If we blindly follow, we are Unsullied.

LOL. They are actually called "Twihards", I think.

Geez, all this time I thought they were called "Twihearts".

Twihard...sounds like a boner

"A Game of Thrones Fan always pays their debts" or  "The Night is Dark and full of Readers"



(Er, might be too long)


"Hodorists"


"Martinies" (Not only with the Martin reference, but I think many of us need the liqour on the side when it comes to this series, har har)


"Fangaryens"


"Night Watchers"


"Faceless Fans" (Wait....that might not sound right)


Or just simply "Crows" or "Wolves"





You know though, I wouldn't mind if we never get a name. Now almost every fandom has names, from movies to singers (Hooligans for Bruno Mards, Little Monsters for Gaga, Beliebers Justin Beiber) - it is sort of getting a bit overdone.


Being nameless might make us more special.

LOL! We are waiting for him to finish this series very patiently . . and he is doing very little writing with all his public speeches, tours and show work.

I guess we are his Khalasar!

Yes ! hopefully it sticks

[James Arryn]

If I were offering a real suggestion, though, I think Martinets pretty much covers it.

To me it sounds like we are fans of the florida marlins

I think BwB is what will end up sticking as a community even if it's not a term intended for the whole community

[Maester Sarella]

Grrmlins. Duh.

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?

The Twilight people are indeed called Twihards, and for better or worse, various publications have referred to us as Throners.

[Winter's Knight]

Shouldn't we be Players?

[Apple Martini]

I'm fine with Throners. Most of the other names put forward seem to be in favor one in particular house, which isn't fair to people who might not like that house. Throners is all-encompassing, plus it rhymes with "boners." You. Cannot. Go. Wrong.

[Howling Mad]

GRRMer's

ETA "GRRM Readers"

"NOoooArrrghhh!!!s"

referring to the sound a reader makes when a character angers them or does something stupid.
It can't be "D*****t Dany". That is too tailored to me.

Throners. You heard it here first people!

*edit* Damn it, Apple beat me to it. But it rhymes with boners! Yep, I'm proud to be a Throner.

In the movie "Fan Boys" it explains the term "Trekkie" is a negative term the proper name is "Trekker."  

I've never heard it that way. Either from "fans" or "people of Star Trek" I have always heard them referred to as Trekkies.

[Lyanna Stark]

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.
