It's helpful because it's writing for an audience. Writing in a workshop/circle is good for refining technique.

On a scale of 1 to 10, its helpfulness is about... 3? 4 on a good day? Fandom audiences aren't mainstream audiences, and while there's some overlap on audience expectations, there's also a lot that isn't shared. You cannot really expect all your experience in writing for a fandom audience to transfer over to a non fandom audience.

Well sure, but writing fanfic isn't the same as being in a writing workshop. The audience is far less critical, for starters, and while the point of a workshop is to offer and receive constructive criticism, that's not the main point of fanfic or fandom at all.

It's writing for an audience who already knows how these characters behave and what their general motivations are.

An original fiction writer has to be able to flesh these characters/motivations out to people who aren't privy to the characters.

I'm not saying fanfic is bad at all, but they're completely different mediums.
