I think a lot depends on the genre and how popular it is with teenagers especially. I've see some dire Aragorn and Legolas get tortured by Orcs epics with masses of reviews,whereas anything more original gets ignored. I've a friend who is very gifted and a super writer, but she only gets a handful of reviews,because I think, she writes stories mostly about OCS.
I think fanfic readers tend to like stories that stick to set formulas and if your story isn't one of those,it will most likely be overlooked even if of very high quality.
