I’ve been waiting all day for Nicky to blow his stack on one of his blogs. My reward is a head-scratching WTF.
The fucker created a domain trying to mislead people from my company. Anyone wants to send this faggot hate maile they can do so at the address above.
There’s no address listed, even if you try to highlight his entire entry to see if he’s using black text on black. Still, it’s obvious that he’s trying to incite all three of his fans into harassing people for him.
If he wants to start a fight, he’s got one now.
You and what army are going to start one, huh, Peaches?
Publishers — do not take submissions from this person.
Nicky, Nicky, Nicky. When will you ever learn that most of the people you’ve pissed off over the years by going after their family members have little or nothing to do with the field of publishing?
I will see to it every publisher will not publish any of his manuscripts.
What manuscripts?
Prepare to die asshole because your work is going to die with you.
What work?
Okay . . . does anyone know who in the blazes he’s blathering about this time?
*** update ***
He must have read this entry, because he went back to edit his own to add the person’s email address. He also added this:
Welcome to the wall of shame you fucking goat raping piece of shit.
You don’t own me motherfucker — you’re in my fucking crosshairs you pigraping son of a bitch. People like you make me sick, and if you’re trying to tell people your the owner of Lake Fossil Press. I will see to it that the industry skullfucks you out of the business.
Time to contact Kim and get him back into the hospital, doncha think?
“…and if you’re trying to tell people your the owner of Lake Fossil Press. I will see to it that the industry skullfucks you out of the business.”
“…and I’ll misuse punctuation while doing it!”
Question: Did Nicky copyright the name “Lake Fossil Press” yet? If not people can still use it, right? I mean there are hundreds of “Joe’s Barber Shops” around the world, no one Joe is looking to sue the others for the name.
I read this and I get images of Nicky frothing at the mouth; obviously he’s so insensed that even his normal blabbering makes no sense. I get images of him freaking out, screaming at the computer and banging his fists on the keyboard and praying to whatever God he worships that it comes out in some form of English.
“In nightmares” indeed. *shudder* Any imagry of Nick is a nightmare in and of itself.
FYI, Nicky-poo, the only person holding “Lake Fossil Press” hostage is you. You’ve done nothing with that “company”, you never will do anything with that “company”, and if someone can take the name and make something of it, despite the fact that you “own” it, I say good for them. At least they did something with it where as you, obviously, cannot.
Nicky never registered his “business” as Lake Fossil Press, or anything else, for that matter. Legally, he doesn’t have a company.
How much you want to bet he’ll go after the company that registered and parked/hosts lakefossilpress.com and etherealgazette.com? He’ll claim he owns a company named that, and demand that the domain be turned over to him for free. He tried that with nickolausapacione.com, and lost.
The law does not care who used the name first; it cares only who registered it first.
So if someone bought the company name of Lake Fossil Press, would he then have to alter his previous books, or would he just be forbidden from using the name after that point?
It would be so worth it to register Lake Fossil Press then use it to make gay cartoon dinosaur coloring books.
Ant is on to something.
“Lake Fossil Press Presents: Adventures of MegaSoreAss and LickALottaPuss”
I’ll tell you what, one of you register Lake Fossil Press as an actual company, and I’ll write a 30 page short story and submit it just to hear Nicky scream.
AND I’ll do layout and cover for free.
He would have to alter his books and take down the lulu storefront. I researched this while fighting with Polymancer. But you would have to be registering it as a publishing house to get that.
Actually, there can be more than one business with the same name, as long as the name isn’t trademarked (and no, you can’t come in now and trademark Lake Fossil Press since it’s already been used by Nicky for awhile. And since the trademark process is expensive, Nicky won’t ever be able to do it himself.) Lake Fossil Press is fair game.
Generally same name businesses doesn’t happen in the same geographical area, though, because States (at least the State I live in) tend to check for that to prevent confusion. But you could have two or more of the same name business in the country, and it would be legal. I’ll bet there are tons of AAA Plumbers all across the country. …Just found eight different companies named AAA Plumbing on the first page of a Google search.
I was going to email this to you, Rusty, but I couldn’t find a way to do that (I really didn’t look very hard, I confess), so I’m posting it here. It’s been about a year since I had any kind of contact with or even a thought about Nicky. I don’t read his blogs, follow his outbursts, or devote any time whatsoever to thinking about him. Then this evening, while I was quietly going about my business, I got the following message from Nicky in Yuku:
====
“This is personal Garton. You come anywhere near my family — you won’t have to worry about sales because I am just going to kick your ass. You don’t fuck with this authors family. I am teaching my younger sister how to a story that disses you — you don’t fuck with me asshole. I am not going to fuck with your career. I am just going to kick your ass and let it be like that — then at the venue I am going to have a heavy metal smash party with your mercedes. That means I am going to have a bunch of my metalhead friends take turns smashing up your car with a sledge hammer I am going to charge $10.00 a hit. Crazy one — fuck no, just very calculating with every step of his moves and career. I’ve been published with Withersin Magazine you washed up son of a bitch. If you e-mail any Pacione — I will find out about it and if you are doing a signing in Chicago, I am not going to punch you,. I will put you in a fucking choke lock until you beg for your life. You fucked with the wrong writer and some people didn’t drop me — they added me because of my little crack about you masterbating to Buffy The Vampire Slayer.”

In case you’re wondering, no, I have no clue what he’s babbling on about, and I can’t help but feel grateful for that small blessing. But I also can’t help wondering what made ME pop into the pointy part of his tiny little head all of a sudden. I don’t have any idea what “venue” he’s talking about, but to be safe, should I find myself going to any venues in the near future, I will leave the Mercedes in my garage with the Porsche, the Jaguar, the Aston Martin, and the pink Cadillac I won in a bet with a Mary Kay representative.
Does he really have a younger sister? Is she safe? I’m actually serious about that.
I thought you and your readers might enjoy this, Rusty. I hope you don’t mind that I’ve posted it here.

There’s never a rhyme or reason to his madness, Ray. I”m sorry he’s doing this to you.
Ray, I, too, have been getting a lot of abusive emails and blog posts–which I have been deleting, since my blog is now officially Pacione-free. I can only surmise that it’s his time of the month.
I’d suggest we have a whip-round and buy him some tampons, but if his voice and his hamster cheeks are any clue he’d only eat them.
His guestbook is hilarious.
“Nikolaus, don’t be rude! I’m taking over Lake Fossil Press and running it as a homosexual erotic publishing house from now on.
Can you come upstair for a moment? I can’t get layout for http://lakefossilpress.com right and I understand you have heard about this HTML thingy. How do you make the background hot pink?”

Curiouser and curiouser, said Alice…
Oh sweet Lord he’s pimping an article on another Associated Content style site. He mentions just about everybody there from my quick scan, including Mr Garton in what seems like a pretty good example of libel.
It is very tempting to sign on there and post “The Egoless Writer” to see how he reacts to it, but their rights statement is a bit confusing.
Helium, eh? I love the irony. IRL, he sounds like he’s inhaled an awful lot of it, and it sort of filled the otherwise empty space between his ears.
I have screen caps of all six pages worth of that ranting “article.” He’s more off his rocker than usual, bringing up names he hasn’t mentioned in ages, accusing them of doing all sorts of imaginary stuff.
Ant: I wasn’t considering registering that company name I was just wondering about the legal aspects of it.

Dear Lord, he’s gone completely off his rocker, hasn’t he? TIme to break open a beer, sit back and giggle.
He’s definitely gone off his nut again.
(Chomping on his popcorn from the bag while watching madness brew.) Anybody want some? It’s got some good butter.
