ABSTRACT
Fan works not only affirm television texts, but can serve to rewrite them and transform them. This chapter discusses the critical potential of fan fiction and geek feminism by closely analyzing Glee fan fiction. Through the concept of intermediality, the author analyzes three fan works and their relations to the original Glee. I show how these fan authors create innovative representations of gender and sexuality, and how this creates a vital platform where audiences interpret fiction and construct new narratives. The close reading of fan fiction relies on literary studies on narrative closure and queer structures, but also accounts for the medium-specific contexts in which this online fiction is published.
