People who love this genre hang out at https://www.reddit.com/r/rational https://www.reddit.com/r/rational They call it "rational fiction".
There is quite some overlap with fan fiction, because people like to "fix" non-rational fiction. Eliezer Yudkowsky and his take on Harry Potter is the prime example. I can also recommend Alexander Wales who also made original fiction.
Probably the oldest related work is A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court by Mark Twain.
Another name mentioned often in this genre is Brandon Sanderson and especially his Mistborn series, but I have not read it personally.
