Controversy

Katie was included in the Ten Years of Tomb Raider: A GameTap Retrospective DVD in early 2007 to represent the world of TR fan fiction. This caused some comment across the fanfiction community, sections of which felt that this Eidos-approved documentary had ignored the work 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 blew up into controversy: [2],[3], [4].

At the time of writing (Sept 2008) this 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."
