...is there such a nickname for DS fans? [rollr]
Shadowphiles
Shadowphiles
Really? That's it? Sounds like something an accountant would keep...... [santa_huh]

Maybe it's best that there isn't a common term for DS fans -
I don't think we should be pigeon-holed like those Trekkies...I mean, Trekkers, I mean, um, Trek-Americans...uh.. [crazd]
When I first discovered DS fandom, I join a DS group.
They sent me a membership card. I made the mistake of showing
this to my sister. So when she made fun of me, she'd tell people
that I am a Card Carrying Member of Dark Shadows.
We could aiways call ourselves Darkkies. Just a thought, Elmont...
So with that in mind we might also have,
Shadowmeister - recognized expert in all things DS
Shadowaficionado - someone who likes and deeply appreciates all things DS (hopes to one day attain the level of Shadowmeister)
Shadowphobe - person who fears DS
Shadowphilephobe - person who fears DS fans
Shadowholic - person who is addicted to DS
Shadowdancer - one who simply must dance when they hear the music of DS
Shadowpuppet - person who has nothing original to say about DS and simply mimicks the Shadowaficionados and the Shadowmeisters

I like the sound of Shadowfan. Shadowphile is not bad either.
Don't Trekkies want to be called Trekkers nowadays?

Nowadays? By the early 70s, many fans were running away screaming from the term "Trekkies" and regarded it as an epithet (because it was used as one by non-fans), and they came up with "Trekkers" to replace it.
Most people I know don't even know what the hell I'm talking about.
Shadowphilephobe - person who fears DS fansI love this.
...Creepy accountants we are not... [santa_azn]
I thought of another one:
Shadow-ite - someone who speaks DS - who uses actual phrases from scripts word for word which fit into their conversations. Unless the person they are speaking to is another Shadow-ite however, they are not aware of what's going on.
Quentinphile - someone who appreciates Quentin for his mind only. (I lie a lot)
If we require identification, please, let us be true to the show and refer to ourselves as "cousins from England."
what if it's a specific character that you're partial to.I love barnabites, hoffmaniacs, and I really love lizbians. But victorians is easily mistaken for lovers of Victoriana. I also like quentessential better than quentenials. But then again cousin is very cute, and it does make it sound like we are all related. [santa_grin] Misa

The Barnabites are a religious order: http://www.catholic-church.org/barnabites/
And, of course, I love that we fans of the Divine One refer to ourselves as "Grayson's Legion."

As for membership cards, I don't remember if it had one of those (it might have, I'll have to check through my stuff), but the officially DCP sanctioned DS Vampire Club that was active in the late '60s gave out members certificates
A picture got created in my head of a hundred or two hundred people looking nothing alike, all standing at the doorway of Collinwood, lying their asses off to Mrs. Stoddard, all saying in unison... "We're distant cousins from the English branch of the family... of couse you'll let us all move into the Old House and fix it up.... if a guy delivering a couple hundred coffins shows up, just send him on over...."
Now I'm sitting here with a mental image of a bunch of us and the guys from "This Old House" standing around, talking about soil drainage, historical paint colors and whether or not the Collinsport Historical Society will allow us to remove the portico.
Don't Trekkies want to be called Trekkers nowadays?
As for my affiliation, I'll always be one of the Psychos for Selby. [santa_tongue]
