Common Tropes in Fanworks
- Love Triangle: almost always involving Shane Walsh, sometimes portrayed as a threesome or poly relationship (Grimalsh)
- No Zombie Apocalypse AU: Set in the modern world where no Zombie Apocalypse takes place, stories vary, sometimes Rick and Lori remain together and are happy, sometimes they divorce
- Lori lives: Canon Divergence AU where Lori does not die in childbirth
Controversies
- Shane relationship: Many fans expressed a great hatred of Lori because of the timing of her relationship with Shane, they interpreted it as cheating on her husband.[2] Although, some point to this as an example of misogyny within the fandom because all the fan rage was directed at Lori and not Shane.[3]
