Another idea is to create a fanfiction where an OC has a unique skill that helps the SVU team in a different way. Like an OC who is a master of deciphering coded messages left by serial offenders. This could add an exciting new element to the investigations in the SVU world.
One idea could be exploring an unshown backstory of an OC. For example, a character who has a hidden past related to a major crime in the SVU universe. Maybe they were a witness as a child but were too traumatized to come forward until now, and their presence in the SVU team stirs up old secrets.
Well, you can begin by brainstorming some secrets for your OC. What could they be hiding that would make their story interesting? Maybe they have a connection to a criminal organization without the SVU team knowing. Then, you need to think about the setting. Are you going to set your fanfiction in the present day SVU world or in a different time period? After that, start writing short scenes that involve your OC. It doesn't have to be in order at first. Just get your ideas down on paper (or on the screen). As you write more, you can start to piece these scenes together to form a coherent fanfiction story.
One idea could be that OC has been secretly dating a woman who works in the same precinct but in a different department. She could be a forensic scientist. They meet in the coffee room one day, accidentally spill coffee on each other, and that's how it starts. They keep their relationship under wraps because they don't want office gossip to interfere with their jobs.
The addition of an original character who is a psychiatrist adds a new dimension. It can bring in-depth psychological analysis to the stories. For example, the psychiatrist OC can help the SVU team understand the motives of criminals from a psychological perspective, which makes the plot more complex and engaging.
Another way is through external pressures. Say, the SVU team starts to suspect that OC is hiding something. They start to investigate, and as they get closer to the truth, OC and his girlfriend have to be more careful. This could lead to some really intense moments where they almost get caught, and they have to think on their feet to keep their relationship a secret.
Some ideas for Law and Order OC fanfiction include having an OC as a medical examiner with a hidden past that slowly surfaces during the course of the investigations. This could add an extra layer of mystery to the cases. Also, an OC could be a hacker who uses their skills to help the police, but also has to deal with the legal and ethical implications of their actions. Another option is an OC who is a witness protection officer and the challenges they face in protecting the witnesses while also trying to ensure justice is served in the cases related to those witnesses.
One idea could be a crossover where the magical world of Harry Potter has to deal with crimes similar to those in Law and Order SVU. For example, there could be a case of a dark magic - related assault in the wizarding world, and the characters from both universes team up to solve it. Maybe Hermione uses her knowledge of laws and spells to help the SVU detectives understand the magical aspects.
Another idea is to do a crossover within the 'Law and Order' franchise itself. For example, have characters from the original 'Law and Order' work with the SVU team on a high - profile case that involves both criminal acts and special victims. This could lead to some interesting clashes in investigative styles and legal strategies.
One common theme is the development of a romantic relationship between Carisi and the original character. Writers often explore how their different personalities interact in a romantic context.
One common theme is the struggle for acceptance. The OC detective often has to prove themselves to the established SVU team. They need to show that they are just as capable as the regular characters. Another theme is dealing with personal demons. The OC might have some past issues that come up while handling cases in SVU.
One great Law and Order SVU OC fanfiction is 'A New Detective in SVU'. It focuses on an original character who brings a fresh perspective to the squad. The character development is really well - done, and it shows how they interact with the existing team members like Benson and Stabler.
