hey, word from the old and wise, you did good. There's nothing to fear about on this board except the IRC, which can and often will lead to drama. Next time you get back on, create a thread on quest-dis and put a link to it when you start a new chapter. Discussion threads are where all the out-of-character discussion and questions to the author go.
On another note by managing to pump out 10 quality images with believable personality in the span of two hours, you have already placed yourself in the top bunch of quest artists on this board. As long as your story pans out well and you don't panic over unexpected player choices, you'll get a strong participation and following in no time, as long as people fin your quest while you are here.
And one more thing: tgchan is SLOW, as it can take days or weeks for some well liked quests to update, and so the posters also only visit on an uncommon basis. Do yourself a favor and put a little more space between each quest update so that more people have a chance to get on, see the quest, read up, decide they like it and participate.
And one MORE thing: you can get some attention by posting stuff in the fanart threads or joining in on the random paint-chat scribble sessions. Don't be shy about drawing what your mother might call pornography, as far as we're concerned it's not pornographic unless it was drawn with an intent to be masturbated to. Otherwise, it's best to always add lots of personality and odd angles to those risque scenes to add 'cover' and distract from the tits n' ass. You can also start a thread on the /draw/ board, which has absolutely no restrictions on what you post,provided you don't post your own material in other people's draw threads unless it's some sort of fan-art, which should go in the fan-art threads. The draw-thread will also work wonders as an online back-up archive since the upload limit is insanely huge on this board.
ONE LAST THING: ALWAYS LET US KNOW IF YOU ARE GOING ON HIATUS, LEAVING FOREVER, OR JUST ON VACATION. Nothing kills a quest faster than a quest that never updates, and nothing makes a author more disliked than to dissapear without explanation. And feel free to take part in other quests and discussion threads, it will help you get a feel for the community, and as to what is and what is not considered good quest practice, much of which I've already covered.
DAMMIT ONE LAST THING I FORGOT: Unlike our original home on the 4cahn imageboard, we are not anonymous here, exactly. All posters have a unique ID number assigned to their IP address, which you can see next to the post number or above the filename of a post. Use these to watch out for one or two individual posters attempting to trick you with false votes towards one action or another. This is called 'samefagging' a coarse term that came with us when we migrated, and it is considered an abominable thing to do with the intention of deception or annoyance, otherwise it's cool for any other purposes, like multiple posts of information, or when adding on to a sugestion you made in a quest to clarify something you forgot to add, things like that.
Otherwise, enjoy your stay, try not to get creeped out, and avoid over thinking things or volunteering information about your IRL self as much as possible; this ain't livejournal, and we like to keep it that way.
Fucking hell forgot something even more basic and important: read the FAQ linked onthe front page for how to use the site. We also have an archiver for every quest thread, completed ones get put in the Archive, incompleted ones eventualy get dumped into the Graveyard, and all of them and their authors are listed on the tgchan wiki, which is also linked on the front page. I urge you to check these out and learn our history of storytelling for your own enjoyment and inspiration for improvement. That should be everything.
