Corki - Member Share Posted March 21, 2006 This was brought up on the temporary DM boards, and I thought I would resurrect the discussion. Certain parts of fantasy have words to describe their fans. The one that springs to my mind is Star Trek and Trekkies. But what are fans of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series called? I am going to use the two popular names used from the temp. board discussion, which was WoTers and Jordanites. So, the question is, are we WoTers (which I believe we are) or Jordanites? Or something else? I will be setting a poll up with three options. 1. WoTers 2. Jordanites 3. Other (please specify when you post) And of course, being part of DM, we are DMers! No debate is needed for that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alys Kinch - Member Share Posted March 21, 2006 gotta be woters. that is what jordan refered to us as, right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JenniferL - Administrator Administrator Share Posted March 21, 2006 Jordanite is easier to say, but I believe WoTer is more descriptive. More of us are fans of WoT than of Jordan. I mean, we've all read WoT, but how many have read his Conan or Fallon series? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Egwene - Guests Share Posted March 21, 2006 I know it's in use elsewhere, but I think DM wotmaniacs describes us to a T. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keige - Member Share Posted March 22, 2006 WoTers, but how do you pronounce that? Whoa-ters? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Corki - Member Author Share Posted March 22, 2006 I pronounce it "What-ters". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marak - Member Share Posted March 22, 2006 Jordanites. I based this, of course, on absolutely nothing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Muirenn - Member Share Posted March 22, 2006 WoTist. Because we're a cult. :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Briakale Nirene - Member Share Posted March 22, 2006 I'm for WoT-heads. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ruffio - Member Share Posted March 22, 2006 what about Wheelers? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Taei - Member Share Posted March 22, 2006 How about RandFans? :) Actually, I'd say Wheelers is more like it, though, and easier to say. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Adanza - Member Share Posted March 22, 2006 i think someone came up with wheelies over on the temp boards, and i like that one a lot, but there's still something about WoTers that i like too... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Toman Zahere - Member Share Posted March 22, 2006 We may love RJ as an author but we love his creation more. It's got to be WoTers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
woolhead - Member Share Posted March 22, 2006 haha, definitely WoTist :D But between the two options given I would say it has to be WoTers. I don't know about you guys, but I personally have never read any of Jordan's other work...although his upcoming series(Infinity of Heaven?) does look interesting and I'll probably check it out.

the dude - Member Share Posted March 22, 2006 i say wotophiles. that or geeks. before anyone gets in a huff, now, i fully recognize that i'm here too, and accuse no one of anything for which i am not also guilty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Taei - Member Share Posted March 22, 2006 I've been a geek forever, even before I found out about WoT. ;) No offense taken. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BenTGaidin - Patron Supporter Share Posted March 23, 2006 I'm going to vote for "Unitarian Reform WoTian(s) - Third Congregation" because I think it's fun. *grins* Ben Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fader6818 - Member Share Posted March 23, 2006 I'm for "just about anything except Jordanites" I mean, seriously, have any of you actually read Conan or Fallon? i HAVE, and if he had never written tWoT, I wouldn not give him the time of day as an author. I am definitly a WoT fan, not a fan of RJ (though I do like the fella!). I vote for WoTever. :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niamh Sedai - Member Share Posted March 23, 2006 We are definate WoTers!! Plus Jordanites makes us sound like some kind of rock or something. o_O Though I do like WoTist too :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Siswaiaman - Member Share Posted March 24, 2006 No we can't be WoTers! The Thoryland ppl are already that! I like wheelers, but DMers is taken for granted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
