The Geek heirarchy - where are you?

LOL!!!
Problem is, I'm in many slots at once - Video gamer, rpgamer, and Trekkie (bordering on Klingon-speaking trekkie)
"The main difference between Trekkies and Manchester United fans is that Trekkies never trashed a train carriage. So why are the Trekkies the social outcasts?"

I'm somewhere above the midline. A RPGer, but not a LARPer.
And I hope to be published soon, but I won't be looking down on anyone. Nope, not at all.
Somewhere below the "not published" level

Yeah....I should probably finish my book before I can think about being published....
But, that said, I have Trekkie, RPGer and "amateur" sci-fi writer (although I prefer the term "unpublished" sci-fi writer).

That was originally, BTW, on Brunching. Lore wrote it.

Didn't know that - someone emailed it to me as a bitmap, and I Googled to find a page I could link to.

What about people who just read fanfic? I've been stuck in the www.slipstreambbs.com Fanfiction site for hours on occasion (though I steer clear of the NC-17 stuff... Unless it has Trance in it! Did I type that out loud?).
