I haven't friended this journal, though I check it regularly to see if there is more Aphanes to be read.
It's true what you say about fanfic having a built-in familiarity that will draw readers. I wouldn't make that a reason not to post original fic. Even if only a few people read it and appreciate it, that is certainly better than not giving those people the positive experience and you the experience of having readers.
The Aphanes is practically original fic! I've never read an X-fic where the main character was an OC and I love it. Does your original writing ever contain SF elements? You balance the hardcore real world with the fantastic elements very believably.
I will friend this journal so I don't miss anything from this half of your life!
