First, the WordPress:
. . . some might expect a publisher to be professional on their blogs . . .
Ya think?
. . . but I am showing that I am human when I swear at people or tell some where to sit and spin at.
No. You’re being a horse’s ass.
I’ve been busy with the novella now or days but now it is down to a crawl.
It’s “nowadays.” How many times do I have to tell you that, Peaches? As for crawling, well, it’s what most insects do best. Speaking of which, the poll is still open, and last I saw, Insect is in the lead.
Seems that Paul Taylor doesn’t have a life and showing in his photography that he is an innocent sack of shit . . .
So good of you, Peaches, to finally admit that you pick on innocent people.
When they think they can break my focus on a project . . .
Considering that you just admitted progress was down to a crawl, I’d say they were successful.
Let’s see what you got jagoff – put up or shut up, can you do better?
Do I smell another challenge? The kind in which Nikita demands to see a writing sample from PTaylor, then unilaterally declares that his own is better? Yawn. We all know how these things end.
. . . find your own claim to fame than getting me nearly kicked off a social networking site — faggot.
Wait. Nicky almost got banned from VF? I knew he got banned from one or two of the cults, but the entire site?
From his Blogspot, we have these gems:
This one needs no introduction but I will say this much, he’s one of the faceless assholes . . .
Oh, come on, Nicky. He has beautiful blue eyes.
He has that illusion that he could make himself instantly popular in an heartbeat trying to make me hated on there like some forums hate me.
Now we get to the crux of the matter. Nicky’s afraid that someone will be more popular than he, and that the way to do that is to convince the other kids to hate him. Jesus, Peaches. You’re no longer in grade school, and other folks aren’t as easy to manipulate as you.
I would love to have five minutes alone with this son of a bitch . . .
Pro tip: use lube. You’re going to need it.
Ah back from his mini “hitatus”.
“now or days”
He’s trying to overload your website by inundating it with so many lulzy usable quotes, that’s his master plan.
“Saying I am pretending to be a writer — that is an insult to writers who ran my work.”
Pretty much if you criticize him or any of his steaming piles he calls work, you’re insulting about a dozen different groups of people, from the mentally ill and other writers to the Jews.
I like this ptaylor btw.
I saw that line about almost kicked off VF and wondered, too. Hate speech is against their terms of use, so maybe someone reported him? Maybe that’s why he disappeared from those amusing threads in the vampirefreaks group.
He’s *still* the only member of the LakeFossilPress group. BTW, did anyone else see AngryinIllinois’ postings there the other night? He posted a bunch of the burning-Nicky’s-books book reviews from Youtube. I don’t think they were up more than a couple of hours before Nicky logged in and saw them and whacked them.
It’s pure Nicky. He always disappears from any forum where he gets his ass handed to him. And whenever he creates a forum or group, he always primes it by saying it’s where the LFP roster is going to hang out but they never arrive. No one does. He had/has a forum he created years ago and the most action it ever saw was on Keene’s birthday when he asked his fans (as a bday gift for him lol) to raid it, which we all did.
He can’t hide the fact that he has no friends and no one likes him.
He just doesn’t know how to socialize. Even when someone isn’t trying to piss him off. Every post turns into him talking about what he’s published and shilling his books.
That’s exactly why it’s probably for the best that he hasn’t a date in so long. Nicky would probably spend most of the time talking about himself, his books, and everyone on the internet who’s allegedly trolling him.
Not too many people would be that patient with him, I would suspect. I wouldn’t be surprised if a date excused herself to the restroom, and then ducked out after how many minutes of Nicky rambling and ranting about himself.
He’s incapable of even just saying hi to someone on the net without promoting himself. When you consider the only “credits” he can list are Withersin and Naked Snake Press (that he never mentions is GONE) yet he mentions them over and over, you’d think even he would realize how little he has accomplished.
I think there is a good reason hes been getting so irate lately when someone says he isn’t a real writer or publisher: He knows it’s true and he can’t stand it. He denies it, but still can’t stand it.
