What are Discworld fans called?
by raptornx01 » Fri Jan 18, 2013 8:02 pm
Pretty much every fanbase has a moniker. Star Trek fans are trekkies, Firefly fans are Browncoats, whovians, bronies, potheads, narutards, beliebers, etc etc. What about discworld (or general pratchett) fans? I don't remember ever seeing anything around.

Discers?
Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change? ~~ Oddball

I can think of a couple, but I don't want to get booted off the forum.

"Much of the world"? Millions and millions...
Pterryfans has been used, especially appropriate now that he has more non-Disc books out.

That's what the Discworld stamp collectors are called.

I like that one Tony!
Lately, when explaining something to my husband or coworker, I've been using the term Pratchetteers.
Be careful what you wish for as you just might get it.
