Katie Fleming is a popular and well-known Canadian Tomb Raider fanfiction writer, with a professionally designed website [1] devoted to her fan fiction, to various competitions and to her library of in-game screenshots. The surprise at her inclusion in the "Ten Years of Tomb Raider: A GameTap Retrospective" DVD in early 2007 caused some comment across the fanfiction community, many of whom 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 the controversy nick-named "KatieGate" [2],[3], [4]. However, at the time of writing (Sept 2008) the "KatieGate" controversy has largely died away and the fandom has 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."
