Also, they're called Pastafarians. Jus' gonna leave that out there. I hate to be that guy, but technically speaking, the group on the Creepypasta Wiki is a part of the Internet's entire 'Creepypasta fandom' (at least in the sense that people who hang out on this wiki are passionate about writing Creepypasta stories). So you're a couple years too late to be say 'the last thing we need is to be dubbed a fandom'.

As for Pastafarians, isn't that one already taken by worshippers of the Flying Spaghetti Monster?

[Side Note: the wiki's Pasta community isn't exactly the most well-liked group in the fandom. Honestly, a large portion of the deviantArt and tumblr crowd sees the CP Wiki as 'a bunch of condescending elitist pricks' (especially some of the mods). A lot of the hate has to do with the latest deletion wave and the mod's obsession with perfectionist 'quality standards'. The fact that several of the community's vocal members see the dA/tumblr crowds as a bunch of whiney tweens obsessed with shipping characters (See: SlendermanXJeff, BenXJeff, JeffXJane, Eyeless JackXJane, Laughing JackXJeff, MaskyXZalgo, etc.) and obsessed with making fanart doesn't help matters.]
