HDM is a universe fundamentally amenable to human reason and humanism, while Night Vale is fundamentally not.
Anyway now I'm out of fanfic to read. There's always more fanfic, of course, but it's hard to find curated fanfic, ie the good stuff. When you're talking about an art form with a very low barrier to entry, there's going to be a lot of haystack and not many needles.
Does anyone have any good recommendations?

Tsar, I wish I could assist you. I don't read fanfic. However, I am reading all of Bret Easton Ellis' novels right now. Lots of sex, drugs, and 80s in those books

This article can help you out.
If tl;dr, let me grab a quote:"The fundamental objective of fanfic, especially when it is written by women, queer and genderqueer people, and people of color, is to insert yourself, aggressively and brazenly, into stories that are not about and were never intended to be about or represent you."

I preffer the one's written by lonely perverts. The ones that write their favorite character into sexual situations. Situations that reveal aspects of the fanfic writter's flawed psyche.

To be fair, all of fanfiction could be argued as revealing some sentiment of one's psyche... as does all fiction in general, except with the additional point of how it relates to the original text.
