One idea could be a story where the main character discovers a hidden community that has found a way to live in harmony with the walkers instead of constantly fighting them. They've developed a unique method of communication or control over the walkers, which throws the traditional survival narrative on its head.
Well, perhaps Luke in the fanfic could start having strange dreams that seem to predict future zombie attacks. He then uses these dreams to his advantage to save his group multiple times. Or, he could find an ancient weapon that is extremely effective against the walkers but is also cursed. This would add an interesting moral and survival dilemma. Also, Luke might encounter a group of survivors who seem friendly at first but are actually planning to sacrifice him to the walkers. He has to outwit them to survive.
One idea could be a group of survivors who find an abandoned military base and have to deal with both the undead and the secrets it holds. Another could be a story focused on a character who has a special ability to communicate with animals in the post - apocalyptic world, and how that helps the group survive. Maybe a fanfic about a community that tries to build a self - sustainable farm while fending off walkers.
One idea could be exploring a side character's backstory more deeply. For example, the character of Carver. What made him so cruel? You could create a fanfiction that shows his life before the apocalypse and how those experiences shaped him into the tyrant he became in the game. Another plot could be about a group of survivors finding an untouched, pre - apocalypse bunker full of supplies but also some dark secrets that test their morality. A third idea is to have a fanfiction where a character from the game gets bitten but instead of turning immediately, they seem to develop some sort of immunity and the group has to decide what to do with them.
A great plot for 'Walking Dead Game' fanfiction could be a character who has the ability to communicate with walkers in a limited way. They use this ability to try and find a cure or at least a new way to co - exist. This would lead to a lot of moral dilemmas within the group as some might see it as a betrayal while others see it as a chance for survival. The story could explore how this character's actions affect the group dynamics and their relationships with other survivor communities.
A great plot for a 'Walking Dead OC fanfic' could be an OC who has a photographic memory. This OC could remember all the pre - apocalypse survival knowledge they read in books or saw on TV. They could recall details about building shelters, finding water sources, and making weapons. Their ability could make them a valuable asset to the group, but also a target as other groups might want to use their knowledge for their own survival. They would constantly have to balance between helping their group and protecting themselves from those who would take advantage of them.
One idea could be that Luke discovers a hidden community that has a unique way of surviving the apocalypse. They use old - world technology in a new way to fend off walkers. For example, they've rigged up some sort of sonic device that repels walkers but doesn't harm humans.
A really interesting plot could be a character being transported into the game right at the moment when a major decision has to be made by one of the main characters in the game. The transported character tries to influence that decision, which has far - reaching consequences for the whole game world. They might have knowledge from playing the game that they think can save more lives, but things don't always go as planned in the chaotic world of The Walking Dead game.
You could create a fanfic where the walkers start to evolve in some unexpected way, like developing a limited form of communication. This would completely change the dynamic for the survivors. Maybe there's a young survivor who discovers they have an immunity to the walker bite but has to keep it a secret because others might try to use them as a test subject.
One idea could be an OC who has a unique skill like being able to communicate with animals in the post - apocalyptic world. This could help the group find food or avoid danger. Another plot could involve an OC who discovers a hidden bunker full of supplies but has to deal with other survivors who also want it.
One plot idea could be a group of survivors in the post - apocalyptic world of The Walking Dead using 'Search' skills to find a rumored safe haven. They face various obstacles like zombies and other hostile groups along the way.
