For writers: Have you posted your stories about yourselves and your SOs? If so, what have been your experiences with other fans? (Vent)

For now, in the case of the fanfic I'm writing about Junko and me, it's been relatively well received (I've even seen a reader in a post on the subject), although I have read some comments written by JunAi shippers that, well, aren't the best in the world, but they're not bad either...

...On the other hand... With the one about Chisa and me, I've had more... mixed comments. I haven't post anything yet, but I have shared a few sneak peeks. Some people have told me it's cool (not in the sense that they're going to read it, but that they reactes to it like "cool"), but one day, I posted a screenshot of the story synopsis on the Grand Blue subreddit, and it made me want to not post anything else there. I saw people who heavily disliked the idea of the story (aka the romance), and that really puts me off, plus the fact that she has a crush in the canon, and, in general (and from what I understand), the community doesn't usually like OCs/self inserts. And that's why I'm kind of embarrassed to post it. I mean, I WANT to post it, but I'm afraid to think about the possible toxicity I might receive.

I know this doesn't have much to do with my ficto side, but since it has to do with the stories I'm writing about my partners and me, I thought it would be okay to post it here.
