[Poll #880865]

(Inspired by a post on supernatural_tv. I'm a fan of Roadies, myself. Not because I coined it or anything.)

ETA: If you say something else, I'd love to know what! No copping out with a "None of the above" :P

Sorry, I'm one of those voting for neither, but I don't have a constructive suggestion to offer. I just don't like either of those idea at all. "Roadies" doesn't make me think of SPN at all, and "Hunters" is just weird to me - why would the fans be Hunters? I don't see either as a name I would be happy to associate with fandom.

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Well, that is why I'm asking the question - there doesn't seem to be a good answer. I think those are fun options (we follow the boys on the road! *shrugs*) but I dunno. I just feel like the BEST FANDOM EVER should have a specific member name :)

[sorchasilver.livejournal.com]

I agree that there isn't a really good answer to this. I have to say, I don't find either of those suggestions particularly meaningful or amusing. "Roadies" has a lot of connotations to me, but none I want to associate with SPN. And "Hunters" seems a bit... pretentious, maybe? That's a bit strong, I suppose, but I just feel that if the characters in the show are called Hunters, the fans shouldn't adopt that name. "Browncoat" was different, it was something from the past in Firefly. Personally, I wouldn't like to be referred to as a Roadie or a Hunter.

Anyway, I think these sort of thing have to emerge naturally, and can't be forced. If nothing has developed for the SPN fandom so far, maybe there's a good reason for that.

Am I taking this too seriously? Blame it on the wet weather here in Scotland, 'kay? I'm a bit low today.

Personally, I like either Winners or Chesters. =D

[hopelessfangirl.livejournal.com]

Or Impalers (Impalars?)! HAH. I should repost these in the supernatural_tv post.

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Hahahahaha. That's hilarious.

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, I can't say I'm really on board with those. But your ICON!!! YES!

[hopelessfangirl.livejournal.com]

LOL why thank you! It's true, is it not? ;)

OH NOES *lol* T_T

I dont like Roadies it sounds ... weird. Hunters would be okay, if there's nothing else, but I'm not really happe with either.

It's hard to find a term equal to Browncoats. Because there's so much more to being a Browncoat than it just being a random term from the fandom. There's a real idea behind the name. I hope I'm making sense here *lol*

I'm not fond of either of those either

Spanners as opposed to SPNers.

Or we could be the Happy Horrors or Hellraisers

[marishna.livejournal.com]

I don't like either. Whenever I refer to the fandom, at least in my head, I call them SPNers but it sounds like spinners. Like Kwaffers. But then, I don't really see why we NEED a name.

[ckll.livejournal.com]

Definitely something else!!

[nebulein.livejournal.com]

zomg where is that pic in your icon from?

[ckll.livejournal.com]

Lol!Everybody asks about it.I have posted it few days ago in dean_sam

I am totally voting Wincestees. :P

It covers 90% of the fandom, anyways.

I would love a "name" for us, because that just gets my t-shirt making muse perk up and smile broadly. Unfortunately, I can't think of much. But I'll try.

"Roadies" gives off that sleazy Tom Hanks vibe from the SNL episode where Aerosmith guest-starred on the "Wayne's World" sketch. And not the good kind of sleazy vibe. Like a sleazy Dean or Sam vibe. Mmm...sleazy!Dean and/or sleazy!Sam...*drool*. Where was I? Oh, yeah. But y'know what I mean? Bueller? Maybe I'm the only one who's seen that sketch.

I also agree that "Hunters" is kind of strange because we're the fans of the hunters.

However, because I don't have much to offer, I must say that they are fair tries. Let's see if I've got anything in me, though...

I want to make a reference to "Salt 'n' Burn", but...the only thing I could come up with was "Burners" which reminds me too much of "The Breakfast Club" in that Claire describes Bender as one...

Hm. Very puzzling.

[torturedwriter7.livejournal.com]

Wow, please excuse the awful grammar....

[impertinence.livejournal.com]

We are SPNers. :D

[immoralilly.livejournal.com]

Aren't we Wincesters?

No, wait, that's just the special crew. *likes being in the special crew*

[vanya-elda.livejournal.com]

Coltists? Brotherhood? Spookbusters?

Yeah, I've got nothing.

[vanya-elda.livejournal.com]

Or if we want theme song potential, we could always shoot for 'Superfreaks'! *snort*
