User:HallOfFame/Season 11 (Fake) Plots

Back by unpopular demand, here is my fanfic for season 11 of TWD. I’ll make a final 6-episode 12th season to wrap up the story, but if you haven’t read my Season 9 nor Season 10 fics, please do so you understand wtf is going on haha.

Some context: For convenience purposes, the addition of Nick and Alicia Clark is because FTWD ended with its 6th season and these two are the last characters to have survived. So Madison is dead, Morgan is dead, everyone’s dead except for Nick and Alicia lmao. Why? Because I said so lmao.

Also, I tried really hard to steer away from any hardcore science fiction shit, so I tried to tame the super-soldier storyline as much as I could. In my last fic, I introduced the notion that the Commonwealth conducts experiments on its soldiers through a drug that has traces of the zombie infection in order to make the soldiers unable to be harmed unless killed through the brain (READ THE FIC!).

I plan on making another fic as a spin-off to this season because mid-way through I introduce some new characters that will help with this experiment. I won’t go into too much but at the end of this season, Eugene and Jerry will depart from TWD and star in their own spin-off with the research scientists that I introduce in the mid-season finale. The spin-off will dive into my own ideas for how the zombie apocalypse started and how to reinvent science in the new world.

ANYWAYS, enough talking. Enjoy and please provide criticism! :D
