year and the OGs are like fighting everyone or smt, I was around in 2022 and 2021 but never recognized as my stories were not very good. But if someone could fill me in that would be awesome. Who knows, maybe I’ll keep writing
Signing off for now
