Some fanfics also revolve around character relationships. There could be a story about two rival tribes whose leaders gradually develop respect for each other. Through various encounters, like competing for resources or helping each other during a natural disaster in the Ark world, they start to see the good in the other side and consider a truce or even an alliance.
There are many. For example, some fanfics focus on taming rare and powerful dinosaurs. In one story, a character manages to tame a Giganotosaurus through a series of dangerous and exciting adventures. They have to study its behavior, find the right bait, and avoid being killed in the process.
There are fanfics that focus on the backstories of the in - game dinosaurs. For example, a fanfic might explore how a particular species of dinosaur came to be so aggressive. It could be due to some ancient curse or a side - effect of the Ark's strange energy. Some fanfics also revolve around character relationships. A group of survivors from different tribes might form an alliance through various trials and tribulations, and their story of cooperation and friendship can be really engaging.
Some popular themes include taming and breeding rare creatures. In Ark Survival, the process of taming different dinosaurs and other prehistoric beasts is really exciting. Another theme could be base building, where players describe in fanfics how they create elaborate and secure bases to survive the harsh environment of the game. There are also adventure - based themes, like exploring uncharted areas of the game world and the challenges faced during such expeditions.
There was a story where a group of friends played Ark Survival Evolved together. One of them had a base that they were really proud of. However, during a raid by another tribe, their base was completely destroyed. They lost all their resources, their tamed creatures, and the memories associated with that base. It was really sad as they had to start all over again from scratch. It not only affected their in - game progress but also their friendship as they started to blame each other for not being better prepared for the raid.
In Ark Survival, I had a really funny experience with building. I was building a huge base near a river. I thought I had it all planned out perfectly. But when the first rain came, the river flooded and half of my base was underwater. I had to quickly move all my stuff to higher ground while my dinos were running around all confused. It was a total mess but also very funny in hindsight.
A great concept for this fanfiction could be that the characters from Naruto are teleported to the Ark Survival Evolved universe due to some sort of space - time ninjutsu gone wrong. Naruto, being the protagonist, decides to teach the other survivors his ninja way of life. He shows them how to use chakra to enhance their physical abilities, which gives them an advantage in tasks like building structures and taming dinosaurs. This creates a whole new dynamic in the Ark world as the Naruto characters' abilities blend with the survival elements of the game.
One idea could be that the RWBY characters are dropped into the Ark world and have to learn to tame the dinosaurs to fight Grimm that somehow also exist there. For example, Ruby could use her speed to outmaneuver the dinosaurs while taming them.
One common sad story is losing a tamed high - level dino to a stronger wild one. For example, a player might spend days taming a powerful spino, only to have it killed by an alpha rex that randomly shows up near their base.
Once, my friend was trying to tame a triceratops. He prepared all the right food but accidentally threw the food at himself instead of the dinosaur. The triceratops just stared at him like he was crazy. It was hilarious.
One funny story is when my friend was trying to tame a dodo. He chased it around for ages with berries in his hand. The dodo kept running in circles and finally ran straight into a tree and got stunned. It was so silly looking that we couldn't stop laughing.
A cool concept could be that the Ark world is actually a secret part of the wizarding world that was hidden long ago. Harry and his friends accidentally stumble upon a portal leading to it. In this fanfiction, they would have to learn how to survive in this harsh new environment while also trying to find a way back home. They could use spells to adapt the Ark tools and weapons for their own magical use, like enchanting a primitive axe to be more powerful.
