So I was requested to make a Lip Service/The Walking Dead crossover fanfiction. Basically, I'm taking the Lip Service characters and dropping them in a zombie apocalypse, and I'm going to follow the show in broad strokes. There will probably be some 28 Days Later influence in there too. Now what I have to figure out is if I want the story to be about Frankie's personal growth and struggle to survive for the first few chapters or if I want the reader to be as disoriented and confused as Sam is when she first wakes up.
Perhaps I could do both and alternate chapters. The first chapter being about Sam, the second about Frankie and so one until the stories interconnect in the present. Any thoughts?
Secondly, how closely do I follow the show The Walking Dead? Do I create some characters to fit certain roles so I can follow the show or do I work with only the Lip Service characters and allow them to take the story as closely or as far away from The Walking Dead plot as they choose? Or, perhaps, do I reinvent some of the characters from The Walking Dead so that they fit within the context of a zombie apocalypse in the United Kingdom?
Or again, do I reinvent the Lip Service characters to make sense growing up in the southern part of North America? I don't particularly want to do that as my first choice because I think it would be more challenge to write them in a zombie apocalypse in their universe, the Lip Service universe, than The Walking Dead one.But maybe it would be best. Any thoughts?
