I was going to make a comment about one of the difficulties with concrit in fandom is that personal relationships exist in fandom much more so than in other genres, but actually I'm not completely sure that's true. For instance, in the last two days, I've been involved in two online discussions about published books, in each case with the author as an active participant. I 'know' those authors as well as I know some random LJ'er whose story I've read. And then if you're a 'real' critic, who gets paid to do this stuff, I bet you do actually get to know many of the people whose work you criticise.

So, I dunno. ;)
