Welcome!

Welcome to SVUfiction.com, a Law & Order: Special Victims Unit fanfiction archive. This website was created in hopes of encouraging more people to write and share their stories, in addition to having many different ratings and pairings in one spot. Don't be shy if you have a story to share!

To submit or review a story, please register. All stories require validation and may a few days to appear in the archive if accepted.

Hosting update -- Jan 24, 2010 07:56 PM 2 Comments

We have successfully moved the site to a new host! This means that the archive is in full swing again.

You can now use the Contact Us page again to report issues or get in touch.

Our new host has automatic 24-36 hour backups and 99.9% uptime, so rest assured that your stories will be safe here. This is a definite upgrade.

We have a backup of the forums from the old servers, but whether or not they will be reinstalled is up in the air. I am considering programming a new forum that will jive better with the archive, allowing you to login with your username here rather than register a second time, but that would be a long-term project. (What do you guys think? Old forums now or better forums later?)

Firefox users: Since we have transferred, Firefox has been detecting the wrong character encoding for stories that were submitted using Microsoft Word. I'm working on a permanent fix, but in the meantime go to View -> Character Encoding -> Western to get rid of those weird black diamond question marks that show up. Authors: steer clear of MS Word if you can, just for now.

Watch this space for upcoming news on the validation process and various site improvements. Questions and suggestions are more than welcome.

Best,

A ratings reminder for authors! -- Jan 18, 2010 11:15 PM 0 Comments

It is essential to follow our simple rating system when submitting stories:

E for Everybody - Okay for everybody.
GC for General Content - Okay for wise children.
QC for Questionable Content - About on the same level as teenagers.
MA for Mature Audiences - Inexplicit but mature language, nudity, and/or violence.
AC for Adult Content - You must be the age of consent, wherever you live, to view adult material with this rating. Explicit depictions of adult content.

Something easily overlooked but in complete violation of this system is the practice of writing summaries that are inappropriate for a general audience. Whatever rating your story is, anyone can browse and run into your summary, so please keep your summary "E" for everybody and save the hot stuff for those who click through to read.

Please make sure to look back on your stories to make sure your ratings and summaries are acceptable. Fix them if necessary. Thank you!

Changes -- Jan 11, 2010 01:57 AM 10 Comments

SVUfiction.com will be switching hosts soon and we'll be aiming for a seamless transition. Our previous hosting situation has lead to ongoing problems on the administrative backend, deterring access and uptime of the site databases in an unimaginably complicated way.

Suffice to say that the forum tables are intact but the software needs to be reinstalled. More frustratingly, email communication from the site to the administration has been sporadically reliable given the backend of our email service, so I have not been getting your doubtlessly countless emails about the site's problems.

Validation has temporarily been removed in lieu of a validation team, entrusting you all to adhere to the site's traditional rule system without a monitor.

Once we reach a height of stability with the technical details of our hosting and coding, we will gradually reinstate both the old validation methods and more open communication (maybe through an e-ticket program to deal with issues as they come).

In the next few days, keep the fanfiction coming and abate grammar faux pas with constructively critical reviews (as Darwin intended). Feel free to comment on this news item to vent your thoughts. Hang in there gang. I'll keep you updated as we go.
