[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.

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 :)

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.
