There are HUNDREDS of parodies, pastiches, burlesques, travesties, satires, and now fanfiction of Sherlock Holmes not written by Conan Doyle. See the link below.
One of the more famous is a story written by an out of work carpenter named Arthur Whitaker who sent his story to Conan Doyle in hopes of a collaboration. Conan Doyle paid a sum of money for the typewritten manuscript and filed it away then in the 1940's long after Conan Doyle's death it was discovered and published as an actual Sherlock Holmes story. The truth was discovered, and apology printed, but the story remains as a famous pastiche of the great detective.
