They never said that good fanfic can't be as good as published fiction, I don't see where you're getting that.

I agree with them in the sense that writing your *typical* fanfiction is not good practice for writing what used to be traditional published work. Writing fanfiction *can* be good practice, but you have to go out of your way to write it in the style of traditional published fiction, and it is really very true that most people do not bother to do that. Which is fine for them to not do, but tropey PWP smut fics do not traditional novels make.

In the same vein, drawing anime fanart *can* be good practice for drawing published comics. But saying "anime fanart is good practice for drawing published comics (in general)" I would say is not true.

I don't mean to nitpick, but... There are literally fanartists who got picked up by major comics to draw based on their fanart. Fanart is commonly used in professional art portfolios when interviewing in the comics and gaming industry.

Like, a bunch of dudes on the Transformers staff used to be BNFs, and it fucking shows, because now their OCs are canon. Traditional publishing *has* changed, and the downtick in quality isn't the fault of fanfiction. If you want to lay blame somewhere, stick it at the feet of self-publishing, which encourages people to go to the presses waaaay before they're actually ready to go pro.
