I once posted on a kink meme, in a humongous fandom I had been only lurking in, and my fic got a lot of attention. It helped that I was filling a prompt that had been posted over and over with no takers but the fact is a)I was anonymous, b) I was a newbie, c) I wasn't that talkative even while posting. I just posted the chapters, thanked the commenters and gave references. Still people were very nice and attentive and some even asked me to claim the fic in the end (which I didn't, out of embarrassment of my empty journal.) Maybe you should post more chapters, polish your fics more, show more dedication to your craft to stand out.

...except sometimes that isn't enough.
If OP's fandom experience isn't universal, your isn't, either. I've often done the exact same things you described with little to no attention, even for popular pairings and tropes within a kinkmeme. Some fandoms are nicer to newbies and introverts than others.
