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 take a few months to appear in the archive.
SVUfiction.com has been running since 2003; that's eight years!

Recent Server Defacement -- Sep 26, 2011 02:28 PM 2 Comments
Dear visitors,
Yesterday morning, Sunday September 25th, our web host was the target of a large-scale website defacement attack. This attack involved the breach of our web host's management server and the superficial replacement of index files across multiple websites, not just SVUfiction.com.
Our web host reports that no further safety breaches were attempted by the hacker. Index files have been restored at SVUfiction.com and extra security precautions have been taken.
Your stories are regularly backed up and your passwords are uncompromised, but it is always a good idea to keep your stories copied on your own hard drives and your passwords changed every so often.
Our web host is working diligently to prevent these breaches in the future, so please feel safe in continuing to visit the archive and reading the stories you love!
Site downtime -- Mar 25, 2010 12:32 AM 4 Comments
Just to keep you guys in the loop, the recent site downtime was a result of the site unexpectedly using up too many system resources. We were temporarily suspended to prevent the server from overloading. That's how much you guys love to read these stories!
As a result, I've upgraded to a more generous data plan that should allot us the resources we need and prevent this from happening again. It was all handled by the same host, and the transition has been seamless. (You're probably reading this off the new server.) Nothing to worry about, folks.
Validation -- Feb 10, 2010 03:34 PM 5 Comments
Validation for new story submissions has been turned back on. This means that new stories submitted by unvalidated authors will no longer appear instantaneously in the archive, but stories by validated authors still will.

Authors: In order to increase efficiency, story authors who demonstrate consistent adherence to traditional SVUfiction.com quality standards (as they are defined by our rules) can earn automatic validation by submitting a minimum of three chapters which exhibit such prowess.
To earn this privilege with your forthcoming submissions, please submit only one chapter at a time and wait for your validation response. To earn it retroactively, please submit a list of three of your previously validated chapters in the archive using the Contact Us form. These chapters can be a part of just one story or multiple stories; it doesn't matter.
Check out our Editorial section for tips and advice pertaining directly to story writing and site validation.
Readers: Given the period of time in which SVUfiction.com accepted all incoming stories without a validation filter, you've probably noticed some stories written with lackluster grammar or spelling. If you've seen a story that you know definitely violated our rules, please use the "Report This" link on one of its chapter pages. You can also use the Contact Us form to point out specific authors or list stories that do not meet SVUfiction.com standards.
Since multiple readers will likely report the same stories, I will not be able to respond to you directly, but I will act accordingly if the reports are well-merited. Please use a fair amount of forethought beforehand if you decide to help out in this way.
* * *
Stories found to be in violation of our rules will be removed and their authors will be notified for a chance to improve their stories for resubmission.
This iteration of the validation process, as it certainly has been in the past, will again be quite time-consuming. Please be patient with this new system. Although it will start off very slowly and likely frustratingly so, it is designed to increase story quality and speed up things at the archive over time.
