Welcome to SID Database!

An addition to the Spectrum Headquarters website, this sub-domain was created to provide space for fan fiction writers from various Anderson fandoms to see their stories posted online. At first, this space was offered specifically to the writers who had already written Captain Scarlet fanfic for Spectrum Headquarters.

Only a handful of stories were presented to SID Database, and for a long time, the sub-domain remained untouched, almost forgotten, except for the links on the main site leading to it.

In the last years, SID Database was updated a number of times, to give it a new lease on life.

Today, the mission of SID Database is as followed:

First, SID Database maintains its initial mission: the posting of fan fiction stories from any Anderson fandoms, excluding Captain Scarlet (which will remain either on Spectrum HQ (classic Scarlet) or Skybase Central (CGI series). These fandoms are numerous and various, and the writers can take their pick from any series: Thunderbirds, Fireball XL5, Joe 90, Space 1999, UFO, The Protectors, Supercar, and any of the other, more obscure series!

Secondly, SID Database offers writers from ANY Gerry Anderson fandom the possibility to post stories from any other fandom OUTSIDE of the Anderverse. For example, many of Gerry Anderson's dedicated fans are also fans of Doctor Who, Star Trek, The Champions, etc. If they so wish, their stories can be posted here, and a link will be added to their author's page. The only rule is that they need ot have a Gerry Anderson fan fiction on either Spectrum HQ, Skybase Central or SID Database.

Over time, SID Database has become the home of other contents, outside of fan fiction: within its pages, you can find essays, various articles, scratchbuilding features, dossiers, etc.

Fan fiction and any other materials can be submitted to SID Database (as well as Spectrum HQ and Skybase Central by writing to spectrum_hq@hotmail.com. Submit your materials and we will write you back.

SID Database also provided a space for the materials previously found on UNITY CITY, a fansite which closed down some years back, and which was maintained by Pauline and Robin Day. If you are webmaster or owner of Anderson materials from various sites which are no longer running, no longer maintained or on the brinks of disappearing, SID Database can offer you a space where to post your material, so they will continue to be available for fans all over the world. Just write us a note to spectrum_hq@hotmail.com with either your materials or a link towards your pages before they disappear. If they are already gone, we found that the Wayback Machine on The Internet Archives can sometimes be an alternative to retrieve them.

Finally, SID Database presents merchandising pages of many Gerry Anderson fandoms, in which you can find links leading you to merchants, such Amazon, where you can purchase items to complete your collection!

Fan fiction stories are welcomed, as well as essays and articles. You just need to contact the administration, using the email address spectrum_hq@hotmail.com. Present your submissions, and we will write you back.
