Your stories are not lame. : )
Just make it so unique that it will stand out among the rest!
I have read your story and it's very nice and interesting. : )
The reads, votes, and comments will come very slow (Believe me. I've been here for a year and I haven't got a thousand reads or a hundred votes.). But, if you're patient and passionate enough, you'll get there. : )
If this is only your hobby, then this will be a very good hobby for you. : )
