This thread basically went nowhere for a couple of days, then exploded with comments overnight. I’ll put my screengrab after a cut. In case it further expands before Matty deletes it, I’ll check on it from time to time.

Love that thread for Jerod’s offer if nothing else. 😀
Logic bomb has been placed. Let’s see how he explains it away. Or Matt will come through with the shears.
It’s gone. So are both threads about EG submissions.
Interestingly Nicky’s post in the thread about venues for short stories where he talked about paying $10 for Ethereal gazette submissions is gone too.
Rusty, I can sum up why….
Matt is a cock 🙂
Funny how only certain threads are pruned and certain people are never banned.
Requesting full documentation on this Matt character. Please forward all available data to autoaim@autoaim.org. Thank you for your cooperation.
Alien perverts wrecked my pubes 🙂 Solid gold boys, solid gold.
Further thought, did anyone buy this? I saw a PDF version ages ago which was “loaned” to me but did anyone actually buy a acopy?
It was so bloody long I only scanned through it and that was painful. Did anyone read the whole thing?
I read the whole Eye of Shadows book. Dagstine used that book to threaten me, saying that it would destroy me utterly and offering to protect me from it if I would just shut up and cooperate.
If I remember correctly, the punchline was it was mainly just him whining about being picked on in high school.
And thanks CG and Vern!
That’s all it was. He whined about high school. In one scene he would be really tough and in the next one he was collapsing under the terror an atomic wedgie
Had he been tough, he would never have been picked on.
High school was hell for most of us. But most of us prefer to talk and laugh about our victories rather than whine about our defeats.
I love these, “Robotic Reader reads Eye in the Shadows”:

I have to say Janrae’s review sums that book up perfectly.
RobotReader used the words exactly as they appear in the book which shows that it had ZERO editing done to it.
I never thought I’d see the day when Nicky apologized to someone…twice! Those people at Lake Fossil Press are pretty amazing to get that to happen. They seem like a reputable and outstanding company.
I searched my hard drive for my copy of Eye in Shadows and can’t find it. If anyone still has a copy, could they toss me one?
I love robotic reader’s eye in shadows rendition.
Wasn’t there another video where they covered the part of the book where Nicky got glasses or something?
He’s got a new “article” up on Helium: http://www.helium.com/items/190756-essays-preparations-for-first-book-signing-experience
I got a “page not found” error when I clicked on that link, Phil. Has that “article” already been removed? Did anyone get screen caps?
*edit*
Never mind. It was a temporary error.
I have a copy of it (not a screenshot, but copied off into a Word doc). I also reported it to Helium as a violation of their content guidelines. Writers are not supposed to mention their own products/web sites/etc. Not to mention, only 3 sentences in the entire article actually relate to the supposed topic.
three whole sentences? I think that may be a record.
And those three (oh, whoops, there are four, but two are related) are:
“So my advice for those who are just doing their first signing in an atmosphere like The Odeum will be load up on Monster Energy drinks because you’d be too excited to sleep.”
Uh huh. It’s so common for book signings to be held in nightclubs that this is actually useful advice. /sarcasm off
“Smile – yeah right if you write horror, and especially hardcore horror don’t smile. Just give people dirty looks if they never seen a Gothic writer before.”
And how would you know if someone had ever seen a Goth writer before?
“Be yourself, and try not to get into an argument with someone because they said you suck.”
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! … No just send them death threats.
Nah….just threaten to beat them up and call them gay :p
http://www.helium.com/users/98386
Suddenly he doesn’t even mention Lake Fossil Press or The Ethereal Gazette. ;D
No, there’s something funny with that article on Helium.
If you go straight to the Nicky article link it’s #7 of 8.
If you click right (to get to #8) then you end up with the list of “all 7 articles” with Aaron Lazar being #7.
If you click left (from the Nicky article link) you get to #6 by Reverend Ashira Goodard which is #6 of 7.
Click right again and you go to Aaron Lazars text as #7 of 7.
Now, lets get back to the Nicky link again. Click on his name, bringing up the user page I posted above. Click on “Contact this writer”. Page does not exist. ;D
Either Heliums system is glitchy as hell or someone in the Helium staff messed up putting the banbucket over his head.
They’ve tidied it up now and Nicky is no longer on Helium, I’ll leave the squeaky voice jokes for someone else.
Well the article is definitely gone. Twerpy’s profile page is still there though…
Alright. I’ll post the screengrab I took. It was only a one-pager. The reason Autoaim got different articles when he flipped through the forward and back buttons on the page was that those buttons were for related articles. Helium puts arrows for multiple page articles at the bottom of the page, not the top.
Apparently it takes a little while for the article lists with the rankings to be updated. His “cyber-stalking” one showed up yesterday for a while even though it was gone from his profile. And like Mike, I can see Nicky’s profile.
Oh I got that, Rusty. I was noticing was the way it went from [#7 of 8] to [#7 of 7] when you flipped articles, as if the system itself didn’t quite know if the article was really there or not.
That’s weird as this morning his profile was coming up as not found when I clicked on Autoaim’s link and now it’s there again.
It’s there for me, too. I also managed to grab a feed of his articles. There aren’t any now; presumably something will show up if he submits anything else in the future, though.
I read that goddamn Eye in a Shadows when I got an anonymous copy donated to me.
It’s a book full of fat and failure.
Holy shit, it was boring whining posturing.
I looked for “Kiss” in the document, and the only time I found it was when he was telling someone to kill his ass.
There wasn’t a single love interest, not one thing nice said about any female.
It was the most boring drivel I’d ever read.
