Indieapolis is Downsizing
After much consideration, I have decided to considerably downsize Indieapolis. We will no longer be maintaining directories and they will be removed 7/1/19. The following will stay open:
Reblog advertisements (they will be checked and queued monthly)
The twitter will remain open, and promos will be retweeted every month when the tumblr advertisements are queued.
The discord will remain open, but it will have limitations when first entering to cut back on spam for members. Discord Invites are currently closed and will be reopened in a few weeks.
We will still be reblogging promos for: indie rp blogs, group rp blogs, fandom blogs, and art blogs
We will always accept links to new masterlists/directories for any fandom, or other multi-fandom advertising platforms- PLEASE send us an ask/submission to be added. We will be happy to add you to our masterlist/directories page, which will remain available. Any directory/masterlist will not be maintained by us, but we want others to have access to it.
Indieapolis will always remain in this capacity for people to use.
Again, my apologies for this shortcoming on my behalf. I wish you all luck in your advertising endeavors.
Note from Nana: Though I've been passionate about bringing the indie community together, I have hit several time constraints in my life. While I enjoy working on Indieapolis, it's a lot of free advertising work, and with the amount of people/groups that I have been advocating for, it's been an overwhelming task. With the changing dynamics of the RP world migrating to new platforms, it's been intense trying to find time to negotiate connections with others on different sites. I didn't expect Indieapolis to get this big this fast, though some areas were use more than others, the maintenance is overwhelming.
That doesn't mean it can't be done for your individual communities/blogs. I will make pages to help indie rpers navigate various platforms themselves, including finishing the tags page so they can use fandom specific tags to search for new partners/track. I will also create a guide how to safely advertise on other platforms.
I would like to say thank you to everyone who supported us along the way. I hope that we've helped you, even if it was just a little bit. Though we didn't quite make a year with maintaining directories, I'm happy to have met many of you. I hope you stay in touch and continue to share your promos, and even if you don't stay in touch, I really wish the best for all of you.
