The Walking Dead: No Safety. An Interactive Story Created by ClemyClooAndBabyboo. (Char. Slots Open)
So, to explain it briefly, I've been writing this story for a while and since the update I cannot update my older thread for it anymore. I've worked a long time on this and still am working hard on it although I don't update it very often. So this thread is to sort of revamp everything. Now, if you don't want to participate in the story but are still interested, you can check out the old thread and see the beginning of the story. However, it's a very shitty version and was very early on in my writing skills. Or if you wait a few weeks, I will have a remastered and better written version of the story up on my Wattpad, which I will link to when it is finished. But yeah, on to the actual thing. Also, special thanks to my biggest supporters who are super fucking awesome:

Hey. I know I've never commented before, but I stumbled apon this story a few months ago. Is it going to continue? I really enjoyed reading it.
Oh good lord almighty it's finally come back to haunt me. Alright well I guess i'm gonna make an update about this then. Thank you, @Malachite for reminding me of this thread because I completely forgot it existed. So I suppose I should take a sec to talk about all the happenings.
First and foremost, I'm not sure if this story will continue. I had a lot of fun writing it and it inspired me to become better at doing so, but as of now it's an interesting state it's in. Looking back, this was the very first time I'd have ever written any kind of story, so while it's very nostalgic to remember it, I still obviously had a LOT to learn. And now I have learned. I've grown and improved as a writer and looking back on my older stuff, this story does sting a bit because in all honesty, it's just so bad. There are things I could've done better, things that could've been worse, but overall things that are just structurally broken in the story.
Do I regret writing it? Nah. I learned a lot from doing so and a lot of people apparently enjoyed reading it, so where would the regret even come from? But do I want to continue? That's where it gets tricky. I'm writing 2 different novels right now, both of which I switch between every now and then, and I feel there's more potential there whereas Walking Dead is a property I no longer care about that much, and while I'm sure if I put my nose to the grind long enough I could come up with a unique idea and rewrite the story well, what's the point? Overall, on the topic of continuing the story, I'm just not sure right now. Maybe I'll figure it out soon and honest to god I'd LOVE to continue the interactions I've had with the people on here via writing this story. But I'm just not sure. Maybe I'll throw together quick rewrite of chapter one and get an audience vote on how it is. Might actually work out.
Second, and final I guess, A lot has happened since I made this post. Like a lot a lot. My step sister died, I moved house, I started working on new types of projects, I've improved mentally drastically and I have a job now. Whatever mindset I was in writing the previous chapters, that does not exist anymore. No Safety came from a place of deep depression whilst I was trying to find my way in the waking world you could say. The reason I worked so hard on it and had so much in the story is because of the time I could dedicate to it. Now? Sure maybe the time is still half there, but the mindset is gone. I don't want to reboot it in a different mindset and fuck up everyone's amazing characters that they so generously gave me for my horrid fan fiction story. So I'd have to get back into the groove of things and remember certain aspects of the characters if I were to continue.
Overall, no I'm not sure I'll continue but I do feel like there is something I could do with this whole thing if I tried. Thank you so much for reminding me of the story as an update is something I've needed to do for a while, and if you do enjoy this story also thank you because I can't even remember it without being frustrated at myself anymore lol. Regardless, have a good day folks. Maybe tomorrow I'll have a rewritten chapter one because why not I'm off work for 2 days.
