My Black Magician Trilogy books fandom centered around a forum for years, before there was much fanfic or fanart anywhere else. Now there's more fanfic on Fanfiction.net and fanart on DeviantArt, but the forum is still pretty active. Other forums were made and there's even an LJ community, but most of the activity is at the one forum.
My interest started to fade a couple of years ago when activity was waning, but I made a comeback a few months ago, and I'm still checking in and posting semiregularly. I just posted yesterday. This is pretty much the first and only really active BMT forum, at least in a language I can read and write in, so I'm still active in it.
Oh, and there's also the W.I.T.C.H forum, for the comics. I read there regularly even when I don't post, and I am a member. I've been to other forums and the LJ communities, but this forum is the only nondead community.
I think I participated more on the forums than I ever have on journaling communities. I don't know why, but it seems easier to me. Maybe the way it's organized? In fact, the BMT forum is probably when I most active ever in a fandom.
There are a lot more slash fans recently than there were in the first few years of the BMT forum. Fandom has mostly centered around two pairings, one het, one slash, both canon.
