Hi GhostOfCovid, my thoughts as well. Hopefully when it's back up, it'll be fixed once and for all, so the hacks end and life can return to normal.

Hi everyone, hope you all had a good Christmas. Just a quick update: Chapter 11 (Part 1 of the Siberian prison) is finished and I'm about to start proofreading. After that, I'll start on Chapter 12. When the site is finally back up and running, I'll post all of the new chapters one week apart, like I did for the first 5 chapters.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Hi SailorNemesis, not posting anywhere else at this stage. I'm just waiting for the site to come back online and writing in the background. If it drags on for months, I might have to reassess, but at the moment I'll just be patient and wait (and cross my fingers).

Hi Donkingkong, really busy with work and family at the moment, so struggling to find any free time to write. I also hope the site gets back up and running.

Cool. No more spoilers.

Hi Donkingkong, I think I have an idea to make that work. I was wondering, rather than introduce another character to fight Lara, how would you feel if Konstantin did it? He's got the motive (Lara did stab him and his sister is dead), and he's a legit badass (he's a professional soldier who pushed his thumbs through a man's eyes for failure - and all of his men are afraid of him). While he's not ridiculously massive, he's still a big guy who is much stronger than Lara and would easily outclass her physically, and he'd probably have superior unarmed combat skills as well. I can imagine a point towards the end of the first fight where he picks up Lara by the head and holds his thumbs against her eyes and threatens to blind her (which she's seen him do before) at which point Lara loses all composure and wets herself. Konstantin can force her to participate in rematches throughout the week, with Lara fighting more and more defensively, until eventually she's just trying to run/climb/crawl away from him, and has to be dragged back screaming/begging/crying.

Hi Donkingkong, I just read your email. Thanks for the suggestions - I'll give the videos a look. A round 2 probably won't fit in with the story, but I'll make sure to give you a very thorough and detailed fight scene.

Hi Donkingkong, I sent you an email if you get a chance to read it (just some Ryona questions, since you're the expert 🙂). The Siberian arc is going to be 2 chapters worth and I'm about a quarter of the way through the first chapter. I'm also looking forward to more Fat Man Chronicles - it's the fan fic that got me into writing.

Hi Deadman, thanks for the update!

Hi MorbidFantasy, yeah it's a bummer about the site still being down, but Admin are doing their best to fix it. Chapter 10 will post the moment I get notified by the AFF news board (or one of you guys) that it's up and running again. In the mean time, I'll keep grinding away at Chapters 11 and 12 (Siberian gulag) whenever real life allows me the time.

Hi LHunt, glad you're excited. I'll try not to disappoint.

Hi LHunt, everything will occur at the Manor (Charity Dinners, sex dungeon stuff, private parties), since this is a controlled environment where Sarah can ensure everything runs according to plan. Basically, it will slowly be revealed that Sarah is far more calculating and manipulative than Lara realises, and has several different agendas for wanting to control her.

Hi Guest, nice try but the story is way too long to fit (Chapter 10 is 12,500 words). Unfortunately, you'll just have to be patient. I'm writing Chapter 11 at the moment, so once the site is back up, you might get a couple of chapters posted within a week of each other, rather than the usual month long wait.

Hi LHunt. I want to have Sarah advise against Lara fighting, but in her arrogance, Lara believes she can win. I could also have Konstantin go through the motions of shooting her friend, but the gun clicks on an empty chamber. Then Lara would have to look in the eye the friend that she was willing to sacrifice, so that she could keep her title. The Title thing is just a ruse. Lara will eventually sign it over permanently to escape the gulag, but Sarah will generously tear up the paperwork (manipulating Lara closer to her). Of course, in return Lara will have to do some promotional stuff for the new Tomb Raider game - namely getting the same tattoos as her character and doing some photo shoots for her fans.

