I'm not really agreeing or disagreeing with you so much as you're missing the point. The people talking about Letang's surprising lack of fic despite his popularity are also talking about fic fandom. He is popular with people who write fic. You can say that you disagree with their evaluation of how popular Letang is, but you can't tell them they're wrong because you noticed that Letang doesn't appear much in fic, when that's the very thing they were pointing out and seeking and explanation for in the first place. It's circular reasoning.
