A Goodreads user asked Esther Spurrill Jones:

Look in Another Hope because Lucasfilm busted her, and worked with me you kept all your original copyrights nothing was given up Ever. Wookiepedia discussed Another Hope being Disney is very protective of their properties. Going to writing fan fiction and noticed for this from being published, that's a huge step backward in the evolutionary ladder you think?

Esther Spurrill Jones If I understand your question, which I am not sure I do: no, fan fiction is not any kind of step back in anything. Fan fiction has a long history. John Milton's Paradise Lost is fan fiction of the Bible. Marvel's Thor is fan fiction of Norse myths. BBC's Sherlock is fan fiction of Doyle's novels. Fan fiction that is created from a copyrighted material is under Fair Use as long as no one tries to make money from it, and I definitely don't try to make money from it.
