The short answer is yes, but particularly if someone is looking for it!
In this thread's example, if someone is looking for "questionable romance slash erotica stories", yours would also come up in a search. Should it come up in a list of 30 other stories, a casual reader's eye might pass over yours easily. Things written by those of the Far Shore are as easily passed over as the people themselves, unless they stand out somehow, or the reader happens to be perceptive to the Far Shore. (So you might want to go for a super-snappy title.)
However should someone read it, love it, and share the link, your story can become popular through word of mouth! And casual readers will be able to find it more easily if it stands out by having a lot of 'likes', for example.
