LATV: The Life of Detective Ben Weiss
In a world where several TV shows co-exist, Ben Weiss - the MC of this story and a man born and raised in this same world - is part of the Los Angeles Police Department.
After a long 5 year undercover op, he rejoins the LAPD in 2017 and has several encounters with characters from all walks of life. Along the way, the consequences from his undercover operation as well as his joining the force again results in Ben finding plenty of action everywhere he looks.

Chapter length is 3-4.5k and be warned, I'm playing around a little with the writing styles in the chapters to find different ways to put a story on paper (digital or otherwise).
Female lead will not be Haley Dunphy, just his first actual love interest. No fully written sex scenes, but romance will not be fully ignored despite the fast pace I intend to write the story in once the MC settles into his life.
I will include a bunch of OCs using the first name of every actor for less confusion, and I will put the casting choices I have in mind in small author notes when I do. Few of them will actually be truly important - but for reoccuring characters like a few doctors for example, I'll try and find cool casting choices.
I will include various shows and that brings a bunch of potential problems for continuity with it. I'm doing the best I can to make everything line up - like for example the Grammy Awards mentioned in S.W.A.T. S1E8 - they will still happen in New York Jan 28, 2018 with Ben being present because of a plotline I created.
But if I mess something up like a detail from one of the Halloween episodes of one of the shows happening a year before or after... so be it. A lot of the shows barely mention any dates, so I can only try and match everything to Holidays like Christmas or Valentines for example... sometimes the year can only be matched by looking at the release date of a season.

Disclaimer:
I am not from the US. I am not in law enforcement. So anything that seems highly unlikely to be something that could actually happen (like the very premise that Ben was undercover for 3 years without anyone knowing) should either be excused or this novel is not for you.
I'm doing a bunch of research to make sure the places and facts surrounding locations and events match, but if you're from LA or have been to the city a bunch of times or you're in law enforcement... just correct me if I'm wrong. I've only been in LA once in my life and have a cop step-brother (in a different country).
Furthermore, I don't own the rights to any of the characters or shows that I will clearly indicate where appropriate.
None of the actors I mentioned as casting choices have agreed to appear as the characters I envisioned them for and are associated to this work of fiction.
Shows included so far:
S.W.A.T.
The Rookie
Modern Family
Private Practice (1 of the doctors / plot of my fic is long after the show ended)
Scrubs (2 characters / plot of my fic is long after the show ended)
Shows that will be included, briefly or otherwise:
Brooklyn 99
Big Bang Theory
Castle (post canon since S8 ends 2016)
Shows that are considered (maybe for just a character or two):
Bosch
Lincoln Lawyer
New Girl
NCIS: LA
Law&Order: SVU
The Blacklist
LA's Finest (just to get Jessica Alba into the mix)
She-Hulk (just kidding - ugh)
Give me suggestions for other shows if you have them!
