He has another wall o’ text entry on his Facebook pimping his old stories.
This first appeared on my diary-x journal. I posted this one up for John Oliva, and some of the others who are just getting into my work for the first time.
Peaches provided a link to Gruesome Cargo in the House of Pain archives. I’ve no idea who John Oliva is, but it’s a safe bet he won’t be interested in Nicky’s stories for very long, if he’s got more than one brain cell left.
. . . if you’re nuts enough to look it up, this is the story that got Brigit Knox knocking on my door
There’s a name he hasn’t mentioned in years. Nicky has a sub-board dedicated to her on his forum, but it’s dead as a doornail. So’s the rest of the board, for that matter.
. . . my story made this one infamous because I got the editor of Flashing Swords pissing down my career’s back. Mary Sangiovanni underestimates me because I do self-publish but I had organized a boycott of her novel because what she did with TABLOID PURPOSES . . .
He just can’t resist taking swipes at people who never did anything to him, can he?
I got picked up by the Temple of Dagon too which is is an H.P. Lovecraft site that is where I befiriended April Derleth. She gave me a Nelson Bond book because I was writing Science Fiction (my long standing parlor trick.)
And like all parlor tricks, his writing is an illusion.
When I did my sit down along side Mike Philbin — we were giving the finger and in the interview we compared notes with Chimeraworld and TABLOID PURPOSES . . .
I think he’s talking about that infamous interview that Matt Staggs did. Note that Matt closed his Blogspot account not too long after he published, then removed that interview. Of course, I have a copy of it, and Nicky posted a copy on his WordPress.
. . . (but looks like the Ladies of Horror beat my long standing record of having a large anthology. On top of that doing a magazine twice a year.Mary threatened a lawsuit and a media blackout (the hell with them. Dammit Lesiure. I get along with one author on that roster. John Everson and I actually butted heads via e-mail because of a stunt they pulled at the World Horror Convention.)
Everson was the guy that Nicky was pissed off at for not riding to his defense. That reading from Reality Check was hilarious. As for Mary, I doubt she did any such thing. She just doesn’t strike me as the type. Can’t we all just let him enjoy being a published author? *snerk*
Then some of Mike (Hertzan Chimera) and I trade authors often.
I think what he means is that he and Hertzie just keep publishing the same Nitwits over and over. Clarity of thought always takes a beating at the fingertips of Nicky.
Once again, I am confused. Does he mean the Ladies of Horror 2008 anthology? Because if he does, that was put together by Jennifer L. Miller. Or is he talking about the combined Ladies and Gentlemen of Horror 2008 Anthology (which was also put together by Jenna?) I kinda hope so, since I’m in the anthology… and am able to point and giggle at his acknowledgment that mine is bigger than his.
*snerk*
But then, if he does mean one or both of those anthologies, for what reason is he “damning Leisure?”
I do declare! He needs to make hisself more clear!
Nick, seriously…just start taking your damn meds again and stay off the internet.
Seriously.
Hey Nicky I might get published too!
Well once I finish polishing up a 750 word essay about how I’m doing well living with a mental illness and then e-mail it to the folks putting the book together.
They’re putting together stories of hope and recovery to put in a book. 🙂 If your full essay is published you get $250, and even a short excerpt is used (though you don’t get paid for them using just part of it) your name is in the book. 😀
I’m not sure what anthology Nicky means. He may not know, either. The guy habitually connects unrelated thoughts within the same paragraph, and often within the same sentence.
That’s an awful lot of name-dropping. Am I supposed to be impressed?
“organized a boycott”?
Boy can’t organize one pair of shoes with ‘L’ and ‘R’ printed on the toes.
Yeah, Mary’s hurtin’ for certain over that. ::eyeroll::
Guess I better post my review of “Found You” tomorrow… gotta do what I can to defeat the boycott.
How many people has he tried to boycott over the years? Brian Keene, Mary Sangiovanni, and Joe McGee come to mind. There may be others.
How many have boycotted Nicky? Oh yeah pretty much everyone since the only person buying his books is him. 😀
“…no idea who John Oliva is…”
Stumbled across the fact that Nicky and he went to the same high school, both class of 1994. Looks like they may have just gotten back in touch with each other in early February. I don’t think he has been subjected to Nicky’s writing yet.
Ooh. Thanks for that piece of intel.
John — run away. As long as you don’t still wear clunky 1980s style high-top sneakers, like Nicky does, you stand a fair chance of outracing him.
Hell, I could outrace him, wearing a pair of cowboy boots. If you know what’s good for you, John, stay far, far away from Nicky.
My two cents is worth what you paid for it, but use your own judgment.
The facebook is off limits. The sad little cunts like you going around harassing my friends suggesting they drop me like a bad habit. What would you do if my classmates like what I do as a writer? Do a picket in front of a bookstore which carries my magazine suggesting they burn it? ITs fucking sad that you would go and steal from my facebook notes. Facebook and myspace are off limits. You’re fucking sad if you’re going around telling people who knew me from before I became a writer to stay away — doesn’t that seem kind of shitty to you? Unless you’re pushing the shit authors on Black Death Books — I do call them shit. I read one book and vowed never o buy another book from that company again. What would you do if my classmates own TABLOID PURPOSES and copies of the magazine? As for the bitch who calls herself a Lovecaft character. I am doing nothing wrong by being on the internet. As for Melany — you should really know better than to run with a crowd devoted to my destruction. What’s wrong you hate the fact that LAKE FOSSIL PRESS is alive and well.
Fuck you all.
Your mind so small thaT YOU GO AROUND PICKING ON PEOPLE WHO THINK FOR THEMSELVES. Tell me something, what does it feel like to not have a life.
Since when it is okay to steal from facebook? Rusty Nail? Or should I say Nelson Ford and Beresford? Going around molesting your brother’s ashes.
Stopped taking your meds again, Princess?
