By Any Means Necessary

by Fic Writer From Texas

It's a new world where the dead walk, there's no government, no justice system, a world where it's truly survival of the fittest, where the strong prey on the weak, and there's only one rule. Survive by any means necessary! Can Jake, his two friends, and his teen cousin Jase use the skills they've acquired over their lifetime in order to ensure their and their groups survival? AU.

8. Chapter 8

Sorry guys this is not a chapter update, but me informing you that I'm thinking about rewriting the fic from chapter 1 which some things being changed. Such as, Jake along with Bear possibly being aged up a year each and Tyrone becoming 29 with the back story of how they all know each other being altered. Jase will not appear until S2 with another OC Sara (Glenn's pairing) and Rone in S3 to help lighten the load of OC dialogue and ease into somewhat povs better and later. Plus, it will go better with how I plan certain parts of the war with the Governor to go and it would give a better beginning to Rone and Andrea meeting and getting together.

Pairings will remain the same with Jake sleeping with Lori (she'll continue to be paired with him not really a spoiler though not until end of S2 beginning of S3) then going on to be with Carol and Maggie as well. Contrary to what I'm sure most of you believe is him having a harem, which it isn't because I consider and will describe it to be a polyamorous relationship between the three of them and I'm sure you've all already figured out who his 'recent' girlfriend was, somewhat, and why she'd be okay with it will be explained with also why the other two would. Jake and Sophia's father/daughter relationship will also be the same. Bear will still be paired with Amy and later on Sasha for reasons I'll explain. Rone will be with Andrea and possibly Lilly (woman Governor slept with who is played by Audrey Marie Anderson). Jase will be paired with Beth and only her, Beth in a way is too innocent and I don't feel like changing that, much, and there really isn't any other teens I could add to him without creating another OC unless you guys want that then give me some ideas (though if it happens it won't be until S4). Daryl will get an OC (really badass woman in my opinion), Rick will end up with Michonne, Tyreese with Karen, Sophia with Carl though later on, and Shane well he dies no spoiler there.

The whole gun and trailer situation may also be altered slightly though mainly in the way of how they came to have majority of the weapons. I'll work on the action and slowing it down as well as making it more detailed. Work on drama, thinking of throwing Jake's hat in on the list regarding who Judith's father could be. Dialogue will hopefully be better too. I also plan to make it more of its namesake of the whole by any means necessary in regards to survival, retrieving their kidnapped group members, and getting out of sticky situations.

Hopefully, that'll all come soon and the first chapter will be posted up by either Friday or Saturday. I hope you all somewhat like and enjoy with how I'm going to be changing some things up and the sort of same but different direction I'm going in.

Let me know what you all are feeling, hoping it isn't negative. Until Next Time, N.T. signing off.
