The thing is, fandom is more that AO3/tumblr/LJ/DW and others sites can be very different, since some fandom spaces (specially AO3) are pretty much dominated by the cult of nice.

In most other places, concrit is maybe not encouraged, but somehow expected and even the people who dislike getting it don't make a big deal of it.
In some others, concrit is extremely encouraged (I have been in some forums that have rules about members only allowed to comment on fics if they leave concrit).

And you don't think that forums like that are the exception?

Fandom may be more than AO3/tumblr/LJ/DW in your eyes, but it's naive to ignore the fact that those places still represent the vast majority of it. You may not like it, but numbers don't lie. Smaller archives, members-only forums and sites, those things aren't even on the radar for the majority of fanwork creators today. Newer fans don't even remember personal fansites or fanlistings. That isn't the culture most fanworks are being created in today.

So yes, yours are the "specific fandom circles" in this discussion.

Not really, because some sites I frequent don't know about AO3 (and some do and don't care).

AO3 et all are big and yet are at the same times more insular than most people notice. This is specially true when it comes to fandoms that aren't (American) tv and movies.

(And just for the record I'm talking only about English speaking fandom, though if we talk about fandom in other languages the culture[and sites] vary even more)

You're entitled to not care, but its disingenuous to deny the impact it has. Forgive me, but you sound as though you're very insular in your fannish activities and don't care to see past the small circles you inhabit.

I agree that AO3 certainly used to have a very Western bent, but that's changed dramatically over the past few years. Every fic in every anime fandom I'm in these days goes back to AO3 or Tumblr. TV shows and movies have been there for a long time. On the occasions where I do see foreign-language fics, then their links go back to AO3 or FFnet too.

I haven't seen a link to a fic on a private site or on an archive that isn't FFnet or AO3 in years. I very rarely see links to LJ or DW anymore. I'm sure these places exist, but my point is that they're far from the province of the majority of fanwork creators. So those creators are going to be operating within the tacit rules of the circles they're in, which for you is one thing, but for the majority of others is something else.

Of course, I'm the insular one for frequenting many different fandom spaces, some that aren't connected to each other at all.

Please share some of these sites and forums for the writers who seek concrit.

And also to see how many people besides you have actually heard of them.

What you describe sound more like private writing groups, where of course the rules around concrit and what kind of feedback is desired/acceptable are different (and usually aren't tacit; my old writing group, now defunct, had the rules of posting feedback as the very first thing you saw.)
