Doctor Who is a very strange show. There's a different setting nearly every episode, more often than not a different genre every episode, has super confusing time travel continuity, loads and loads of characters, lots of weird monsters, and a main character who can turn into a different actor every few years. Plus, a whole lot more than that. There is canon precedent for a lot of very odd things, and a canon that explicitly makes up the mythology as it goes along, and changes it from time to time when it sees fit. It makes sense that there's going to be some weird stuff coming out of the fans of that show, because it's that kind of show. Science Fiction draws perhaps more than its fair share of silly, but I think for good reason. It's a fascinating medium from which a lot of creativity can be drawn.

Sherlock really isn't an odd show at all. It's a pretty standard 'they fight crime' show, with the twist being that the episodes are actually based on ACD stories rather than simply stealing the trope. Sure, there are some silly moments- the main character went to Buckingham Palace dressed in a bedsheet once, after all. However, unlike most things with fandoms, there are absolutely zero sci-fi or fantasy elements whatsoever. Sure, there are mysteries that haven't been solved yet, but everything shows that there's going to be a perfectly mundane explanation to it. There's nothing integral to the show that gives fandom opportunities for weirdness.

So, when Doctor Who fandom is being weird and cracky... well, yeah, what else do you expect from the fans of a fifty year old time travel show.

When Sherlock fandom is being weird and cracky... uh, yeah, that's weird. IDK why they're doing that. Except for the fact that it seems like half of them migrated over from 11 era Doctor Who fandom because of Steven Moffat.

I've personally seen more Sherlock fans who have migrated to Doctor Who for the Moffat, but IA with this comment. DW craziness is more like people being dicks about totally canonical crack and insanity, whereas Sherlock craziness is people literally going out of their skulls into weird semi-religious awe over a better-than-average BBC crime drama.

I guess they both have the excuse of having canons that have been fictional institutions for decades, but still...

I would say it is the other way round. I found that I and with me many more were in the DW fandom long before we were in the Sherlock fandom. And interesting enough the same goes for many of the other fandoms The Sherlock fans are invading. Many of my friends that are in the Sherlock fandom were also in the Star Trek fandom/DW fandom/Marvel fandom/LOTR fandom/Good Omen long before Sherlock was even shown.

That said I still don't get why Sherlock fandom manages to get so big when there are so few episodes. The fandom should have calmed down 6 months or so after the last episode, just like all the juggernaut film fandoms do. Instead it just keeps getting crazier and crazier.
