Seriously though, I've found that most people in fandom aren't too keen on concrit. It takes extra time and a lot of thought, for one thing, and most people are either reading on the fly or are reading because they want to zone out with something mindless. For another, there are sadly many people who react badly to concrit, including those who say they want it but then get upset when they receive it. I am very reluctant to leave it because of a few past experiences, even though I love getting it myself. I'm happy to have someone tear into my work, but I seem to be in the minority on that.
