Like everyone's been saying: just because you're interested in one portion of an author's work doesn't mean you're interested in all of it. Sometimes if I'm truly in love with an author's style I'll check out their works in genres I don't normally enjoy, but much of the time I won't. That said, there are forums and communities for people who came specifically to read original work. Use those.

It's also possible your original stuff isn't up to snuff. Not a given, but possible. If you have a friend you trust to give honest feedback you might consider asking them directly if this is the case. It might even be helpful for you. For example, there was a fan author whose work I read and loved for years who started up on original fiction. I read some of it but couldn't stomach it - she could write other people's characters brilliantly, but her own were a parade of one-dimensional BL cliches. It was awful. She broke down and demanded to know why no one was r/ring her original stories; I worked up the guts to tell her; she worked on her characterization and has dramatically improved since then.
