Known in the mainstream? Yes, totally. But I can get why OP feels that anything produced about fandom for the mainstream is somewhat inauthentic. Maybe it's the fear of it being packaged in a way that's more understandable, or is for, like, being gawked at by people who aren't in the loop. Like, Fangirl is a great example, Rowell knows fandom and is doing the most authentic job she can - but read by people who aren't in fandom, it arguably still comes across as Weird Thing Weird People Do? Or maybe it doesn't, and I'm being too pessimistic, but I fear hearing the goddamn Big Bang Theory laughtrack every time I talk about my interests.

NAYRT but to me, it may be mainstream within fandom spaces as a whole, ie cons, etc, but I am pretty sure if I said to someone, "Hey I write my own stories about books/movies/comics/etc," it would still be seen as weird.
