Having read some stuff by fanfic authors who've tried to make the jump, the thing they fall down on is worldbuilding and consistent characterization, because they're too used to the shortcut of someone else having done the heavy lifting on the WB and the fans all kind of knowing how the canon characters act and behave already.

Yeah. When people try to argue that writing fanfiction is great practice for writing original fiction, I think they fail to grasp that well, only up until a point. Fanfiction doesn't tend to develop peoples' skills at creating and developing characters, and it rarely develops peoples' world building skills... those are kind of important in original writing. I'd also argue that most fanfiction doesn't really help you practice coming up with a decent plot, either.

It really depends. Fanfiction can develop characterization skills, if the author is writing about canon underdeveloped characters to give them depth, and it can hone world-building skills, to make crack tropes plausible or figure out how they would change the setting.
