Internet Fan Groups
These groups were formed and given names by the Roswell fans on the internet. Some were never organized groups, but more like titles to describe certain types of fans. Almost all of the organized groups are gone now. AAA - Alien Addiction Affiliates - possibly the first Roswell club, started on what claimed to be the first Roswell fans site, Up North AARL - African-American Roswell Lovers. They had a Roswell ebonics dictionary (RED) featuring their own shipper names like Chocolate Candygirl, and CocoDreamer. (I wish I had the whole dictionary. If anyone has it saved, or knows where it is posted, please let me know.) The Alien Mafia - Max and Michael fans. Not to be confused with "TRUE Alien Mafia" (see below) Amour Dreamers - these are the Dreamers that believe in a passionate love between Max and Liz. As in, not necessarily chaste, but not quite as close to cementing as the Blush Dreamers. ANZACs - Austrailians and New Zealanders who Are Crazy over Katherine Heigl Archivist - (my own term for) people who are attempting to preserve Roswell's history and fanfiction from disappearing from the internet. they repost fanfic and info about Roswell on active sites to save it.

Here is the post about them - Roswell Executioners Beware: Recently a group called the Roswell Executioners has been going around to various Roswell sites in hopes of destroying them. It has already succeded in destroying one site so we have to make sure that this doesn't happen to any more Roswell sites. There are letterally hundreads of sites out there dedicated to Roswell. So if any of you own a site, be sure to have back up files so you can reboot if these so called "executioners" decide to raid your site. I have already informed AOL and hometown of what has happened and they are already in steps of stopping the culprits. And you can bet, if anyone decides to try and be a childish vigilanty with this site, I will be back, and up and running in a matter of days. Just letting webmasters and mastresess know to have back up files and make sure your screen name and passwords are protected.

They were highly successful when they were around, and shamed a lot of people into stopping intellectual thievery. Here is a statement from them - This is a club for all Roswell fans who want to keep their site safe from people who can't think of their own ideas. I came up with this idea after I made my first Roswell site because I found people were taking anything from writing to graphics and claiming them as there own. There will be a list compiled of people who steal things from other peoples sites, this will give those people a bad name and make people think twice about visiting their site. This is not a force to be reckoned with there are our friends and other Roswellians in this club so if you steal you will get caught. It may seem mean but people like us who put countless hours of time into making their sites it's no fun having some idiot coming along and stealing stuff from it with out permission.

The existence of a 'Sadistic Production Team' (whose members are comprised of Grand Executive Sadist Jason Katims, Chief Financial Sadist Kevin Kelly Brown, Ron Moore Powerful Newbie Sadist and, including but not limited to the writers and producers of Roswell and the professional sadists TPTB of The WB), is supported by the amazing number of posts disclosing extreme melancholia, sadness, tears and physical aches, e.g., migraines, bleary/puffy eyes, internal preoccupation/distraction, insomnia; due to viewing End of the World! The disclosure of unBEHRablycutes' constant mantra throughout the aftermath of End of the Word, "Damn you, Katims!" further documents and supports the 'SPT' concept, because of , as she states, 'that strange dichotomy of being so incredibly impressed with Shiri, Jason and JK's talents and caring toward this love story, to the polar opposite of hating JK for the messages he put out there, e.g. the 4 aliens must stay together for their powers to be the strongest (when WILL they ditch the bitch cuz the ho must go).' It is truly a 'sadistic production team' that creates such a moving, dramatic, involving episode that tears at the seams of our hearts and causes crushing, situational depression among Dreamers! SS Randy - (aka the make-out mobile) another name for Max's Convertible in Season 3 Stalker or Stalker boy - nickname for Kyle because he was basically stalking Liz in season one Strawberries - Max/Liz This was used on a couple of the smaller sites for Max and Liz fans before Dreamer caught on.

Feel free to send in email in support or against.) SUMMIT - Smarten Up Michael, Maria Is There SWAAVI - Stop Whacking All Alien Villains Immediately. It's a little lobby that some of us have formed to keep our favorite bad guys around for more than one episode -- both because we like them and because they should be useful information resources.
