I figured Moffat and Gatiss were probably fanboys, simply from the way they come across on Twitter and in interviews. They do seem to know what fans respond to. What kind of stuff were they involved in in fandom? Because it is a very broad term of course. But on the whole they did seem to be the most comfortable with the idea of fan culture. Of course they're not in the public eye so much.
Also, there's knowing people are doing this stuff and having an example shoved into your face.

They wrote fanfic and later they were part of the group that wrote the books and audios, which are basically professionally published fanfic. So I think they were just as much in the fandom as we all are and they just had enough talent to make it big.

I had seen a picture of Moffat as a boy reading a tie-in book and I think(?) he wrote the parody starring Rowan Atkinson. But I didn't know both he and Gatiss had been so involved for so long. I guess it makes sense he'd also be on online forums. And that he would have started out writing fanfiction.
So I guess I have to amend my first comment, where I said they reacted pretty cool for non-fandom people. I never got any bad vibe toward fandom from Moffat or Gatiss, so they reacted cool, period. Freeman and Cumberbatch might have had a geeky past, who knows. Or they might have studied up on it. Freeman seems to, at least a bit. But I bet it's still not cool to see manips with you and your friend's faces on them when you google yourself.
I'm still amazed Moffat and Gatiss were regular fans as recently as that. I shouldn't be, but I am. Thanks for that, you've made my day ;)
