Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?

This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Did anyone on the planet ask for an OFMD/Little Shop of Horrors crossover? No, they did not, including me, but that’s what I ended up with: [link]

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Dana, my lack of sleep is 100% because of your RNM fic "Contractual Obligations." I just finished chapter 14 (SCREAMING FOREVER), and it's after midnight and I have work tomorrow but I can't. stop. reading! It's so fucking good.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Muahahaha! I will share that with my co-author. We are, um, 40K into the sequel.

That makes me so happy, because this is one of those fics that, even though it's >100K, as I'm reading it, I keep telling myself to slow down so that I don't finish it too quickly. But knowing there's more on the horizon is excellent!

Dana! DANA. Holy shit, that was SO fucking good! (Obviously I didn't slow down; I zipped right through to the end.) I was crying with laughter at how this one line just totally sums up Kyle Valenti: "Do I know anyone who isn’t an alien?"

Yay! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. It got us through the first part of the pandemic, and I'm pretty proud of it.

Poor Kyle. grit kitty and I have long agreed that the show would have fallen apart without Kyle, who usually had custody of the brain cell. Plus, they logistically needed a doctor for so much.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Is anyone else reading Seve Harrington/Eddie Munson Stranger Things fic? Because I can't stop, and so much of it is TERRIBLE. Not really badly written or plotted, but they somehow try to insert small town homophobia and the AIDS crisis as it would be in 1986. And it is not right- like not even a little and it throws me out of the story so badly because I was literally best friends with a (now out) gay man in a small town in 1986 when we were like the ages of the kids in Stranger Things They are not getting tested. No one is telling them to "be safe". They could barely talk about it to me and I was like a less pretty, more "non-practicing bisexual (TM Prayer for Owen Meany)" Robin. Also, they keep having Steve call Eddie "Eds", which is just so British. Also, in one, Dustin was the first person to have a cell phone, but it was one of those old brick phones with the pack- in the year 2000!

But I can't stop reading, and as I said, the writing is pretty good- they are just young and why should they would have to do really deep research to get the vibe that was actually my life. And I can't stop reading.

I am not, but one of the Good Omens fanfic authors who I really like, Kedreeva, has started writing Steve/Eddie: [link] . Her stuff is probably worth checking out.

This author writes good OFMD fic and conveniently also writes good Stranger Things fic. I like this one:

Thank you! I have no idea how to get recs anymore, so I am just opening and trying to read everything. I also love OFMD, and I listen to a lot of podfic to fall asleep to. I often wake up confused about whether I am listening to Stede/Ed or Steve/Eddie.