I’ll bet Nicky also blocked Angry before sending him(?) a barrage of messages. Typical.
“He had/has a forum he created years ago and the most action it ever saw was on Keene’s birthday when he asked his fans (as a bday gift for him lol) to raid it, which we all did.”
That was the greatest day on the internet ever.
I seem to recall it took him days to clean up the mess.
*snerk*
Again, one of the main things I remember from his stint on Spinetinglers was people who were nice to him ended up with PM after PM prommoting himself.
Pissed them off, needless to say.
Always love when he challenges someone to do better. I’m sure a drunk cat could write with more sense than him.
What Crit is refering to
“i never liked him anyway, though i didn’t really want to get involved. Whenever i tried to talk to him he just replied with a big advert for one of his many stories on some website or other. v annoying.”
😀
Yeah, could be a standard form for people to fill out.
What’s astounding to me is that someone who has been writing–and I use that term loosely–as long as Nicky has hasn’t picked up *some* skills or improved at least marginally.
It’s the typical Nitwit attitude. He thinks his shit doesn’t stink, and he doesn’t want to learn, so he won’t.
I’d partially agree, Mike. Nicky knows there’s something wrong with his shit, but he thinks that what’s wrong is that there isn’t enough of it. So, rather than deodorize it, he keeps adding to the pile. That explains his multiple, revised and expanded versions of old stuff.
I’m wondering how long it will take one of the nitwits to try and cash in on Peter Steele’s death. After all, he certainly was a man of the darkity dark variety.
“Status: FUCK — end of the fucking world as I know it. Peter Steele is dead — I need to find TON”
Fixed it. ::eyeroll::
I expect no less of Nicky “The Metalhead”, I figure it’ll be less than a week until we see him claiming that one of his existing characters was inspired by Peter Steele or that a new character he’s writing is.
There was some concert he went to and while at the concert a tornado hit so he credited the lead singer with saving his life.
First off stupid you wouldn’t have even been in that town were it not for the concert and secondly, unless you stood on a roof during the storm you probably wouldn’t have died.
Oh man here come the lists of bands and albums again.
Didn’t Nicky once try putting together a “tribute project” for Dimebag Darrell after he was murdered, but someone pretty important (a record company exec, maybe?) contacted him and told him point blank to back off?
I can vaguely remember seeing someone talk about it a long time ago, but it happened during a year-long period where I was pretty much ignoring Nicky and anything he did or said, so I probably missed it if it happened.
Yes he did, Ben. I don’t know who, if anyone, contacted him, but his project went nowhere.
I should just sew my damn finger together, what a wanker =(
Errr, that should have been fingers. It’s late here and the knowledge of an impending spew of filth makes me sadder and angry all at the same time.
Don’t forget he’s connected to Metallica because of his birthday!
Heh regarding his typical response to criticism mentioned here (where he asks someone if they can do better)
“Calling my publishing company a black hole for careers — do the world a favor and try to start your own publishing imprint, CUNT.”
Where did he post that? Does he have another blog post up that my feed reader hasn’t picked up yet?
Yeah, he has a new WordPress entry up. I think it’s gotten to the point where the feed readers are trying to pretend he doesn’t exist.
I can see it now: CUNT Press, the publisher Nicky doesn’t want you to know about! The publisher who spells all the words correctly, even the dirty ones!
Again, he’s got that “keep fapping your gums” line. The imagery is just . . . ewww.
Poor Nicky…too stupid to realize we don’t have to lift a finger to ruin him and his ‘work’. He does just fine all on his own.
Dime bag’s family and et al were notified about the book by someone I know. They told Nicky to stfu.
It wouldn’t surprise me if Nicky framed that “fan letter,” assuming it was in writing.
I don’t think that message he got really scared him away from liking Dimebag. This “five minutes alone” catchphrase he’s been using over the past few weeks comes straight from the title of a Pantera song released in 1994.
Nicky couldn’t be original if he tried about anything.
He said he wanted five minutes alone with me… I told him that because the threw down the gauntlet I get to choose the manner of the duel. He never answered that — I wonder why…
😀
Surely five seconds would be enough for someone to deal with him.