AFF Site Update: Hi everyone, I just heard back from AFF. The site is unfortunately still in Read Only mode, while they go through their source code to make sure they don't keep getting hacked. They'll post on the news board when everything is up and running again. They're as frustrated as we are and we just have to be patient. Personally, I'd rather they take longer and fix their vulnerabilities once and for all, rather than have this sort of thing happen every few months.

Hi LHunt, Roth is definitely dead (we saw him die). There's not much ambiguity there for me to retcon. In terms of people Lara knows humiliating her, that'll be what Atlas De Mornay, his wife and stepdaughter will be for.

Hi Donkingkong and GhostOfCovid, unfortunately I haven’t received any updates regarding AFF being in Read Only Mode. I just tried posing chapter 10 again, but it’s still not working. I’m starting the next chapter now. The Siberian Gulag will either be 2 chapters or one longer one (depending on how the writing goes). SPOILERS: Lara travels to a Siberian gulag to be handed over to Konstantin for a week, in return for Trinity allowing Sarah’s mining company to access nearby mineral deposits without interference. In this version, Konstantin survived Lara stabbing him in the chest (which he probably would have in real life, since he was wearing body armour) and Lara, being young and inexperienced, left without finishing him off. Konstantin wants revenge on Lara, who he blames for the death of his sister. In the gulag are different archaeologists, scientists and soldiers who are too valuable to kill, so Konstantin is keeping them prisoner until they break and agree to work for Trinity. Lara will discover that he has captured a beloved ally of hers. I’m thinking he either kidnapped Johah Maiava or Angus Grimaldi survived his fall in the ravine and has been held prisoner all these years. Konstantin will hold a gun to her friend’s head and threaten to shoot him, unless Lara agrees to unarmed combat with one of his men. The fight doesn’t end until one of them quits or is knocked unconscious. He sweetens the deal by telling her that if she wins, she can leave immediately (he’ll still honour the deal with Sarah), and he’ll free everyone at the gulag. If she loses, however, she has to remain there for an entire month and all of the other prisoners will be put on half rations. Overconfident, Lara agrees and has to fight a muscle-bound monster and it doesn’t go well. Lara is completely outmatched (think about Ronda Rousey trying to fight Brock Lesner). Her opponent slaps her around, lots of body shots to knock the wind out of her, but only slaps to the face, so that she won’t be knocked out – Konstantin wants to cause maximum psychological damage by making Lara quit on her friend. It’ll be brutal and humiliating (ripping open clothing, dragging around by the hair, atomic wedgies, crotch shots, breast being painfully squeezed and pulled, slaps to the face and body etc.) When Lara finally quits, Konstantin says he will shoot Lara’s friend, unless she signs a document permanently abandoning her Title to Sarah. He tells her he doesn’t care about her Title of Countess, but he knows that she does, and he wants her to suffer. Lara can’t bring herself to sign, so Konstantin executes her friend, which makes her very unpopular with the other prisoners. However, the gulag has an underground economy, where the prisoners bribe the guards for extra rations and privileges. Konstantin throws Lara in with the other prisoners, who take out their frustrations on her and then start pimping her out to the guards, in return for enough food to survive. I want to portray the whole experience as very dehumanising, so I’m going to make it that most of the prisoners and guards don’t speak English. Lara will be reduced to walking up to a guard, pointing at a bowl of food and then flashing her breasts. He’ll then wave her around the corner and make her do what he wants. I plan to make most of the chapter be Lara pulling a train with the guards and prisoners, rather than a free-for-all gangbang, since I’m planning a massive gangbang for the African chapter after this, and I want to differentiate them. Anyway, that’s the plan. Suggestions welcome as always. If there’s any specific stuff you want to see in the beatdown (since I’m far from an expert on Ryona), let me know.

Hi Farcry, I still prefer AFF and I'm not ready to jump ship yet. FYI, pretty much all of my stories would breach Literotica's submission guidelines anyway. They don't allow copyright material (so I'd need to remove any reference to Tomb Raider, Lara Croft etc) or bestiality (so those chapters would have to go) and a list of other stuff as well, so I'd need to extensively edit and censor most of my content.

