ABSTRACT
This chapter stages fanfiction as a viable critical methodology through which to stage, re-stage and write about art and performance. Structured as a fanfiction in two parts: the first, a fan’s remembering and speculation of a rather underwhelming performance by Yoko Ono; the second, an examination of the various tropes that relate critical writing and fanfiction including affective, romantic and performative modes of re-writing and fictioning. As a minor literature created by women, queers and people of colour, fanfiction and performance art become synonymous modes through which to think and write about performance, and question the authority of the archive.