I doubt he could do anything for five minutes long anyway. He’d collapse in a wheezing heap.
Sheck out the F.Paul Wilson thread about thieves. Nicky is a douche.
He wouldn’t be Nicky if he didn’t make it all about himself.
He almost killed me with this one.
“and writes with a jackhole he calls Peaches Pacione (a stuffed fucking animal.)”
It comes across that he considers a stuffed animal to be a true contributor, I’m still giggling as I type.
And everyone talks around King Twerpy… well that’s a healthy sign at least.
The thread is about epiracy, which he’s bitched about for years, yet when he chimes in he instead talks about misuse of characters?!?!
>_<
That, and swiping his titles, which can’t be copyrighted, anyway. How many song titles has he swiped for his stories? I’ve lost track by now.
If he bitches about Angry Chupacabra’s upcoming release of Insect, I’ll point out that he swiped it from Voivod.

The track that got me liking Type O Negative was their rendition of Black Sabbath’s title track on the first CD. I actually used “Match Stick Men” as my audition track for a few metal bands in Chicago — many of them wanted to go metalcore when I wanted to do Gothic Progressive Metal like Type O Negative and Saviour Machine.
>my audition track for a few metal bands
>_<
Now Nicky’s auditioning for metal bands? I didn’t know kazoos were in big demand in that particular genre.
“my audition track for a few metal bands”
LOL. I can see it now. “Here’s my auditon tape. BTW you have to be able to pick me up and drive me to practice and gigs and anywhere else we have to be.” Yeah, that’ll go over well…
Not only would he probably tell the other musicians that he needs a ride all of the time, Nicky would probably be stupid enough to try saying “By the way, this is MY band now. I’m taking over!”
If Nicky’s guitar playing is the same quality as his writing no band will want him.
And don’t forget that comment he left on one band’s page on Vampirefreaks saying that if they wanted him for a player they’d need to relocate to bear him.
“many of them wanted to go metalcore when I wanted to do Gothic Progressive”
oh look Nicky would rather do what he wants to showing a complete lack of flexibility in yet another media!
That band he wanted to relocate was 17 year olds, wasn’t it? Again, different media, same Nicky.
Meant “near him”, though “bear” isn’t terribly out of place in this instance.
I thought it was a great typo, Lewis!
Yes, I’d have to relocate to the intersection of Prozac Street and Valium Lane before I could bear him!
Meanwhile… Matt is going to be faced with a choice very soon.
…go on…
Matt has been deleting Beero’s comments on SL recently and making very dubious remarks in private messages. He seems to think that it is possible for him to stay outside of the storm that is coming. He is in error.
We’re in conversation with him in PM’s currently. He is moving himself into a position where he is going to be considered to be an active enabler and open supporter of Nickolaus by the hour. This is perhaps not the wisest of choices. The next couple of days will establish on which side of the fence Matt envisions himself. The time of choices is upon us soon. Matt is going to have to pick a side. Pray he chooses well. It would be for the best of everyone if he chooses the side of sanity. However, collateral damage might be unavoidable at this time, hence it is of importance that he takes a clear stance on the matter, either pro- or con- before he is judged. He will either choose a side or a side will be chosen for him in the absence of his courage. There will be no watchers-by in this. This I guarantee.
But let us not move ahead of schedule. We are, as previously stated, still in contact with Matt and he shall be allowed to form his own stand on this matter before any decision is made regarding him. His beige so called pseudo “neutral” stand in this matter is no longer acceptable, though. He has now taken matters unto the next level, by his own actions. Let him deal with it. This is his own choice.
I just got one more vanilla response from Matt regarding “taking it outside”. Frankly, I’m getting enough of this guy now. He’s getting one more shot at taking his ball and painting “no more nicky” across it, or we’re taking it and playing boompy boomp with it all across the group. I’m due for another personal “Whooop” and this guy is qualifying in spades! He’s either going to get with the program or get eaten alive,at this point in time. ;D
I almost hope his pandering to Nicky isn’t fear-based, because in that case I will show him what tears taste, in comparison. The poor fucking sad little sack of shit, lol… what miserable companionship did he EVER cultivate?
