IndyCroft.com News

*clears away the dust and cobwebs*

Well, regrettably, it has been far too long since I’ve had the opportunity to update the site. Unfortunately it’s not likely that any further updates will happen any time soon. I’m mainly just writing this as a brief update for anyone who still manages to find their way to IndyCroft.com, that yes I, L.E. Croft, am still alive and well.

I’ve sadly had to put IndyCroft.com on hold because there have been far more important things I’ve had to direct my attention to in the last year. School being a major factor. I still care deeply about this website and it is my hope to keep it up so long as I can afford to. It is also my hope that when I do have the extra time, that I can get the site completely back up and running. For now though, IndyCroft.com will have to remain a ghost town so to speak.

Some plans I do have for the site though is to focus less on the franchises and more on fan based material, and my own endeavors relating to Indiana Jones, Tomb Raider, and archaeology. Therefore, I will not be burdened with trying to keep up with rumors and supposed updates on new films and games. While I do still care about Indiana Jones and Tomb Raider, I’ve moved beyond caring if either series continues or not. That may seem depressing to you, but it actually isn’t. The franchises really no longer matter. The characters have become immortalized by the fans, and regardless of whether either series continues, the fans are the ones keeping those characters alive.

So with that said, I hope to return here again in the near (rather than far) future with a brighter post announcing the revival of the site. Until then, long days and pleasant nights.

This is just a short update on the site’s status. There are several pages that are now available again. The main site’s page won’t be uploaded until I’ve made sure that all the links are correct and no one will be receiving 401 errors. So in the meantime, you’ll still be redirected to the news page. Below is a list of pages that are now available.

Forum - This is a new forum so if you were previously registered you will need to re-register in order to be able to post, etc.
Library - The fan fiction library is now available. I’ve updated the design a bit so it’s more functional. I’m always accepting new submissions to the library so if you’re a fan fiction author you’re welcome to submit your work. Here are just few guidelines for submission:

• Please only submit as an attachment in either .rtf, .doc or .html format.
• Please make sure that your story is properly formatted and that your spelling, etc. is correct. I’m not an editor so I won’t do these things for you.
• I will accept stories rated G, PG, PG-13, and R. As long as the story isn’t pornographic or hateful towards a particular person and/or persons, race, or religion, I don’t care. So meaning no endless sex scenes or Nazi paraphernalia.
  Please take note that I take no responsibility for anything you choose to put in your story. I will review all work submitted, but things can get overlooked. If you feel that something in your story may be too extreme you can notify me of whatever it is, I’ll review it and judge to see if it’s too bad to put on the site or not. If it is, you can tone it down or cut it, if you still want to have to story on the site.

Store - This is a new feature for the site. I’ve set up a store through Amazon.com, so now you can buy Indy and TR merchandise through IndyCroft.com.

Links - The TR and Indy links page is now back up. The fansite listing is shorter than it was previously. I know that between the last site updates and now many fansites went the way of the dodo. So if you were previously linked to IndyCroft.com and you find that you are not listed on our link page please email me so I can add you again. If you haven’t previously exchanged links with IndyCroft.com, but you would like to, please feel free to email me.

Well that’s it for now. I hope to have the most of the site moved over to the new servers by the weekend. But things rarely go as planned so I make no promises. Thanks for your continued support and patience.

We’ve recently switched webhosts and are currently in the process of moving the site over to the new server.  Many of the site’s pages are now unavailable, we hope to have everything back up soon.

Thank you for your continued support and patience.
