That is true. I went back and finished one of the two WIPs I had left hanging 5 years ago and have added 30 chapters so far to the other one. Out of the blue the InuYasha fandom called me back and I really wanted to start writing for it again so I did.
The author of the Dresden files has a more 'high fantasy' type series rather than Urban Fantasy/Supernatural, too which is also good called Codex Alera, if that is more to your tastes. My husband finally started the Dresden files three weeks ago and is on book 7 now, though he wasn't crazy about the first book since it's slow to start with all the world building but he enjoys it now and is already on me to look for 9 through 15 (I think) because we only have up to 8.
I actually sat down and rewatched some Inuyasha recently, and it's better than I remember it being. So much giggling at some parts and the story has some serious deep questions. So we'll see. I don't know if I'll post publicly until I finish the whole thing, but I can always change my mind if I do get anything on the page and such. The fandom seems rather quiet compared to some of the powerhouse floating around right now (hello, card carrying member of the #SPNFamily here, doesn't get much bigger than being part of one third of SuperWhoLock).
I don't mind some world building or high fantasy, either. I prefer, without a doubt, the Belgariad to LOTR for many reasons, but enjoy both thoroughly. Who knows? I'm always looking for new things to read amongst some of these old favorites.
As in Journey? We'll see. I don't know, generally speaking, how much interest there is in the story. The little poking I've done at the IY fandom has yielded a slow fandom, sooooo. But hey, I wouldn't continue the story for the fandom generally anyways. I love the characters of both series, so if I get inspired, it could happen.
Yeah, as in Journey. I've been meaning to go back and reread that story, because I really enjoyed it even though you never finished it, I just can't seem to find enough time. As I recall, it was extremely long. (Having finished writing a fairly epic fic myself recently I have a newfound appreciation for keeping so many characters and plot threads in order!)
The IY fandom has definitely slowed down since its heyday, but there are still active contingents in a few places (Tumblr is one... and the fans there sucked me right back in). And there's still some good fic being written, so there's that.
Yes. I actually was prodded by DEL with a wonderful review and re-read it myself. And yes. It's long. But boy do I miss some of these characters and it's been fun to get reacquainted again. It's tricky to keep them all straight in my head if I seriously want to pick up where I left off (and considering my heavy involvement in the Supernatural fandom, who knows?) but it might be fun to play in a quieter sandbox.
I don't really go to Tumblr, so I don't know anything about it over there. At all. I'm glad to hear there's still some involvement out there in the fandom and that there's some good stuff. I've had some fun rewatching the anime as of late. (And my favorites are rising back to the top. I still heart the crap out of Sesshomaru and Rin.)
We'll see if I ever post anything public and where. I got the sense that MM.org is kinda changing some things over there and I'm not sure how active the site is.
Just a reflex response to reading a post about that series and someone commenting about InuYasha. Though I have revisted what there is more than once.
I am rereading the Dresden Files right now though.

I'm glad you've re-read my little epic a few times! That makes me happy.
And I've always meant to read the Dresden Files. It sounds interesting.
