Hi
Star trek fans called Trekkie & Stargate fans - Gaters

Firefly fans are Browncoats.

Babylon 5 fans are "People of Infinite Discretion and Taste" (old joke, sorry) or sometimes 'Fivers'.

Whovians is a term used for Doctor Who Fans.
MSTies (pronounced MIS-teez) used by some fans of Mystery Science Theater 3000...

Farscape are 'Scapers

Not sure I recall ever hearing a nickname for BSG Fans? I suppose Capricans or Galacticans would probably work, but, I don't think I've heard them used

 

[Forbin]

Wait, I though B5 fans were "Lurkers."

Enterprise and Voyager fans are "Idiots."

(I KID!!! I KID!!!! )

 

[B.J.]

I've seen "Frakheads" used for BSG fans, and not in a disparaging way.

 

[Silvercrest]

I've seen Star Wars fans called "Warsies" on this board. Which is the stupidest nickname ever, but it is out there.

There are the Ronulans and there is a book called Rise of the Vulcans about the Bush administration.

I've seen them called "Warheads", but that might have just been one guy's idea.

 

[Drago-Kazov]

Sounds like a band to me.

One old school one that springs to mind...Leapers. Quantum Leap fans.

Lurker was adopted to name those who only read BBSes, but, don't post

 

[Pingfah]

I don't think I like anything enough to want to add an "er" to the end of the name and call myself one.

As someone old enough to remember when the" Trekker"/"Trekkie" debate was fresh, call me anything but late for dinner, I don't care...

I wouldn't call most LotR fans "Hobbits", though. Calling someone a Hobbit on the internet seems to generally be meant as an insult

 

[Candlelight]

Dwarfers.
"Boys from the Dwarf"
Skutters

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

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

 

[auntiehill]

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."

 

[Kemaiku]

Did the Buffy fans ever go with "scoobies" ?

 

[lurok]

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