I have always believed that Matt is absolutely petrified of being on Nicky’s bad side, which is why he’s tolerated his antics for so long. It’s a pretty sad thing to see, I think. He’d rather ban legitimate authors from his board when they take issue with Nicky’s stupidity, but he’ll let the source of the problem do and say what he feels.
Matt just needs to learn: being hated by Nicky isn’t exactly the worst thing in the world. I’m sure Matt will get over being told that he’s “finished in Chicago” for “messing with an Eye-talian family”.
I don’t think Matt’s afraid of Nicky’s wrath or threats, but I do think he has a soft spot for losers/retards/sociopaths, and feels some sort of misplaced responsibility to protect them from the meanies. He doesn’t seem to realize that nobody gives him kudos for banning people willy-nilly to harbor such loonies on his forum.
Won’t say how I know, but Rusty is correct in her first sentence.
Wait I should clarify: I don’t know about the protecting part, but sympathy, yes.
Whatever combination of fear and anxiety is responsible for his Nikita-pandering is in place currently, things will soon come to a screeching halt as Matt realizes that there are far worse things in this world than having an impotent retard writing “bad things” about you from the safety of a senior citizens basement in Illinois. Matt does not have a mental problem (that I am aware of) to hide behind and as such I hold him fully accountable for his actions.
And if this is not fear-based, but an ideological stance based on some sort of will to “protect the retards” that he’s taking as administrator of Shocklines, then I hope it’s worth it. I hope he’s thought this through. Anyway, we are awaiting the next reply from him. Time will tell. It is in the best interest if everybody to let him consider all aspects of this and give plenty of thought to his decisions. His current policy of bending over for Nicky, however, is simply not acceptable and will not be allowed to stand.
“Matt does not have a mental problem (that I am aware of)”
Actually, Matt is pretty open about having an (at times) nearly debilitating mental illness which he controls with medication. Just thought I would clarify.
Thanks for the info. That certainly would go a long way towards explaining Matts completely bizarre stance of allowing Nicky to keep on “being Nicky” on Shocklines.
I submit for your enjoyment the following self-professed “professional writer” known as Cliff Burns. This guy is so full of himself that he is thoroughly convinced he is a professional writer simply because he has been hacking away at the written word for 25 years. He claims hundreds of short story publishing credits and has a few POD novels floating around, which are supposedly being made into movies. This is just the kind of writer who deserves a go here at the rusty nail. Please give him a warm welcome.

OMG. The irony in this entry is priceless.
Aspiring writers are humble, and look up to folks like him. Wannabe writers are . . . like him!
Also, I loved the way Emily launched into him in the comments on that Mediabistro article from a couple of years ago.
Nonetheless, Matt’s personal difficulties should not be an excuse for allowing bad behavior on the part of Nicky on SL. Nor should he do so for Philbin and Dagstine.
Philbin’s really hasn’t been around there from what I can tell. Last time I remember him posting was a link to an interview with some tin-foil nuts, but he refrained from “sheeple” talk. Dagstine said something dumb, everyone slapped him around for it, and then Philbin made one post to get things back on track (which was drama free), and I haven’t seen him since.
Currently there is still no reply from him regarding this matter, even though he’s been online several times and even made a couple of posts. Perhaps he thinks that this will go away if he puts his fingers in his ears are sings “We all live in a Yellow Submarine” hard enough? I think not. It will not.
Matt, matt, matt… oh dear. ;D
Oh lawl Rusty you gotta check out Lewis on VF. He’s got Nicky’s panties in a knot again!
Hurry before Nicky goes “to the press in Scotland” and ruins Lewis’ chances of ever working fast food again!!!
“one quick e-mail and you won’t be able to flip burgers anywhere soon.”
I think he left out “even” from in between even and be.
Like Nicky knows anything about flipping burgers…
Little Nikita, when will you learn you have no power over us?
