walking dead fanfiction

This is a Walking Dead fanfiction. I'm not a good writer by any means; I'm a college student and on break, so I thought I'd write this. Im feeling motivated at the moment, but human nature is fickle, and I'm human, so once I lose interest or get busy, I'll probably drop or just stop updating. The stories meant to follow James Cardigan, and it's supposed to be self-insert or reincarnation, but I don't really have chapters planned or anything planned, to be honest, so give some thoughts or ideas, and I might implement them. (If you want it to be self-insert say so; if you don't want it say so, it's pretty adjustable.) I don't want this to be a crack fic where MC gets power-ups and goes on a rampage, banging every woman he meets; I would rather try to build a realistic world (as real as one can make a zombie-infested world), one that follows characters around or close to the MC, main POV being from the MC—focusing on the survivalist theme of the original work. Also, it's supposed to be set at the initial onset of the virus outbreak; there's no real cause given that causes the mass outbreak of The Walking Dead in the series. Like they have to die to turn into a walking dead, so what caused all the mass death that caused the virus to balloon to where it was when Rick woke up a month later? I'm trying to unravel this mystery while writing this initial opening. Give me some advice feedback, criticism, whatever, anything welcome. (don't own anything from the original work)
