John Green is possibly best known for Vlogbrothers, the YouTube channel he shares with his brother Hank. Together they have formed a large community of so-called Nerdfighters (note that Nerdfighters are not people that are against nerds but are in fact people who are for nerds). […] Twelve-year-old Xander Wiersema is an avid reader, gamer and Nerdfighter living in Victoria.
With the help of his brother, he is rallying Nerdfighters everywhere with the battle cry of "raising nerdy to the power of awesome."
When lead actors Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort arrived, one 20th Century Fox executive was heard saying, “We could have filled Yankee Stadium” with Nerdfighters — the nickname of supporters of the pro-intelligence and good-deeds agenda of Green and his brother, Hank Green. […] “The Fault in Our Stars” producer Wyck Godfrey, known for his role as producer for four “Twilight” films, said Nerdfighters are making their presence felt.
Despite their affinity for new media, Nerdfighters are readers, many of whom have reported reading more than twenty-five books annually—an amount Hank once described as “a lot of frickin’ books.”
