There used to be a magazine called Wizard, which was all about comic books. They had an online message board and I used to be a frequent visitor of that forum. I needed to come up with a username so I could post about nerdy things, so I combined the nicknames of my two favorite superheroes at that time. Anyone wanna guess what those 2 are?

darkstar and howard the duck?
 
When I was a teenager, I was signing up for an online game and had to choose a name. Since I enjoyed writing and music, I picked Minstrel, since I liked the cheerful, wandering musician/poet imagery. I had a lot of fun in that game and liked the overall image of my character in that game, so began signing up for other things online with that moniker. Eventually, I began to sign up for anything informal online as "Minstrel," which eventually extended to FanHome where I first fell in with this "community." As the group moved to BasketballBoards.net and then SportsTwo, I kept the same name for recognizability.

Well, that's my story.
