Hello TDKMC1. Your qualm is something which many writers here seem to face at some time or another. To relate a personal experience, I've posted quite a bit on here so far (blog posts, stories, etc.), and they've received minimal attention even though quite a few times I had asked people to read them. But I've learned that there are (at least) two things to remember when you want your stories to get read and it's not exactly easy: that you're not being importunate/shameless in recommending them to others (something of which I can be guilty XD), and that, as you said, you're immensely proud of your work and truly think it deserves some attention. So, try to really perfect your stories' grammar, and add anything that you think will increase the reader's interest in the story, as well as have just the right blend of exposition and vagueness, so that the reader won't be baffled and want to stop reading, but that they'll be confused and want to read on to see if they can find anything out. Also, as Mr.Zalgopasta said, broaden your horizons! There are many other places on the Internet where you could post your story, and they'd appreciate some high-quality original content. Don't worry, you could very well find your niche soon, and maybe even gain a following. In the meantime, best of luck.
