Nikita announced on his MySpace that he’s “Working on an inspired story…More vicious than Spectral Exile was.”
This one is one of those that I know is going to piss off the alternative fringe to the core and I don’t fucking care it does. Sinner’s Deadline is a hardcore horror yarn that is darker than . . .
. . . the darkity darkest thing he’s ever previously written? He’s going to piss off people? So, what else is new?
More likely, the story will be swiped and reviewed for a good chuckle. If this is the new and improved Nikita after all these months of therapy and restricted internet access, I almost want the old one back.
Screenshots?
Of my Feedreader? I already did a copy-pasta of the contents of the frame.
Oh, ok… ’cause all I’m getting is that “This Blog has been set as Private” screen.
More vicious? More vacuous is more like it.
More vicious that Spectral Exile? The grammar maybe….
Spectral Exile was vicious to my senses, especially my eyes. Also my brain.
I’m going to take a wild stab that this is the story about the Christian Rock singer that makes a pact with the devil or whatever that ETT mentioned. That sounds like a story idea and plot, yet when it’s finished, nothing will actually happen but we’ll get a great description of how everyone wears jeans and hightops and are writers who have been published. The End.
I’d forgotten about his obsession with hightops. That brings back memories of when Nicky wanted to hire some chick to be his Lake Fossil Press Girl, or whatever he called the job. Remember when Ben jokingly linked to a photo of some blonde in tight jeans, shiny new white hightops, and a really bad puffy ’90s fe-mullet hairdo? Her face was sort of cute, but the overall look was retro trailer trash.
The Spinetinglers review someone did of “Exile”, where they said it was masturbatory because it mentioned the character being a published author and dressing just like him (basically HE was the star) was not only perfect for that particular piece, but for every story he had written prior and since then.
Speaking of the hightops Rusty: His Johnny Alien story is the epitome of that when they decided to give the martian human clothes to hide him from scientists…

“A pair of black Levi’s and a red hooded sweatshirt seemed like something that would work for him. See if we can find him a pair of leather Converse hi-tops too, the less noticeable he is the better luck he has in completing what he needs to complete.”
Ah yes . . . his fan fic piece.
“I know! Let’s disguise the alien as a 1996 teenager! Nobody’ll ever recognize him. It’s brilliant.”
Nicky added a MySpace entry with an update about “Sinner’s Deadline.”
Did he actually write a story called “The Midnight Diner,” or is this just a ripoff from Coach Culbertson’s Midnight Diner magazine?
Seriously, Nicky, will you ever come up with an original idea?
Coming up with original ideas takes braincells, Rusty. Nicky has precious few of those. I suspect he needs them all to keep breathing and defecating at regular intervals.
I wore high tops in the 80s….a pair of green reebok ones LOL
I had a pair of sneakers in the 1980s, but they were Tretorn tennis sneakers that I only ever wore commuting to/from work, and changed into dress shoes for office wear. Loafers or cowboy boots are more my style.
