Sort of.
Poul Anderson, years ago, created a science-fictional race of Teddy Bear - like aliens called Hokahs. Highly imitative, and not understanding the concept of "fiction", once exposed to human stories they began COS playing them. They created their own little communities of pirates, the Foreign Legion....and Sherlock Holmes. One of the Pooh Holmes cases, as I recall, had the intriguingly suggestive title of "The Case of The Two Fried Eggs".
