I know the fangirls drooling after Benedict Cumberbatch call themselves Cumberbitches. Which is damn cute.

I've seen some Supernatural fans called themselves "SuperFans."

Twilight fans are know as "Twihards" (or just "teenagers.")

Not a science fiction show, but fans of the show Cooper are known as "Copperheads"--which I thought was clever, given the historical context.

I know a few LOTR fans who call themselves "Ringers."

Did the Buffy fans ever go with "scoobies" ?

Streepers and Mirrenites rather obvious. Is there a collective noun for Dune fans? (and no, not Buggies, though that might work for Starship Troopers

).

Telephones, I would think.

Ba-dum-dum.

Peter F Hamilton fans can call themselves Starflyers.

Spice Heads.

Okay I just made that up.

I quite like that. I guess you could have 'Dibbers and Weirders as well. Damn, you could spend all night playing this game

They call themselves that all the time.

I used to think that Whedoniac was a term you'd use for a fan of Joss Whedon, and then discovered I couldn't find any references to anyone other than myself using the term.

Considering Dune is another word for desert I suggest Deserters!

I've also heard 'Whovian' used many times. Seems a bit awkward though.
