There is an entire anthology dedicated to welding the public domain canons of Sherlock Holmes to the Cthulhu Mythos, titled Shadows Over Baker Street. Thus, you can get to moving along the plot or action faster. In addition, the fact that as Public Domain property, everybody is likely to recognise them, you don't have to fill your work with Exposition, as everyone is already familiar with them. The advantage of this is that as a creator, you get a pre-established setting for your new work, saving you from having to make a certain amount of world-building, and you don't need to worry about things such as copyright, as nobody owns them. The only reason the creator can do this is because nobody owns the rights to the work they're using as a basis. It is easy to draw parallels to Fanfiction, except that the new work is an officially published property. In other words, the new work can serve as a sequel, a sidestory, a prequel, or interquel to the original work. It is similar to regular Canon Welding in that the creator takes two or more unrelated works and combines them, but at least one of them is in fact Public Domain.
