Chapter 13 has posted.

Hi LHunt, I'm not sure what country you're in, but my first instinct would just be to research photographers for your city. A lot of them will use Facebook and Instagram to drum up business and display their work. Can't really give any specific recommendations though. The only photographer I've ever hired was our wedding photographer, and my wife chose that.

Hi GhostOfCovid, not as much progress as I would have liked, because of family commitments, but I'm about half way done with the next chapter. I'll post in the forum when it's finished, so if you've turned on email notifications, it'll let you know.

Hi Donkingkong, I've started the next chapter and finished finalising Lara's tattoos. Next two weeks coming up will be very busy, so not much time for writing, but I hope to get some time after that.

Hi Extreme, I misunderstood. Sorry if you didn't want spoilers.

Hi Extreme, glad you enjoyed the chapter. Lara signing away her Title is just another mindfuck from Sarah to unbalance Lara. She'll rip it up to make Lara feel grateful, but at the same time casually mention that she won't tolerate any further bad behaviour and Lara could easily wind up back in Konstantin's care to correct her attitude. So on the one hand, Lara feels gratitude, but she's also fearful and forces herself to change her thinking and attitude. She forces herself to think of Sarah as "Lady sarah", as she can't afford any more slip ups, and her attitude becomes more accommodating and submissive. At the same time, she's more hesitant to complain about her treatment - like waking up with some brand new tattoos. As a condition of tearing up the paperwork abdicating her Title, Lara also agreed to do some PR photo shoots for the game, which get progressively more revealing (and Lara doesn't know that the PR website in question is actually Onlyfans). By the time Lara learns the truth, she'll be so hooked on the attention and validation she receives from her fans that she won't be able to stop. But again, this story will slowly be developed over the rest of the chapters. By the end of the story, not only will Lara unknowingly be Tomb raiding for Sarah, but Sarah's constant manipulation will have transformed Lara Croft from a snobby, high class aristocrat into a tattooed amateur pornstar on Onlyfans. And Lara will be grateful to her for it - the ultimate gaslighting.

Hi Donkingkong, thanks for the positive feedback.

Hi LHunt, as to your first comment, yes all of the filming will be remote - Sam will be using hidden cameras and a few stealthy drones. Later, she'll edit together a highlight movie for the big reveal at a Charity dinner down the track, when Lara's dirty little secret is finally exposed. After the African chapter, it'll be back to the newly renovated Croft Manor (or perhaps we should start calling it Green Manor) for the final arc of the story.

Hi LHunt, glad you liked it. I initially wasn't sure that quad anal but was able to find 2 really old videos of it online, so I thought surely an athlete like Lara could manage it. I've actually changed my mind about the next chapter, and will make it the African tribal gangbang. I've decided to make Sam a bigger part of the second half of the story, so I want to be able to cover her internal thoughts, emotions and motivation early on. And since she'll be secretly filming the gangbang, this is the perfect time. To further fuck with Lara's head, and to distinguish the next chapter from the prison gangbang scene, this will be a fun gangbang for Lara. In order to be given a fertility idol, she must prove that she is the avatar of their tribal goddess. Lara will initially just be playing along, but is pretty soon having the time of her life with a couple of hundred well-hung, hard-bodied natives who think it is their religious duty to give Lara (who they believe is possessed by the spirit of their sacred goddess) neverending orgasms for an entire week - going down on her for hours each morning to get her juices going, followed by making her airtight for the rest of the day, and a huge bukkake as tribute to her every night. It's how Sam will get to see Lara's uninhibited inner slut.

Chapter 12 is posted.

Hi GhostOfCovid, this chapter will pretty much be the tipping point. After this, the rest of the story returns to Croft Manor, where the pace of activities will gradually escalate, as different plot elements come together.

Thanks. Chapter 12 is finished. I'll post in the next couple of days, once I finish proofreading.

Hi LHunt, I was thinking either following a target or evading pursuers - that sort of thing.

Hi Donkingkong, I'll leave the moping bit and just go with the first part. I'm writing that Lara once told a story to Jonah around the camp fire of a time she snuck into a men's restroom and slipped on a puddle of urine on the floor, and how it freaked her out. So having all the prisoners piss on her should plausibly explain her finally breaking.

Cool, 1 vote for yes.

