My personal opinion? There is nothing inherently wrong with the Supernatural/Doctor Who/Sherlock crossover combination. However, a lot of the people calling it Superwholock are not putting in the effort to do a three-way crossover well. They're just throwing a lot of stuff they like in a basket and laughing maniacally.

Considering some of the things I wrote fifteen years ago, I'm not really in a position to criticize other people's choice to throw a lot of stuff they like in a basket and laugh maniacally. Enjoy. But it's their cocktail of awesome, not mine, so it's not to my taste.

Another factor for me is that I'm not very fond of Sherlock, and it's outside the sci-fi/horror genre, so it annoys me.

Yet another factor for me is my violent aversion to portmanteau fandom descriptors.

Sherlock is not outside the Sci-fi/horror genre. It might be just marginally in it thanks to the Mystery of Baskerville Hound of the Glow in the Dark Rabbits it is just in it.

I'll agree that most of the fanficcers and fanartists who dabble in it are 14 year olds (or have the emotional maturity of one) who are just going for the "WatsonWhostiel tee-hee-hee am I dones clevar yet?" effect though.

Some versions of Sherlock Holmes are marginally in a supernatural genre, but "Sherlock" isn't. The hound in Sherlock was the result of a hallucinogen, and the glow in the dark rabbit was the result of gene splicing.

It still invoked horror tropes, and the gene-splicing/hallucinogenic fog was definitely, albeit marginally so, sci-fi.

Personally I think Sherlock is the more universal crossover candidate of the three because it's not sci-fi/fantasy. The part that makes me itch is when a sci-fi fandom gets crossed with a fantasy fandom and writers don't explain how the fuck that works.
