...did I get fans for Spirit of Fire to keep reading past the first couple of chapters?

Seriously.

The writing sucks. I've been doing a little proofreading before uploading chapters to Dejana's archive, and I'm just amazed that people actually decided to keep reading after getting through Ch. 1. Personally, if I had come across that fic as a reader, I probably would have stopped reading right after the first scene with Saburo, Takara, and Miyuki. (The prologue doesn't count because that was written later, when my writing for the story had improved.)

Oh, well. I guess people liked the idea well enough that they were willing to trudge through it.

At least the later chapters are somewhat better written. ^_^

I ask myself the same question on a lot of my stuff, honestly, except that I have to turn it backwards for some stories: "Why are people still reading this? It's terrible!" Trust me, though, I know the feeling. I just wrote a piece of garbage this very evening. -_-
