I write fan fiction and am currently in the process of writing a planned series of fan novels based on the joint adventures of Jean-Luc Picard and Shinzon (it's amazing what you can do with a bit of bad science and a huge amount of imagination!). Actually, I've been trekking since 1969 and I love all Star Trek. I have books galore and I collect Art Asylum 7" Star Trek figures as well.Apart from that I love movies, reading, music and occasionally making my own art.

Since we've been debating a lot about the fanbase here and the different varieties of fan: hardcore, casual,etc, I thought it would be fun to poll the usual suspects in the ST09 forum as to how they view themselves as fans, just to see how diverse the fanbase Abrams has to face actually is.

After some clarification about the purpose of this poll... we're back!
Hardcore for me. I think that's pretty obvious!

"Hardcore" ~ Well I'd have a hard time denying it!

I went with Hardcore. I feel that word is too strong to represent me, but I do spend time regularly posting on this board and my Trek knowledge factor is very close to a 10.

What's the difference between "hardcore" and "trekkie"?

In this context, I take "Trekkie" to just be a regular fan. Ah, the ever elusive definitionless word...

hard core to me is when you live and breathe Star Trek - constantly think about it, have your house/room decorated in a huge amount of Star Trek memorabilia, Trekkie is exactly what CH said.
I have a few Star Trek action figures now and a couple of ships and will probably get the new movie stuff so i might be bordering Trekkie/Hardcore - however my knowledge on Star Trek is not that detailed - i've only really enjoyed and still enjoy the movies - not a big TV Trek fan bar the Original.

Yeah, I'd say you're hardcore.
Me, I'm more Trekkie now, was hardcore (and would still be if I could afford it).

Ah, well, then by your definition, I'm no more a Trek fan than you are ST:E. I don't constantly think about it, I don't have a single decoration in my house, and I have a fairly small amount of memorabilia.
And yet, you've labelled me part of the hardcore fanbase. I guess your labels don't work any better than anyone else's.

Greetings,
Call me what you want, based on the following:
1. I'll always tear up when Spock tells Dr. McCoy at the end of "This Side of Paradise", "For the first time in my life, I was happy".
2. I'll always cheer with Data when they destroy the Borg ship..."YES!"
3. I'll always cringe when the brakes sound right before Edith Keeler is hit.
4. I'll always laugh as Spock says "A double dumbass to you" in Star Trek IV.
5. I'll always feel a deep sense of doing the right thing when Ryker says "Fire", with the hope of destroying Locutus.
...I could go on...but you get the point
A label is a poor man's way of trying to understand that which he apparently is unable to understand.

Perhaps thats the lesson to be learned here - labeling people when you don't know them, or even if you do - doesn't work. However i guess my guess was pretty accurate since you labeled yourself Hardcore (although perhaps a tad strong for you)

In regards to StarTrek09, I went with hardcore, because I will see the film 100% no matter what people say and/or how bad it may be. I may not enjoy it in the end, but I am looking forward to this movie in a very hardcore manner.
As for Trek in general, I quote lines from Trek to use in my daily life, thats hardcore my friend. I have a room in my house that is my Star Trek sanctuary. The list goes on.
