@JustABrokenTeen I'm sorry I just now saw this comment,but the only advice I have for TWD or Carl fanfics are that try to stay on the path of the show or comic,it's ok to change small thing but when writers go totally off path it's confusing and sometimes frustrating,also for Carl try to remember his age like if you start at season 1 don't make it too mature at first like most kids at that age are just friends it shouldn't get too mature of relationships until like ending of the prison because of his age,it's weird when they are like 10 and talking about kissing or some adult crap. And try to keep your characters not to wild try to imagine yourself or someone you know as a character like personality wise so it's more natural
