(edit #2:Â see below for a message from TOPI)
(edited to insert the link to Goth that I forgot)
At the Goth community at LJ, Mr. Pacione makes an announcement.
Those posts will consist of my own video when I get it going. I am in the process of looking for a good set of computer speakers. I will be announcing the next giveaway item soon to the community — the moment I have more copies of some of them I will give one to one lucky bastard in the community.
The guy who can’t afford to pay his authors is wasting money on buying yet another copy of one of his books to give away, and a set of computer speakers? That’s brilliant. It’s also typical of Mr. Pacione’s priorities.
The first anthology giveaway item will be the one I am putting together that was originally set up for Gothicfest 2007 but couldn’t get it done in time for the event.
Translation: “I didn’t get enough submissions to copy and paste before the deadline.”

I would like to add to Nick’s post that we will not tolerate the activities of trolls/sock-puppets.
Remember, this community is actively monitored. Whomever wishes to join the community is free to do so; however, joining Goth in order to harass a member(s) of this community will not be tolerated. The policy is zero tolerance from our view! You might be warned the first time if the moon and sun are aligned in some weird fashion, but often there will be no warning of any kind. Harass Nick and you will simply be banned and most likely in a rude fashion. 🙂 ::and cut back to the regular Goth community:: |
Expecting a little trouble? Has Nick done something unusually bad recently?
Not to mention the fact that he’s already looking towards TP5. The good thing about him saturating the market with these anthos is that it reveals just how big of a fraud he is. His assembly line production tells anyone with more than two brain cells that his effort to produce quality work is pedestrian at best. And then you have documented evidence showing that he’s yet to resolve a years-long log jam of unpaid contributors from past TP projects. If Pacione gave just one ounce of a shit about the minutiae of the craft he’d stop putting out these stupid anthologies and get to work honoring his contractual obligations instead of looking to score speakers.
The good thing (for the contributors, anyway) is that nobody remembers their names, unless, like Kyle or Kody or Nick Mounts, they escaped Pacione’s clutches.
The bad thing is that I’m afraid there are still too many authors out there who know about Pacione ahead of time, but still think “What the heck? It’s only one story. I have other stuff out there.” That’s the attitude upon which Pacione depends for his assembly line.
My guess is that Topi was directed to make that comment by Nicky. Also, the post and posted comment together make it very clear that the goth community there is run by a tyrant.
I wonder if this latest post by Nicky is Stupid Free or SF Drama worthy…
Probably not, because when he posts on Goth, it’s invariably met with dead silence. The real drama is in Topi’s reply.
Shadowtron shut the fuck up, gutless cunt. I am paying the authors too and paying them as I go — but fuck off you little coward. You think Tabloid Purposes is an easy anthology anthology to edit, no it isn’t there is a lot of work involved witht hat book. Just fags like you like to pirate them and cheat authors by stealing the books. Kind suggstion to you is jump in front of a speeding truck and hope it knocks your limbs all over the Jersey Turnpike.
It shows you have a long standing hatred for me and shows that you endlessly suck Ray Garton’s cock to no end.

Nick, cunts don’t have guts. You got your anatomy wrong. Guts are generally in your belly if memory serves.
Also, a person can’t be a cunt. A cunt is a body part. People are collections of body parts. ITs impossible to ave a sentient cunt, toe, hand, etc.
Also, you aren’t an author Pacione. Go back to masturbating. Its a better use of your, and our, time.
Nick, you eventually, and grudgingly, pay one or two authors who howl the loudest. The rest never get paid because you’re always looking to score the next electronic gadget on your wish list, or pay for copies of your own books to hand out as freebies.
One further point, Nick, if I may: what you call “editing” is what most people call reformatting. In the old days, it was known as typesetting. Editing is far above your skill set. For that matter, so is proofreading. You couldn’t find and correct a typo to save your life.
Nick,
Paying them as you go!?! Are you kidding me? Paying authors at your whim is what makes you a fraud? They should be getting paid either upon acceptance or upon publication…not whenever your lifestyle allows. And you spit in their face every time you buy a copy of THEIR anthology to give away as a parting gift to some pathetic Goth local. You are a scumbag of the highest order. Also, why don’t you try a little editing before preaching to me about the challenges that particular task presents? You have no idea, at all, what the word EDIT even means as it pertains to the art of writing. I can sit here all day with you and present thousands upon thousands of examples from your work (and the work you stole from your contributors—until they are paid I consider it theft) of GLARING grammatical/spelling/structural errors that slipped past your “sharp critical eye”. Every other word out of your mouth is either FUCK or FAGGOT or CUNT. You tell people you say these things because you’re edgy, and cool, and outspoken, but what it tells me (and just about everyone else) is that you are uneducated and ignorant and completely incapable of producing a vocabulary fitting a person who wants to make a living as a wordsmith. Hence, you do not have the tools to recognize or remedy (aka edit) the gaffes in your work or others’. You assemble these anthologies; you don’t edit a single word in any of it.
Also, you aren’t an author Pacione. Go back to masturbating. Its a better use of your, and our, time.
There’s a visual I definitely didn’t need….
Nicky, you’re a liar and a fraud. As for cowardice, I’ve never heard of Shadowtron giggling like a little girl and running away when confronted by one of his detractors. You have done that, Nicky. Remember? You giggled like a little girl and ran away. You’re all mouth and no brain, or spine, or balls.
Never fear. He couldn’t find his twig and berries if he were armed with a flashlight and mirror.
