Actually, Legend has a pretty sizable stealth fandom.

Where? All I know is that Lothi and eponymous_rose have written for it, I am trying to write for it, Primsong squees over it, and there used to be a fic by someone else somewhere on Geocities.

Of course, my Google-fu is pretty much nonexistent when it comes to fannish things...

As I said, it's a stealth fandom, mostly embedded inside RDA fandom. There's no strong centralised online presence, but at each of RDA's (admittedly few) con appearances, every time Legend is mentioned, there are many squees from the roomful. The RDA-related sites have Legend sections. I'm not sure how many Legend fans come from the JdL side, but there were plenty of cheers when I brought up Legend at Gatecon, at the panel that included JdL.

Moreover, the series gets occasional mentions and high marks from people who are outside the usual fannish world: it was reviewed (enthusiastically) on a site that covers old TV shows, and touted as One of the Great Shows That Should Not Have Been Cancelled and Should Be Released on DVD NOAW PLS.

The rise to prominence of steampunk is also a factor. Seriously, if Paramount would release the damned thing to DVD, they'd find a decent market.
