I mean, I probably found the same number/amount of good, quality fics in both Harry Potter and House MD fandoms when I was in them at the same time, even though the latter was much, much smaller than the former.

Most fandoms tend to lean a certain way based on the targeted audience demographics (i.e. Merlin fandom has a lot of literary-style and historical fanfics, Sherlock had a lot of underworld and urban fantasy fanfics, etc). Heck, even the fandoms that ended up having a broad-spectrum audience (i.e. MCU/Avengers) have their own bent - so much variety, the fandom at large ends up leaning in a very tropey direction, though in most situations it still breaks down further (i.e. even though Thor is now firmly sci-fi/aliens, most people still tend to write Thor fics as fantasy and/or 'godly').

The House fandom had some of the best writers, imho. Some ships had a larger percentage of great writers, but they all had at least a few. Then Huddy became canon, the entire fandom was overrun by seventeen year old girls, and the fandom went to shit faster than the show :(

I only ever lurked there, and I left around season 4-ish. So glad I did, now.

You're right. This was so obvious it hardly needed stating.

I'm a bit sad now at the flak the OP must have got somewhere that this needed to be a secret.
