For me I wouldn't say everything IRL is a no go for fandom conversation (afterall there are things like conventions and clubs for these things) but there ARE certain places and situations where I find bringing fandom in inappropriate.

But I also think there's a difference between fandom and just talking about a thing you enjoy. Like there's a difference between asking someone if they saw the latest episode of Sherlock and asking them to read your 300 page fic .

Op's example could be slightly embarrassing, like bringing in fic to a group where you know everyone is cool with it is one thing, but bringing it to a group where we know at least one person finds it weird is another.

I dunno, (so long as it isn't smut) a writing group seems like the right place to ask for advice about or bring up a fic, which is a piece of writing.

If I really wanted their feedback on a peice I'd ask somebody in a writing group (maybe not show everyone but just ask if one person was interested and willing to help), and I really wouldn't give a shit if ONE person thought I was weird and embarrassing for it. That's their own problem.

I mean it would be one thing to out the person who was trying to hide it or didn't feel comfortable admitting to it. But to just ask for yourself or your own fic? Yeah, I'm not going to let their feelings of shame about fandom dictate my choices.

If they have a problem with me, they can just get the fuck over themselves. Of course this is under the assumption that the person bringing it up in a writing group actually genuinely wants help and they don't just want to ramble about their fic and take up the group's time.

Wouldn't it be an issue to bring it to a writing group when you don't know if people like said fandom though?

That's the one thing I can think of outside of someone being embarrassed about it, it's one thing to bring a fic to people you KNOW are in the fandom but how is someone supposed to critique something when they don't even know what they're critiquing?

Bringing it up to one person would not really be the same to me as bringing it to the whole group either, because it wouldn't interrupt the group that way.
