Those are also in the public domain.

In deed. The creators are very dead, unable to create more themselves. I guess that's implied with public domain.

[(Anonymous)]

No, a creator may be dead but their work may not be in public domain yet. It depends on their country and its copyright laws.

How is that relevant in this particular discussion? This isn't about legality, it's about whether or not publishing fanfiction "damages the community aspect of fandom and accelerates a fandom's decline."

Clearly, in the case of Sherlock Holmes and Jane Austen, it hasn't. The fact that they're in the public domain only proves that they're old fandoms who've somehow managed to survive decades and decades of fanworks and their communities are larger than ever.
