Sell Your Fandom/Pairing (and a pitch for the pinch hit list)  
Sign ups open in a couple days, but in the meantime, take a moment talk up your favourite pairings and fandoms. Get offers! Get fans! Get someone to at least watch/read/listen to the bloody thing!

Use the comment space on dreamwidth, or make your bid on tumblr and tag it "Femslashex." We'll keep track and make a links list.


ALSO! Please consider adding your name to the pinch hit list.

All you have to do is join the group, and you'll get e-mails when we're looking for pinch hits. No obligation to claim anything, but if you want to, you can just reply to the e-mail or the notice on the group page.

Pinch hitting is a great way to help out, both because it's pinch hitters that make fests work and because if you're choosy you can pick over things before you claim them. I'm also a fan of pinch hit lists just because I like getting to see who asked for what and so on.

Tomb Raider - Lara/Sam
Tomb Raider (2013). Lara Croft/Sam Nishimura.

Picture the scene. Two good friends, wrecked on a remote island off the Japanese coast filled with insane cultists who worship an insane goddess. One girl is kidnapped and the other spends almost the entire game trying to get her back, fighting her way through jungles, wolves, and hordes of men with grenades and assault rifles.

Here is some actual footage:



FORREAL YOU GUYS THIS IS THE FEMSLASHIEST ACTION GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED.

Re: Tomb Raider - Lara/Sam
I've wanted to play this game for a long time and now I just might cave and get it.

Is it um, difficult though? I picked up an early tomb raider game a few years ago and ragequit it halfway through because I sucked so bad. :')

Re: Tomb Raider - Lara/Sam
I didn't find it overly difficult. There were some frustrating combat sections, particularly the wolves (oh god, the wolves), and some of the later parts have fairly tricky puzzles but I never felt the need to turn the difficulty down. I certainly didn't find it as hair-pullingly, throw-my-computer-out-of-the-window awful as some of the 90s TR games!

Re: Tomb Raider - Lara/Sam
Honestly, I had never managed to finish a Tomb Raider game before this one.

(Also, if you're playing on PC and really struggling, there are plenty of sites that have game saves you can download.)
