Home of the Slowpoke Series, some fanfiction about our favorite found-family zombie apocalypse show! Pro very-slow-burn, trying to keep it canon-compliant and fairly wholesome, and trying to keep in mind the Bechdel test at least somewhat. Howdy if you made your way here from AO3. Any financial support is always welcome @ https://ko-fi.com/havin_fun_imagining_twd
Hey welcome! I hope you get some happy nostalgia and find a good escape while youāre here.
The Slowpoke Series can be found here, along with all Reader Requests (including the two Fabulously Confident Reader stories).
Everything, including the link to the Chronological Slowpoke List, can be found under āKeep Reading.ā
I highly recommend going ham and diving in! Youāll find every chapter listed in order of publishing, from oldest on top to newest on the bottom.Ā
Kindness spam is always welcome for any story or chapter, even the oldies!
This series is reader-insert, has Daryl x Reader as the end goal, is fairly wholesome, and is canon-compliant (as much as fanfiction has that capability when adding a new character XD).
Reader doesnāt have a specific look. Twangy accent, yes, but their looks match whatever you look like.
Iām fixing to stick to canon and shove you right into and in between the episodes.
That thing season 10 and that thing in spinoff season 2 (yāall know the things) :P will be reworked into non-romantic relationships or a one-sided deal, no cheating or adultery will take place whatsoever, cross my heart!
The stories are not all in chronological order in terms of when things take place, there are some time jumps. But never fear, the time frame of each one is specified at the top. I donāt know about yāall, but I love me some non linear storytelling :) When the chapters are written out of order, itās on purpose.
All pronoun info along with trigger warnings are noted at the top of each story.
For those who prefer a tidy timelines, we got us a chronological chapter list now, too!Ā
Again, please remember that while Shane is the readerās big brother, their family isnāt solely blood related. The reader looks just like you (this is me asking that you imagine yourself as you are)
Any amount is a blessing and could really help right now, and Ko-fi doesnāt charge fees. Please toss anything in the Tip Jar

Been obsessed with media that has a passion for not killing people or taking away their chances of survival just because they're your enemy tbh. The Hunger Games, try and get the loyalists on your side, only cutting the head off the snake is justifiable, everyone else is human. The Terror, some of those men made their decision out of fear, we have to hope they'll make another decision. Avatar the last Airbender, they want me to kill him, and while I understand, there has to be another way. The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, gollum literally destroyed the ring and he wouldn't have, and Frodo wouldn't have, if he was killed at any point before. He wasn't redeemed, but he did play one of the most important parts in the destruction of it. Idk I just think it's important to try and think of everyone as redeemable and deserving of as many chances as they can get.

yes, I use generative AI as part of my creative process
no, I don't use generative AI as part of my creative process

I should probably define what falls under the umbrella of generative AI here but I kinda don't feel like it, but like. using an image generator to make references. brainstorming by talking with chatgpt. generating images of characters as inspiration. all that kinda jazz counts. as of course does full-on using genAI to make your stuff.
remember that your vote is anonymous, so you don't have to out yourself on one side or the other when you share. I'm just curious what the spread is actually like when there's some anonymity. if you're wondering my own opinion it's in my original tags, but I'm attempting not to be judgemental in this accompanying text.

Adult ProTip, from a security professional: If a kid tells you, "My parents are gonna kill me / kick my ass / kick me out" for something relatively minor, don't respond with shit like "Really? ;) that sounds a little extreme, don't you think sweetie?" because that shit really does happen.
Instead, respond as though whatever threat they are afraid of is fully valid, and offer whatever you can do to help- ask if they believe they are in danger of being hurt in any way, and work accordingly.
If they're overreacting, they'll usually realize and dial it back, self-correct and begin thinking a bit more rationally.
If they're not overreacting, and the danger is real, then they'll need a level-headed adult in their corner, not another condescending authority figure who doesn't believe them.
Writing a million words doesn't make you a good writer. But, anyone who makes it to a million words will inevitably have something going for them. If you're a bad writer at a million words you'll probably be bad in an artistically interesting way.
