Winter's Knight Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I've never heard it that way. Either from "fans" or "people of Star Trek" I have always heard them referred to as Trekkies.I think Trekkies refers to people who were fans from the very beginning while Trekkers joined up later?

Marjie Eilie Myatt Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I like Martinis or Martinets, but I have not read his other works. I bought my daughter the Ice Dragon before I even heard of these ASOIAF, but never read it myself. She said it was sad. Makes sense now. It contains both beauty and tragedy, as one reviewer put it; plus winter!I've never been a fan of science fiction either (except Dune), so I haven't read GRRM's other stuff.

Prince of Dragonstone Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 "Throners" or "Thronies" seem to be the best so far.Also "Daario Haters" could suffice considering every single last ASoIaF fan universally loathes this man. It's one of the only unifying things I think ALL of the books fans can agree upon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillio Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 we also was the BwB.....techinally I believe all followers of Song of Ice and Fire and the tv show game of Thrones should be a part of the Brotherhood without Banners...http://asoiaf.wester...ithout-banners/Not to rain on this parade or anything, but the organised part if the fandom has been known as the Brotherhood without Banners for almost ten years.I suppose you could call the online fandom something else, but at Cons, Rl meetups and stuff, we are the BWB. :)That's also why there is a "Brotherhood without Banners" section on this very forum: it deals with fandom stuff. Have a look and check if something is going on in your area.Link here to the Brotherhood without Banners info.thats once on every page!!!Maybe we're the brotherhood without banners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gypsy Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 "Ringheads" ?????? I've been a part of that fandom for 12 years and have never heard that term - ever. It's "Ringers". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckwheat Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 LOL. They are actually called "Twihards", I think.At first I thought you wrote "twinhards". And I asked myself, wait, when did Jaime and Cersei move into another book?"Fangaryens"Shouldn't we be Players?I like those two.But I guess the BWB is the best.

Xray the Enforcer Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Not to rain on this parade or anything, but the organised part if the fandom has been known as the Brotherhood without Banners for almost ten years.I suppose you could call the online fandom something else, but at Cons, Rl meetups and stuff, we are the BWB. :)That's also why there is a "Brotherhood without Banners" section on this very forum: it deals with fandom stuff. Have a look and check if something is going on in your area.Link here to the Brotherhood without Banners info.I believe it has been more than 10 years at this point, Lyanna. First official meetup was at PhilCon in 2001, and the name was coined shortly afterwards. :)Those of you who are curious about the organized fandom, come meet us in Chicago this year. Should be a good time. Details are in the linked subforum under ChiCon or Chicago WorldCon. If you decide to come, please post in this thread so we can get an accurate headcount. If you can't make Chicago this year, there's San Antonio next year, followed by what will likely be London (but that will be decided at this WC).

Xray the Enforcer Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I should add that Yagathai (a member of the BwB since the beginning and a Knight of the Cheesesteak) has been calling fans of the TV show "Thronies" for awhile. I don't have a problem with that, because the TV fans and the book fans are distinct groups, and the TV series has "Throne" in the title, unlike the book series. The BwB is primarily a fangroup for those who have already read the books (or are interested in reading the books -- almost everyone in the book forums), and who want to drink bizarre delicious cocktails with GRRM and Parris at parties.

Prince of Dragonstone Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 "Brotherhood without Banners" is the kind of name that we would like to be called but "Thronies" is the name that everyone else will probably call us lol.Kinda like how Trekkies prefer to be called Trekkors yet everyone still just calls them Trekkies.

Reddannihilation Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 The LOTR/HOBBIT are "Ring Heads"The Harry Potter folks are "Hogwartians."Star Trek fans are "Trekkors"Star Wars fans are "Force Freaks"What do you call a fan of Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire? Thronies? Martinites? What is our name?I've been a fan of all of those series for a while and have never heard any of these names. Especially Force Freaks, I have never known a Star Wars fan who called themselves that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Justin Scummy Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I hadnt relixed that the Brotherhood without Banners has been around that long..but I see what Xray was saying....those who came into fandom from the books are BwB while the ones who came to fandom from the show are Thronies....makes sense too me...:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
