Not true. Current overall fandom etiquette is "positive feedback only," I promise. Yeah, in some circles, concrit may be welcome, but the current trend really is positive feedback over concrit or negative feedback. You leave kudos or you don't, you leave a positive comment if you really liked the fic. You don't nitpick grammar or concrit unless asked. Older fic writers might still ascribe to the "concrit welcome" rule that used to be more ubiquitous, but times have changed.

I really, honestly believe there is no such thing as "overall" fandom ANYthing.

(Anonymous) 2015-03-11 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
There really, really isn't.

That's just not true. I get criticized for my choice of pairings (e.g., let me tell you about the persistent Fraser/RayV troll out there), for things I've explicitly warned against in the summary. I get the loopiest comments and backhanded compliments/complaints from "regular" fans who feel free to say whatever they want.

When it comes to fanfic, there is no protective wall between the author and the fan. That's just the way it is.

I get weird comments all the time too, but that doesn't mean there is still not a trend toward positive commenting and kudos only, especially in the big Tumblr fandoms (Superwholock, HP, MCU, LOTR, etc.).

No, it's not.

Fandom as a whole is extremely big and just because the places you hang around are like that doesn't mean there aren't many other places where thing are different.

Well, I guess I'm officially old now. I liked getting concrit, back in the good old days... but yes, admittedly, I don't get much now. Especially since even some writers who claim they want concrit throw a fit if they get it. This is why we can't have nice things.

I do like concrit too, but yeah, it's not as popular to offer now, especially with the ease of the kudos and like system. The only time I get concrit now is if I ask a beta to specifically crit some thing.
