The name for the Narnia Fandom

[Sven-El]

So Star Trek fans are called Trekkies, Lord of the Rings fans are called Ringnuts or Tolkienaphiles, fans of the DC comics ( Superman, Batman) charcters are called "Johnny DC" and Marvel Fans ( Spider-Man, X-Men, Hulk, Iron Man) are called "Marvel Zombies", so what is the collective name for us die-hard Narnia Fans? Do we even have one? Do we need one? For that matter do we want one?

Narniacs???

 

[The Spanish Inquisition]

Narniacs???

Seconded. I like it!

 

[waterhogboy]

Duffers. End of...

 

[BarbarianKing]

I thought we were Narniacs... but for sure we must at least be Duffers!!

 

[Aravis Kenobi]

Never really thought about it...but Duffers is the best.

 

[inkspot]

Duffers is too generic. I go for Narniacs. Plus many of us Narniacs aren't Duffers. At least not too much of Duffers ...

Being a die-hard Narnia Fan does NOT make you a Duffer, so I vote for Narniacs.

 

[EveningStar]

I'd have to be a Narniac rather than a duffer. My feet come in pairs.

 

[PrinceOfTheWest]

Gee, I never thought of that one explicitly. I've always described myself a "Narnian", but that's not really consistent, since I've never been there and am certainly not a citizen. But "Narniac" sounds a little - well, extreme. In Last Battle, during Tirian's vision, the High King referred to himself and his colleagues as "friends of Narnia" - would that do?

If we get to 1000 posts or more here on TDL we are already "Friends of Narnia".

Narniac has that obesessive ring to it ... I like it.

 

[CaspianGirl]

How about Narnianites or Narnites? You know like those fan cast threads?

 

[Miss.SunFlower]

I've always called myself a narnianite.

Ooooh, it would be funny if we became "Narniacs" once we reached 10,000 posts....

I'll suggest it to Specter.

NarniaKnights would be good, too.
(Like Narnianites, only, like Knights, too.)

I think that would be the best one. Either that or Duffer.

When I looked at "Narniacs" I immediately thought "Maniacs," so... I'd go with something else. Sort of like the "Oneders" where everyone thought it was pro. "Oh-need-ers," when it was really the "Wonders."

I'm with inky on this one. NarniaKnights sounds pretty cool!

 

[ndfan1993]

LOL. Narniacs sounds slightly obsessed (YAY) yet clearly shows what the person is obsessed with - NarniaKnights is creative yet practical, and completely cool.
I'd go with... both LOL. Or either one for that matter, they both sound so cool. Although I've been calling myself a duffer(or a narnian) - I never go to that board .

But we are maniacs.... Narnia Maniacs.
