Controversy
There was some surprise at the inclusion of Katie as the sole representative for fan fiction in the "Ten Years of Tomb Raider: A GameTap Retrospective" DVD. This sparked a debate across the fanfiction community, sections of which felt that this Eidos-approved documentary had ignored the contributions of the other award-winning authors active in the fandom (something that was largely out of Katie's control). The heavy-handed attempt by various semi-official TR fan sites to prevent fans questioning the choice of Katie as the representative of TR fan fiction blew up into controversy [14], [15],[16].
At the time of writing (Sept 2008) the controversy has largely died away and the TR fandom takes a kindly view of Katie's good fortune. To give Katie the last word, on the GameTap DVD she said: "I started writing stories for me, but if other people enjoy them, well that just makes it a whole lot better."
