When giving concrit to fanfic authors I think it important to remember that a significant proportion of badly written fanfic is written by kids in their early teens. Not an age where it is easy to untangle criticism of one's work from criticism of one's self.
And to make matters worse, these teens often frequent social media sites where they are (inadvertently?) encouraged to become even more sensitive to perceived offense.
In my experience a positive review that points out a few *specific* typos is generally not taken badly and often leads to corrections, whereas a general complaint that the story is unreadable due to excessive errors will generally be taken badly.
