... but how is Sherlock Holmes not "fandom in the current sense of discussion and fanfic"? There was discussion. There's fucktons of fanfic, a considerable amount of it published as well as unpublished.

Yes, but its fandom was different back before the 1960s. It didn't have the whole commonly-known style of amateur fanfic and discussion back then, it had societies, pastiches, and essays. No fanfic with typical fanfic tropes and genres, and no slash. Even though Sherlock Holmes fandom started in the 1880s, the "current" style of fanfic and discussion, for ALL fandoms, really got launched in the 1960s-70s, with Star Trek zines.
