DTuck is an amalgamation of my first initial, and part of my last name. Nothing fancy here.
Though, for some reason, FFF.net was a bit kerflunkered in the early days, so my original screen-name, CitrusBlast, became un-log-in-able.
I use CitrusBlast, or CB, everywhere else.
That came from one of those "gotta pick a screenname to enter a chatroom" moments, and I was tired of inputting my old(er) name of VincentVentrescaWannaBe, so I looked around for inspiration... and came upon a generic soda can on my desk, with the slogan "A Blast of Citrus Flavor!" ... So, I became CitrusBlast.

What REALLY got me hooked on Firefly was the little alien monster at the very end.
====================
Blue Sun used to be Capri Sun back on Earth That Was. Honest. Heard it from a Blue Handed feller.

Its a mutant, that is the enemy, or a mutant enemy...but Mordacil come from when i used to play starcraft in seventh grade, i needed a cool (to me) name and had jsut finished Tolkiens Silmarillion and saw the Quenya(elvish) suffix/prefix index in teh back, so...mor- = dark, -dacil = victor, you can see the root mor in mordor, morgoth, etc.
May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one, so I joined starfleet and was stationed at the SGC to fight the covenant, whos gate happens to be down, and through which I must cast the ring from whence it came. It was our last best hope for peace but it failed so millions of voices cried out and were suddenly silent but there was no spoon and also no fate but what we make for ourselves.
-I thought of that in the shower

Thought I should repost my entry from:

Mine started because I used to play a Game called Giants at Uni (only as research into computer simulations, you understand) in which was a character named Citizen Kabuto.
I then Started playing Counter Strike where my name changed to Citizen Suicide, because of my tactics that involved running at the opposing side with a knife.
And then getting shot.
At some point which I'm not particularly sure of it changed to Citizen Pain (probably around the time I actually got good...) partially as a nod to my abillities to inflict pain on my opponents (god that I was...) and partly as a fairly transparent nod to Citizen Kane.
I've gradually dropped the pain part (though it still follows me to this day to some degree), but that's the story of my name.
More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!

Mine is the title of a Tori Amos song...I have very little imagination. While the song itself is really good, I've always liked the title best.

It's an acronym for something that started back in University about 10 years ago. At that time the Unix systems still allowed the "finger" command, which would display information about a user on the system, such as Name, Address, etc., according to what the user had entered. Can't remember the reason why, but for my name I put "Names are for lesser men", which became the acronym "naflm" because I ccouldn't put spaces into an email address (although I probably could have used periods instead).

"It sure would be nice to find a brand-new compression coil for the steamer...."
This line of Kaylee's struck me when I first heard it, because I was (and still am) interning to become a steam locomotive engineer. I was like, Cool! Stuff still runs on steam in the 26th century?? I wonder what???
Oh, the possibilities to be explored in fanfic.
