Odysseans
Be it Bronies, Trekkies or Whovians, most fandoms have a title for fans that help them identify themselves with each other. Of the above, I am not a Trekkie. This is something which I have long felt lacking in our AIO fandom. I've also been long meaning to post that I propose this term be Odysseans. It works doubly well, I think, because it relates us not just as fans of Adventures in Odyssey, but it also refers to a citizen of the town of Odyssey, which is cool. Blackgaard himself used the term in "Waylaid in the Windy City"; "Ah, that Odyssean humour." Therefore, I propose that we shall henceforth be known as Odysseans.
Thoughts?

Yes, definitely. I like this name much more than others that have been brought up in the past.

I like this idea, but I'd change the spelling to Odyssians.
Thanks to my Secret Santa for the set!

^this. I really think the current spelling looks awkward.

I know, and I typed out this post writing "Odyssian", but then I Googled it and found out it's actually spelled with an 'e'. I suppose we could take creative license for aesthetics' sake. I'd rather not be the one to make up the choice for millions and millions of people. That's why I put it here.

I am an Odyssean.
And a Potterhead. And an Avatard. But really, who's counting?
Also, ship names. Trandian and Jucian should henceforth be added to the ToO vernacular.

"Odyssean" looks like it should be pronounced "Odyseen."

I like it! I especially like how we can all hear it in Dr. Blackgaard's voice! That really makes it even better. I had never really give the thought of a name other than "AIO fan" or whatever, but this could be a lot of fun.
Odyssians forever! Odysseans does look odd.

Odyssians sounds good to me. *nods*

Like I said, I prefer Odyssian, and it does give touch of uniqueness in that it isn't already a word like Odyssean is. This is now FANON!

Sounds good!
If anyone disagrees, you better have a pretty good reason for it.
