I'd say you could make the best out of this series if you've good knowledge and understanding of Greek mythology and stories.
I know that the Jurassic Park section on Fanfiction.net has a nasty common trend that involves bestiality and raptor. Also know that the Harry Potter section is infamous for demonising characters and whitewashing (enough to make two tropes named after two common ones (seriously, how didn't the two have a name before?) and that the LOTR fanfics being a wee bit too obsessed with Legolas and Aragorn (Tolkien's stuff I wouldn't even dare touch out of respect for the fact his work revolutionise the fantasy genre. Terry's work I was very reluctant at first to go near until my friends convinced me to do a collaboration of a crossover fanfic).
Well, the Black Butler section is overrun with Sebastian/Ciel fics, anyone/OC (or anyone/reader!) fics, Modern Girl Transplant fics (often falling under "anyone/OC"), modern AUs to enable Sebaciel...ugh. It's just bizarre how they treat the characters. Someone really should set up an OFU (I think a possible one was alluded to way back in IAHF Year One).
I don't know if it's the crossover-heavy nature of the canon, the bonkers hard-to-follow plot, all the "cute" guys, or some combination of the three plus anything else I forgot to mention, but Kingdom Hearts is rife with badfic. From Sues and Stus to bad slash to ill-constructed crossovers, it's a canon with a little something for everyone.
Does that fandom have any goodfic? I don't think it does. One of the most infamous fandoms for bad fanfic ever.
Also, from personal experience, Percy Jackson. All Sues, all the time. You want somthing to spork, just go to FF.net, click the first Percy Jackson fic you see, and start ripping it to shreds.
I think it does have quite a bit

Some of the recommends might be subjective but I think the Sonic fanbase's problem when it comes to fanfics is that the good ones are outnumbered by the bad ones. That and it is heavily divided fandom... that and lack of creativity like the Metroid fandom when it comes to making fanart.
Most fandoms have badfic outweigh the good. Look at MLP, my personal #1 fandom. It has a lot of garbage fic out there. Like, a lot, a lot of garbage. Like. Dang. Still, it is known as having some of the best fanfic writers out there. Why? Because we have a lot of really good ones. Dangerous Buisness, Past Sins, Fallout: Equestria, and on and on. We have more badfic, yes, but there is so much exceptional goodfic and plenty of general good or ok fic, it balances out.
Sonic, on the other hand, has no exceptional fic. Nothing that makes you say, "Wow. This was professional quality writing. I might even pay some money for this!" The best Sonic fanfic is just good. Nothing that really stands out. Just, OK. And that is why it has such a bad reputation; because without the brilliant, the horrid stands out all the more.
Sonic as a franchise isn't exactly the easiest to make a really great story out of but I think the divided fanbase arguing over which canon is best makes it worse.
Seems like it can go to two extremes; some so dead serious about canon that deviating from it slightly or choosing the wrong one at the wrong place and time might get your head bitten off verbally, and others are so loose that ya can't even tell what canon it belongs to or if it is a Sonic story at all.
Though I think the Metroid fanbase has the weirdest ideas for shipping. Like Samus x Ridley or Adam x Samus. No, just no because the former is so wrong on so many levels and the latter is just frank since she see the guy as a father figure and he is an asshole.
I have yet to find goodfic for that fandom. *sigh* I'd write some myself, but I'm busy with missions. Oh, well...
Well, two, but the other one has almost nothing, just the description.
One fic idea was following a kid who has never been chosen by their divine parent, watching as all these others get quests and gifts, and mostly, a sense of belonging. Then, one day, they are called before the Oracle. They have a quest to embark on. And yet, still no parentage. This is a journey not only across America, but of self discovery.
Neat, but, that is all I have.
As for the other... well, one day Scapegrace mentioned a Fallout crossover. And that got me thinking. How would Fallout go, where the Greek gods still around? I wrote up a war never changes thing for it, but I'm on mobile, so I can't get it. I'll post it when I get the chance. Suffice to say, I think it works out terrifyingly well.

I'd say you could make the best out of this series if you've good knowledge and understanding of Greek mythology and stories.
Everything you just said, plus the Skulduggery Pleasant fandom. I have only found about 10 decent fics there. And don't even get me started on Fairy Tail. I love the series to death, but would it kill the fanfic writers to at least make something halfway decent?
Reccomendations for both fandoms would be appreciated.

Not sure of the reccomendations fit your taste since everyone has different standards and tastes and that one Metroid fanfic recommend had a second opinion:
"Second opinion; cannot recommend. There's "explicit" and then there's "Samus Aran gives a blowjob to a nerdy but buff dude at a gaming convention despite finding him a little pathetic, and he can't even handle it to the point where he blurts out 'Fraggle Rock' instead of '....'" To say I am not hooked by this opening is an understatement, but my mouse cursor is crawling its way to the close button as though time has slowed to a near-stop and I will experience the few seconds it takes to get out of this window as several decades."
It has an interesting idea to what the planned premise but... seriously?! A sex scene with Fraggle rock as a organism shout is your introduction to a serious story! That and the fanfic blatantly ignores the fact that Samus lived on a high gravity world so she would not be light at all (especially since estimated that she can carry a 46 tonnes object on earth with no suit). I'm pretty sure that she'd accidently kill a sex partner by her own strength alone.
The majority of them seem to be 'OC tags along as a companion and is either a) the Doctor's long-lost daughter, b) secretly the last Time Lady, c) a Whovian sucked into his world, or d) just a "normal human" (probably with some hacking or fighting skills to make up for their otherwise normality)'. If they are options b, c, and d, expect romance.
I'm starting to understand why asexuals and aromantics think that some romance tropes are overrated but really? Is there any time that Doctor Who fanfics don't have ocs trying to get into the Doctor's trousers?
And there was also that really weird DW/HP crossover where Harry became the Dalek Emperor...
How is that possible... please don't tell me that it was the same way a human dalek was made.
The fic was very unclear.
Here is the mission, if you're curious.
And quite possibly painful as I don't see how Harry can be Emperor of the daleks.
*offers brain bleach* You're going to want this.
*Takes the offer of brain bleach* What the hell is this fanfic?! Where's the explanation to Harry or anything breaking canon? I know I broke some canon for Terry's Discworld for a crossover fanfic, most it was due to misreading information, spotty memory and not providing a good enough explanation for the breaks but I stay away from canon characters.
This fanfic looks like it doesn't even bother or regret that it has broken easily understandable canon and characters, and doesn't try to explain why it is happening.
Also, I love the mission BTW. Very well put together.
