Hat tip: Alice West Nicky managed to get a gig doing some layout work for another writer’s book. Mercifully, the cover art is not his, but the design and layout are classic Nicky. Note the accent grave on the front cover: Note the accent aigu on the first page inside: Also note the overlapping hard-to-read […]

Hat tip: Naaman Brown This is absolutely beautiful. It’s from the Peter Propaganda thread on The Dirty. Well, it’s from RayJay971’s Disqus profile, but both comments were left on the Peter thread.
Crusty Shorts

Hat tip: Lewis Nikita has a brand new long rant on his InsaneJournal. In it, he rants against the usual suspects, and … me. The accusations fly as I am guessing if anyone is worthy of Encyclopedia Dramatica pissing down their back are Sangiovanni, Colbert and The Crusty Rail. I happen to think the rail […]
Mr. Manic Panics

Hat tip: Fallout3 Nicky’s in one of his cyclical manic phases. He started going ballistic last night with Disqus comments, mostly on the Peter Propaganda thread on The Dirty, but there is also this gem from pdf.wondershare.com: I got this one asshole who plagiarized my novel then turned the novel into a pdf image then […]
New Yorker Submission
Posted in Legion of Nitwits, Nickolaus Pacione, Pacione, tagged Legion of Nitwits, Nickolaus Pacione, Pacione, The New Yorker on September 18, 2015 | 7 Comments »
I’d heard that Peaches submitted a story to The New Yorker. Naturally, I thought it was a joke. This year alone, The New Yorker has published stories by Isaac Bashevis Singer (Jan. 26), Stephen King (March 9), and Salman Rushdie (June 1). How could a guy who mangles grammar, spelling, and punctuation as badly as […]
Crowdfunding Redux

Hat tip: Naaman Brown Nicky has updated his Patreon crowdfunding page. The photo up top, instead of being a selfie with his stringy, greasy hair blowing across his face, is one he took of a building in downtown Chicago. He also supplemented his original $1200 milestone goal with ones for $150 and $240. This is […]
Amazon’s Tricks

Yes, Amazon is notorious for treating independent authors and publishers differently than those from the big name publishing houses, but this one really stinks. Karen was banned from using its digital lending library for a year, for multiple infractions of its terms of use. The thing is, one of those violations wasn’t one at all! […]
Sides Splitting

Nickypoo has been very active on that old The Dirty thread. Best lines are his backpedaling for misspelling Porras, and this: I am one asshole and I am clever enough to presign titles too now. Oh, my. Is that some clever trick the rest of the world doesn’t know about? No. Don’t explain. I don’t […]
It’s Alive!

Yesssss! Here it is. Ghoul was “what I did one summer,” but nobody could have written it better.
