The Geek Hierarchy!

[silversolitaire]

This is eerily accurate. In other words, unless I become a published author I will always stay a total geek... *g*

Just marked all the things that are true for me and thankfully could cross out a couple of things too! Guess I'm not doing all that bad, eh?

I think there needs to be a reciprocal arrow between SCA/Rennie's and people who major in Folklore and Mythology. "Don't you see? I'm normal! When I go home, I'm not Rogar the Barbarian anymore, I'm a programmer! Those people are just freaks!"

But also I think at the bottom of the gamer chart there needs to be a box for "people who major in video game design." I don't think I'm nearly as geeky as most sci-fi lit. fans (based on past experience), though...so I guess it's all prespective in the end. Come to think of it, what you really need is a chart where all categories have reciprocal arrows going to pretty much all other groups; it'd have a separate outside layer for professional authors in sci-fi genres along with people who work at gaming magazines and pro comic artists and the rest of those who can pass it off as less geeky, and then an inner circle for geeky hell-- namely geek convention staff and people who write pornographic mary sue furry Star Trek fan fiction.

I know a lot of people who'd be all offended by certain bits of this, but I think that last category is just hilarious.
