(OOC:) Name Meme

Crossposted with/as dragondancer101

Explain your LiveJournal name, its meaning, and mention an alternative user name you would have used. When you're done, tag as many people as there are letters in your name.

Had several people tag me a few weeks ago.  I'm just now getting around to some of the stuff I'd put aside to "deal with later."  *meh*  Don't do that if/when you can help it.  It piles up FAST.

Well, anyway - easy one first.  "puzzlemasters," even though it's the one I post to and reply from most often and is the one I'm basically permanently logged in as, was originally meant to be an rp-journal for Mutou Yuugi and Yami-no-Yuugi of "Yu-Gi-Oh!" fandom.  Yami is a spirit released from a mystic artifact called the Millennium Puzzle, doing so by successfully assembling it.  Yugi was the one Fate chose to be Yami's partner, his living vessel, so Yugi was the only one who /could/ solve the puzzle.  Both are masters of puzzles, riddles, and games of all kinds.  The "King of Games" theme is very widely done, so I wanted to go with a name a little more unique but still immediately recognizable as to whom it referred to.

As for "dragondancer101" - well it /should/ be DragonDancer1014, but LJ doesn't take capital letters and it's short a digit in lenght.  Everything else - AIM, fanfiction.net, Yahoo - is dragondancer1014.  I love dragons.  Why "dancer"?  *shrug*  I think it has something to do with, like, the Dragonriders (of Pern) or like Wolfwalkers (I forget the author off the top of my head).  I can't ride a dragon (technically, can't dance with one, either, if we're talking real life), but maybe there was some confused mix-up in my brain?  Dragon riders, wolf walkers, walking with wolves, "Dances with Wolves"? (eg the movie).  You know, now that you ask, I don't remember exactly how I came to being "DragonDancer."  I can explain the number though.  1014 . . . 10/14 . . . October 14th.  Mine and my husband's anniversary.  We were married in 2000, so we're coming up on 6 years.  Yay, us!  LOL

Heh, tag to whomever feels like it.  Besides, both my names are freaking long.
