I go through marathon fiction sections, so this question had me going, Hooo boy, was it this comm, or that rec list, or one of my old saved links? Fortunately, you replied to another of my comments and that totally solved the question. Unfortunately, I don't think the answer will help. I found your DA crossover fic on sn_crossovers. Seeing as how it was so fantastic, I decided to sift through your journal for other fic. I don't remember if I used tags or memories or just hunted which leads to my first suggestion.
Make sure that all your fic is easily found on your journal, through tags or memories or a post that you update to hold all your fics. You can even put a standard note in all fic posts that other fic can be found [here]. As a reader, I like those authors best. That way we find them all if we like the first one. I hate having to hunt through comms for parts of a story and usually just give up. I also don't enjoy sifting through an entire journal, so the easier it is, the more attention you should get.
I'm pretty new myself, getting up the guts to post my first, so I'm not sure how much help I can be, but the comms I know that seem to have high activity are: sn_fic, sn_gen. There's also dean_sam, but I haven't explored that one at all, so I don't know what their focus is. Other than SamandDean, of course. :) My other suggestion is not to worry too much about spamming.
Hope that's not way more than you wanted. I tend to do that.