Hello all, I'm looking for some advice as I wrap up the current chapter. Before I commit, I'd like to know if I'm going to far down the degenerate rabbit hole. Basically, Lara's been being broken by a round the clock gangbanged by the prisoners. Towards the end, Jonah will finally join in and choke-fuck her. Lara will piss herself and beg for her life. I had the idea that the prisoners piss on her (or in her), and then the guards fetch a cleaning bucket and make her mop it up using her own hair. That'll finally break her. Basically, I'm asking if this is going too far, as I've never posted any watersport stuff before? Looking for a consensus. Hot, disgusting or meh? Thanks.

I should have some time to work on it next week, so hopefully finished in about a week or two.

Hi Donkingkong, I realise my fight scenes are PG-13. My heart's not in it to give Lara a full-on brutal beatdown, and I don't want to cause her any permanent damage, because the story can't progress if she's stuck in hospital for the next 10 weeks recovering from injuries. THat said, there'll be some more fights in the next chapter, but it'll be more about psychological demoralisation and humiliation, rather than outright physical damage.

Hi Extreme, the site is back up and running normally (hence the first new chapter in many months). In terms of the next chapter, work's been really busy and the whole family came down with gastro, so I haven't written anything for two weeks, but I'm hoping to get back on the grind once I have the time and energy.

Hi LHunt, busy proofreading a comic by TR_FAN at the moment, but as soon as that's done, it'll be full speed ahead finishing the next chapter. I'm anticipating that the finished story will be around 18 to 20 chapters long (making it my longest story so far), but it feels good to be past the halfway mark. The stage has been set and events will start moving more quickly, once Lara's back at Croft Manor.

There will be more paintings, as well as a water sculpture - a fountain with a naked sculpture of Lara on her knees, face upturned, flanked by two naked men (based on the pornstars). Lara will be holding their penises pointed towards her, and water will fountain onto her face - as if she's receiving a facial. I haven't decided if this should be outside (i.e. a traditional fountain) or inside (maybe even in the dungeon and perhaps spurting Champaign instead of water, as refreshments for her guests).

Hi LHunt, I'm picturing a large projector screen in the main hall, with all 150 Charity members present.

Hi everyone, just a quick update. I'm currently writing the prison gangbang scene and was thinking how I could do the African village without it being too repetitive, so I've decided to try something different. Instead of doing the African chapter next, I will mention the events but then wait to describe them in detail until the Charity dinner where Sam airs the footage and Lara's dirty little secret is exposed. I'll be describing the events based on what Lara and the guests see on the big screen and Lara remembering the shameful things she did. This way, I can incorporate her reaction to the Charity guests comments about her performance, laughing at and mocking her etc. It'll let me turn the humiliation factor up to 10. Plus showing Lara's embarassment at Sam's running commentary. A rough storyline is that Sarah arranges for Lara to recover a valuable African artefact with maximum publicity about her discovered a lost Tomb, dodging boobytraps etc (the usual Tomb Raider stuff), and even has her stage some publicity shots in her new Tomb Raider outfit, with brand new tattoos, as a marketing tool for her game. Then at the dinner, Sam will show the guests how Lara really obtained the artefact - she bought it from a local tribe by trading money and her body. I feel this is a great way of tearing down Lara's self image, as it implies that all of her tomb raiding exploits are staged and she's a fraud. It all adds to Sarah deconstructing her personality.

Hi MorbidFantasy, with Nishimura it felt like the sex back at his place would have been a little vanilla compared to the public sex acts on their date. You're right in that it's always a balancing act between fleshing out the details vs becoming repetitive. My other consideration is that this story is being written from Lara's perspective, with the reader only occasionally being shown events and conversations outside her knowledge for context. Coming from that perspective, I'm mostly telling the events that would be memorable to her, as I could see a lot of her day-to-day activities almost blurring into one as they become routine and almost mundane. You'll probably see this in later chapters, when Lara returns to Croft Manor to find the newly renovated sex dungeon that Sarah had built in the basement. As Lara's already had sex with the staff multiple times, it's not really anything new or exciting for her. I'll still mention it and show a sex scene or two over a few pages to show the reader that it's still ongoing. But then the plan will be to focus on Lara's new customers.

Hi LHunt. Thanks for the vote of confidence. Now I just need to find the time to write it all.
