I sometimes fear that's the case sometimes, but it's actually still pretty active once you look at the new forum, the facebook group, and the vlogging side of the community. There's a variety of factors behind why it looks like its dying right now, but I think it can mainly be attributed to the more prolific writers no longer creating 10-20 blogs a month anymore and the fact that most people who join the community nowadays are mostly fans who aren't interested in contributing themselves. Not to mention how many people have either decided to move unto working towards a legitimate writing career once they finish their Fear Mythos series or are simply busy with their personal lives.

Personally, if there was one thing I would change about this community so it would grow, it's the fact that the vloggers are mostly their own separate thing. With the exception of the Architectverse guys, the vast majority of them aren't members of the "mainstream community", making it a extremely difficult to find their respective channels. To be honest, there have been times where I feel like they're more like a small pocket of the Slenderverse community that just so happens to use Fear Mythos concepts rather than a subsection of ours, which is super depressing. I honestly want these channels to be successful and for one of them to blow up in the same way Marble Hornets did, but at the trajectory things are going at right now that doesn't seem like that will ever happen.

At this point I'm just hoping that the novel versions of RAPTURE and Mephi will finally give the Fear Mythos some much needed attention once they get published.
