Modern as in internet? As in post-usenet?

I'd say it went in stages, honestly. Star Trek played a part, but I also think Buffy, Harry Potter and LOTR collectively played a part, being big around the same time. But they were still way past usenet and everything else.

If you mean even before usenet, I'd say Star Trek, but I'm not really sure. And actually, I think the original Sherlock Holmes did have a fanfic following, even back then...

I meant "modern" as in post 1960s lol ;) aka not Paradise Lost, Virgil's Aeneid, Dante's Inferno, Sherlock Holmes, Little Women, etc XD

Sherlock Holmes fandom did survive past the 1960s, though? It's still thriving. There's been a major film adaptation and two television series, not to mention novels and mash-ups. How many "modern" fandoms can say that?

OP

Yes, but that's...not what I meant. I meant the movement of fandom that *started* in the 1960s-70s. I didn't say anything about *ending* in the 1960s.

You sound really weirdly defensive. I only singled out Sherlock Holmes because its fandom is such a big deal and is so unique that the whole fandom is sort of an outlier and anomaly when compared to the rest of fandom.
