Remember, too, that some readers just aren't interested in or comfortable with giving criticism. Giving people criticism can be intimidating and take practice, and sometimes you just don't want to read a fic with a critical eye. If there are noticeable issues, okay, those can be easy to bring up. But when there are no glaring issues, it can be hard to think of what could make the writing stronger, and you're also getting into very subjective territory.

But definitely mention that you're open to concrit, and you may get some good responses. Also, even if people don't give you concrit in their comments, sometimes you can still get useful feedback from them. But ultimately, you're probably best off not only trying to find a beta but, perhaps most importantly, paying attention to the fics you like and what you think they do well.

I wish fandom critique communities seemed to work better. It seems like the ones I've been a part of or have thought about being a part of haven't lasted long. There are definitely people open to giving and receiving concrit, but for some reason critique communities don't seem to work for fic as well as they do for original fiction. If I had to guess, I'd say it's because a lot of people may not be willing to critique fics that they wouldn't normally read.
