"The New Adventures of Old Skywalker: As fan fiction gains respect, opportunities expand for the genre's writers"
The title is a bit of a cheat, frankly -- SW fanfic isn't really discussed in any depth; more time is spent discussing Dr. Who fanfic, actually. But the article is overall very positive -- though, it focuses on the idea of fanfic as a training ground for pro writers, basically. I give it points for acknowledging that not everyone who writes fanfic wants to turn pro, but the article is definitely about the increasing numbers of fanfic writers who do so, and what benefits they consider writing fanfic to have had for them.
