I'm sorry to hear what your going through. My boyfriend is going through something similar and is not sure what to do. Managing mental health is difficult when we are asked not to see each other face to face due to something out of our control. The art scene on the internet is becoming more difficult to be a part of and more sites are sanitizing content ( tumblr being an example of this).
I remember it being easier to find a niche group and be happy with just that. But that's not as easy anymore and the current social media options are giant and don't value interaction as much as older ones or at least the way it's done feels less personal. I love the idea of art as being therapeutic and hope it can be a tool for you when you need it to be.
I hope your fanfiction is a fun project and hope you can do it for your fun. Get what you want out there. It's always good to see artists doing what they like to do, it's more fun to see variety. Take what I say with a grain of salt, I'm no expert of anything, but have felt that hesitation of expression for fear of rejection and not belonging. If you decide to migrate to a different platform, I'll be sure to follow you there as I enjoy what you create. I hope your creations bring you joy and help make you feel less alone.

thank you for the feedback. Pretty much today my point about NG was made as a new user decided to deliberately down vote my art because they didn't like it (or were too young to be seeing porn). You just gotta roll your eyes about that stuff, but the younger people just aren't as receptive to the things that older generations established for them.
I am just making sure I do things that I enjoy for myself 1st and foremost and I'm always thankful people are understanding of that. I don't create things with the intent to do major harm to anyone or attack people. I just create things that make me happy and I'm always glad that others are happy for that variety.
Take care of yourself as well.
