Tomb Raider Fanfiction Competition #8 -- Entries
 
[IMG]http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff139/Ooriki/TRC8.jpg[/IMG]

[U]THEME: Unsung Heroes[/U] - The world of Tomb Raider is rich with supporting characters, some of whom are more loved than Lara herself. It's time for them to get their time to shine as protagonists. For this competition, your primary character must be someone other than Lara. In fact, [i]she cannot appear at all[/i]. The story can of course be about Lara in some fashion, such as say, Kurtis Trent reflecting on his experiences with her. But Lara cannot make an appearance as anything but a memory or a thought.

Other than that, feel free to bring up Bartoli's master plan, the thoughts of the Cowboy prior to meeting Lara in Natla's mines, Sophia's true intentions, Amanda's dreams, or perhaps even some nameless henchmen that had the poor misfortune to run into Lara once and lived to tell the tale.

[B][COLOR=Red]The deadline is July 16th (two months from this thread being posted)[/COLOR][/B]

[u]Rules[/u]
[LIST][*]Word limit suggested between 100 - 5000 words (I expect most entries will be around 2000 words, but I like giving flexibility if it is needed -- see quote below)[*]Use proper spelling and grammar[*]Leave a blank line between paragraphs for the purposes of posting the entry on the forums[*]The entry must follow the theme outlined above (but how you include the theme is up to you)[*]The entry must be original, your own work, and specifically written for this competition[*]The entry may refer to anything from the official games, but not to another person's fan-created content[*]One official entry per person (if you post more than one that's fine, but indicate which entry will be voted upon)[*]All entries must be posted in this thread by the deadline[*]Every participant must vote in the subsequent voting thread in order to have their own entry count[/LIST]
I'm giving this one a longer deadline in response to [url=http://www.tombraiderforums.com/showpost.php?p=4571295&postcount=15]Eddie's feedback[/url] regarding overloading the forum with too many contests. Also, the restriction on Lara's participation might make take a bit longer to flesh out plot-wise, and I don't want anyone feeling the pressure of a four-week deadline.