Hi everyone, just a quick update. Chapter 10 is finished but there's a problem with AFF and I can't post it (I go through the regular process, it says the new chapter has posted, but when I go back in to check it isn't there). I've emailed tech support and hopefully they can fix whatever the problem is.

Hi Donkingkong, the current chapter is about 80% finished, and I'm aiming to finish it this week. After that, I'll tell you guys my plans for the Siberian gulag and African village chapters and get some feedback, before starting them. These will be the final away chapters before the action returns to Croft Manor, and the newly renovated sex dungeon. Plans for the rest of the story: Most of the sex action at Croft Manor will now take place in the sex dungeon. Initially, it'll just be the staff, but soon she finds herself regularly servicing Charity members as well. Lara will know they're Charity members who've signed non-disclosure agreements, but she won't know who, as she'll be wearing opaque contact lenses for the encounters. This will make the later Charity dinners a lot more embarrassing for Lara, as she'll have no idea which members have had sex with her and how many know her secret. She'll also be lent out to private parties by Charity members. I've planned a all girls party, where Lara attends as a pet dog (full costume - ears tiara, butt plug tail, drawn on whiskers etc - on all fours and being led around on a leash). She'll be spanked any time she tries to speak, have to play fetch with a rubber dildo, relieve herself outside in front of the guests and later go down on all the guests and get fucked by them using strap-on horse dildos. I want to do a men's party as well, but haven't got any firm ideas yet. Maybe a bucks party where she's the stripper. For both, she'll be wearing opaque contact lenses, so she won't know exactly who's there. The Charity dinners are going to gradually get more sexualised. The next one will be a Halloween fancy dress party, with Lara attending as Lady Godiva (completely naked). After that, a BDSM themed costume party, with Lara attending as a gagged bondage waitress (since the Charity members have already seen her naked, it'll be difficult for Lara to argue her costume is too revealing). She'll also notice the guests touching one of her new tattoos, which I'll go into in more detail later, and much to Lara's embarassment, Sam will be invited as a guest of honour to show a private screening of her latest documentary video (starring Lara). In addition to Sam being a recurring character, I do want to introduce one or two more villains from Lara's social circle to torment her (use her in the sex dungeon, humiliate her at private parties). I was considering just recycling Mary and Sybil as childhood frenemies, but I've also had a suggestion from LHunt to use Atlas De Mornay - her uncle who tried to prevent her from claiming her inheritance when her father died. If I went down that road, I'd probably give Atlas a bratty daughter or gold-digging wife, so I can still keep the female domination angle. That's the plan, anyway. General feedback always welcome, and as usual I'll hit you guys up for your opinions on specific details as the come up.

Hi Donkingkong, I wish I had some good news, but I haven't had much time for writing recently. The next chapter is about 60% done, but I probably won't get time to finish it for another week or two.

Hi LHunt, she'll be away the whole time, travelling straight from Japan to Switzerland to Siberia and finally to Africa, so that the renovations to Croft Manor can be finished. Aside from the new sex dungeon, I want to add an artistic water fountain at the main entrance, featuring a naked Lara statue on her knees, receiving streams of water on her face bukkake-style from some muscular male statues. The sex documentary chapter is about 40% done. I experimented with a few different characters (including Dr Boaz and some OCs) but I ended up going with your suggestion of Dr Taft and her therapist that she saw for her survivor's guilt.

Hi Donkingkong, next chapter will be the sex documentary, filmed in Switzerland with some old friends and enemies making an appearance. After that, it'll be off to Siberia, where Lara will find herself physically and psychologically broken, during a drawn-out and humiliating beatdown.

Hi Extreme, I realised that about the Gameshow, which is why the chapter ran long, so that I could include some sex scenes at the end. On the bright side, you're going to have some very sex heavy chapters coming up to look forward to.
