If you're still accepting submissions to this contest, how about:
Readerminions, (since we're all beholden to the Evil Authorlord) or ViridaMinions/Virid'aMinions, if you prefer puns.
Blue-Green Dreamies (because 'viridian' is a type of blueish green - not to be confused with Blue Meanies, mind you.)
Come to think of it, you could combine the 'minion' aspect and the 'blue(-green)' aspect from the two previous ideas, and have:
Smerfs (= serfs + Smurfs)
And finally, something for the FF.net crowd:
House S'TarKan (Updates Are Coming... Right?)
Also, re: reward, you could consider emulating Eliezer "LessWrong" Yudkowsky's example - in order to give people an incentive to contribute cool stuff to his fanfic Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality, he offered them the opportunity to get a named character of their choosing added as a cameo in a future chapter. (Personally, I managed to bribe him to add Adrian "Mad Drongo" Turnipseed to chapter 86; after all, what story about wizards can be considered complete without at least one visiting alumnus from Unseen University?) :D
Maybe you could offer the person who provides the winning suggestion for a fan-base name with the chance to name a random minor supporting character in an upcoming chapter of a fanfic of their choosing? :) (Presumably HP:NFP, since it seems to be next in line to receive an update.)
PS: It appears that BBCode is disabled; is that standard procedure for newly registered members, to prevent any spambots that might turn up from immediately flooding the forums with links to buy WoW gold boner-pills and sundry crud? If so, I'll just come back later and edit the post to get the proper bold-font emphasis on HOUSE S'TARKAN etc. :)
