This promises to provide amusement.
Some joker named HorrorGal — bought a domain trying to mislead everyone about the series and I am in the process of building the website for the Lake Fossil Press office, and I am looking to get some grants to help me run the publishing company. There will be a second magazine planned that is dark but regional. I am working on the second local issue of the magazine (pay no mind to Beero there) and I should have the Lake Fossil Press website fully operational by the end of the week. Anyone trying to stifle that will find their way on my blog’s wall of shame — I posted a recent wall of shame on there in form of a joker trying to own a story that was written over a 100 years ago. The character has a habit of stealing the House of Spiders characters to mock me — she took the TOC of Tabloid Purposes: Book Five and stole the characters of each book to do a little “book” called “A Road Tripe.”
Ant’s already on the case. Even Shadowtron, who rarely gets involved, mentioned a nastygram that he received from Peaches.
As for “Road Tripe,” well, it’s a really funny typo that goes right to the heart of the matter.
** EDIT **
The thread’s already gone. Here’s my screengrab.
Ah, he’s leaving me love notes on my site

It looks like the Shocklines thread has been snipped already.
Aww, Jerrod, I’ll bet you’re just crushed that you’re not welcome to submit to Tabloid Purposes! I know I would be.
Well, that was fast, lol
Matt was making up for last time.
See the PM Shadowtron received from the Nickster here. Thanks for sending that along, Shadowtron.
Nicky just can’t help himself from namedropping his own shit every five seconds.

I AM A PUBLISHER
I READ MY OWN ANTHOLOGIES ALL DAY LONG
I READ THEM IN A DINER

Being bullied off a message board when I did nothing wrong, but I got in touch with an old Gravedigger (someone who followed my site faithfully) so there was good out of the bad in some sense — I have jokers trying to create domains off my companies and magazine then my family getting mad because I am fighting back. They’re threatening to stick me in a home and take away my internet for good.
I would rather be on my own before that happens. Threats of hostile takeover too via e-mail saying they want to destroy Lake Fossil Press and shit like that — they take domains to make me look like something I am not because they’re angry about being thrown off a website. Now I am just struggling to make my bills too these days too. They are being e-mailed by the trolls saying this and that.
Annoyed that some of them are posing as grandmother, and when I get angry like that I got screamed at by my family. I am annoyed that helium pulls down controversial articles written but I have them as backups at least.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Jesus. That deserves its own entry.
That post is gone, but I read some of the thread for context. People are sharing some of their most tragic, life-shattering stories and then Nicky toddles along and whines about the Mean Girls on the Internet and how his family is threatening to take his toys away. I mean, seriously?
Boy is Nicky keeping Matt busy today.
LOL. Nicky kisses R.N. Lee’s ass, and R.N. is less than thrilled.
Hey, I got an apology. 🙂
I saw that. It’s not very convincing, but it probably is the best Nicky can manage.
Nicky told me once before I was black-balled from one of his publications (can’t remember which one). I had the same response. Laughter.
What’s idiotic about this whole domain registration tempest is that it’s CHEAP, and he still didn’t do it. Really cheap. I spent $13.76 for two domains for a year. If he can afford to buy an electric guitar, he can afford to register a few domains.
You are assuming that Nicky is entrusted with a proper credit card.
He’s probably still got the cardboard MyFirstCreditCard from his local branch that they handed out to children when they got their very first own bank account, with the happy smiling hippopotamus on the front with a little white space underneath, where he’s written NiKolaus AbleRT PaCine in red crayon.
Hosting companies generally don’t take those kind of credit cards.
True. I hadn’t thought of that. I don’t what the options are for payment besides a credit card (I didn’t even check).
Man I had to laugh. Shadowtron says Nicky sent him a nasty PM and Matt ought to do something about it.
So Nicky just comes on and says yeah, that was me. No reason for it though.
Moron.
In the thread where Nicky thanks RN Lee, he only gets two sentences in before shilling himself, then the rest of the entry is him and his crap.
Is it wise for an “author” to continue to list a company as a publishing credit that closed in large part because of you? He keeps mentioning NSP over and over and she doesn’t even have the company open anym…OOOOOH
Next time he posts, someone should ask him where they can purchase a copy of “House of Spiders 3” and where they can get other books by that publisher!
Good lord. Before I went out to do errands today SL was a minor trainwreck. Now it’s like a hundred car pileup.
I love these threads

Since Nicky is so upset at not having tabloidpurposes.com for himself…
For those who might mistakenly come to the site looking for Nicky’s books, I’ve added some text to the site clarifying that it is *not* the site for the Lake Fossil Press TP series.
I’ve also added some links for Lake Fossil Press … links to threads at Absolute Write and Writingforums.com where Nicky has shown his true colors and to Preditors and Editors, where Dave K is “not impressed” with Lake Fossil Press.
I hope this satisfies Nicky’s concerns about the site being “misleading”.
muahahahaha
Bummer. Threads gone. 🙁
