Erm.. that's the one thing it isn't practice in by definition. The whole point about fanfic is you're writing in an already established world. It allows you to write stories whilst skipping two of the most difficult parts - world-building and creating compelling characters.

Now if you'd said it's a good way to learn dialogue and plotting then I'd agree.
