One is that the modern Pagan community has been toying with this idea here and there. I know that every so often books will come up that attempt to create a new pantheon that's relevant and immediate to modern day polytheists. The last one I'd seen (and I don't remember the name of the book, sadly), was cutting the deities from whole cloth, instead of repurposing deities from existing or ancient pantheons.
Secondly, have you met Kim Long-Ewing & her daughter Rhea Ewing? For several years, they've run an online webcomic called Urban Fey, which is about the struggles of the eponymous Urban Fey to gain acceptance in the courts of the older faerie pantheons. Local to Madison, and Wiscon regulars to boot!
