I found this through
whedonesque so you may have seen it already. It's from HERE

Here are some funny entries:

Whedonites are the alarming, often fanatical devotees of writer/director Joss Whedon.

Whedonism is a faith devoted entirely to the interpretation and worship of Whedon's various televised works and their assorted merchandising spinoffs. Whedonites are fierce and terrible in their belief, and have been known to profoundly annoy and harangue any critic, writer, or network executive who fails to lavish what they deem a sufficient level of praise and adoration upon their demigod's undertakings. They will buy just about anything with a sufficiently strong connection to their lord and master, a fact that savvy marketers have exploited in shameful fashion, and to great success.

The faith has undergone a schism in recent years. The traditional Buffistas interpret Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its quasi-canonical spinoff Angel as the only true gospels of Whedonism, while the more heretical Browncoat faction draws the majority of its teachings from Whedon's space Western Firefly. Unconfirmed reports suggest the existence of another, ultra-orthodox branch of Whedonism, whose adherents believe that there is no truth beyond the pages of Whedon's screenplays for Speed, Toy Story, and Alien: Resurrection.

The idea of the schism is priceless IMO.

Here's the entry for James Marsters:

James Marsters is a popular TV boyfriend and the object of a great many fangirls' lurid desires.

Best known for his role as punk vampire and frequent slash fiction subject Spike on the WB series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, Marsters is a platinum-blonde Englishman hailed for his unusually convincing American accent. He gained his current bad-boy reputation after he killed an off-duty stuntman with his cheekbones in a Reno bar brawl; police later deemed Marsters "too pretty" to stand trial.

Marsters is currently appearing in the WB series Smallville and the vaguely disturbing erotic fantasies of a great many Whedonites. (Of both genders.)

And for Angel:

Angel was a television series on The WB, created by Joss Whedon, about a centuries-old vampire with a soul, an immense forehead, and truly excellent hair. The title character, former age-inappropriate boyfriend of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, was frequently unhappy, probably because a curse prevented him from having sex. Honestly, wouldn't you be pretty upset about a thing like that?

Angel reached the height of its creative powers in its fifth season, drawing excellent ratings and well-deserved praise from critics and viewers alike for its biting wit and compelling storyline. In a peerless masterstroke of programming brilliance, The WB promptly cancelled it.

And last but not least...the fangirls!!! You may recognize yourselves sistas, partly or wholly!

The distaff counterpart to fanboy.

Fangirls are known for identifying with female television characters whom they feel reflect them most accurately. These characters are usually brainy, misunderstood, beautiful and yearned-after by the dreamy male lead.

Past objects of fangirl devotion include Dana Scully, Aeryn Sun, Willow Rosenberg and Sara Sidle.

Fangirls are most comfortable with UST, because it forestalls the possibility that the dreamy male lead will actually take up with a character who does not reflect the beautiful, brainy type. Also, it means that the fangirl and Dana Scully can continue to have something in common in their spinsterhood.

In addition to emotional transference, fangirls are also known for their pedantry, their penchant for over-analyzing every aspect of every episode of the show, and for their evangelical fervor in attempted conversion of the masses. Fangirls are also capable of hysterical hate campaigns when their wrath is provoked, but these are typically restricted to incoherent rants in their online journals, ineffective e-mail petition, attempted fundraising efforts which result either in in-fighting or inexplicable trade press ads, and generally behaving in a way that is the exact opposite of the character with whom they identify.
