Well agents you have come this far, congratulations on at least considering your own mission. Please read the rules of engagement, they are here for your benefit as well as ours. HQ would very much appreciate that you use them. If in violation of the rules HQ may have to reject your report.

You may also wish to use a beta reader. Beta readers are the fanfiction equivalent of editors. In the most basic sense they can proof read documents for spelling and grammer errors, however they can also provide input into plot development, give you pointers on story structure, and provide feedback on characterisation. We have a list of volunteer beta readers here. Please let your proposed beta reader know what type of beta you require (i.e. do you just require feedback on spelling or grammer, or would you like a more thorough beta).

Please note that betaing is not a requirement for you to have your story archived here. It's purely a personal preference. It's just we wouldn't know what to do without them :)

General Rules

• All stories submitted should have some reference to a CI5 mission. If the story does not deal with our operatives it is probably not suitable for this reference source. Mission reports which mention other organisations and civilians as well as CI5 are, however, quite welcome.

• All reports filed in the database should be your own work. We will not accept submissions on the part of anyone else and we take a very dim view of plagiarism. Just remember how much trouble the British Government got into for that very issue.

• HQ is aware that certain of our agents may have a different view on certain events in the official mission reports. Please state clearly on your submitted report if your mission contains any information which would place it in the following categories: Adult or Slash.

• Agents will be expected to rate their reports for violence and language as well as the above criteria. Either the American (PG-13, NC-17 etc) rating system or the British (PG, 12, 15, 18 etc) will be accepted.

• We would also be grateful if agents could provide a summary of the mission report for inclusion in the introduction section.

• As stated in the future missions section we will not accept mission reports that are racist, homophobic, illegal or would otherwise incite hate crimes. That is contrary to the ethos of CI5.

• All submissions should contain a dislaimer for any copyright material they may contain

• We reserve the right to refuse to include any mission reports in our database.

Submitting Via Email

For those submitting via email, use the button below and attach your files to the email. Your documents should follow the style guide. Please ensure that as well as attaching the document you include a rating, summary and the category the report should be filed within (general, adult or slash).

• Style guide:

  • All reports should be in plain text or RTF format.

  • Each paragraph should be spaced from other paragraphs by a clear line. This means an extra return character, not any special formating from a word processor.

  • Scene breaks should be indicated by ~*~

  • No HTML formatting should be included, which also means no <> used as emphasis.

  • No indents of any kind should be placed in the text. No tab characters and no spaced indents.

  • All reports should have an extra line between paragraphs, i.e. a hard return between paragraphs. For an example of this, you can visit fiction already archived here.

Submitting Via the Web

Agents may submit their reports in parts if they so wish. Each part should be no longer than 250 lines, and the part number should be clearly marked. Fill in the following form using the style guide above and then click the submit button.
