Nikita’s back bragging about his HTML skillz.
Updated — the reading room section has the update and the stories there have the full html treatement.
The stories that got the HTML treatement that rivals many of the blog e-zines out there are The Statue (2004) and Inquisition Revisited (2010.)
Fuck “the HTML treatement.” Howzabout a little spelling treatment, Nicky?
I have a few more contributors just joining the fray with this one and I am trying to decide on the typesetting for this to try to keep he cost down.
Do these new writers know they’re joining “the fray” instead of “the roster”? Does anyone know what he means by this typesetting to keep the cost down nonsense? It’s all electronic with POD, so I don’t get his point.
If you’re looking for the old version of The Fandom Writer, that’s over on WordPress.com because they have a high tolerance for content.
Translation: he feels secure in the knowledge that WordPress won’t delete his account for using it to publish libelous material.
I am just waiting for the slash writers to get pissed off again with the version of this story appearing on my blog’s subpages.
And where, exactly, will you go looking for evidence of your fantasy coming true, Peaches? Down your own shorts? Or, like Chris Matthews, do you simply wait for a tingle to go up your leg? Seriously, Peaches, what is it with this obsession of yours for baiting pro authors? It’s getting really stale, especially the fourth time around.
So those of you who go around turning Harry Potter into a poofter, I guess you never read this short story — it’s targeted at the people who do things to copyrighted characters that shouldn’t been done especially if the characters are actually a minor.
Um, I thought that was Dumbledore. Anyway, Nicky, you’re lying again. You’ve said over and over, ad nauseum, for the past five or six years that you wrote that masturbatory fantasy story about Poppy and Janrae because you hate them. You made up some excuse about getting back at them for something neither one of them ever did, but that’s it — just a lame excuse for your unleashed, and misdirected, venom. A full-blown schizophrenic has a better grasp on reality than you do, Nicky.
Yeah I really want my sister reading that crap online because she’s at the age now where she’s finding stories online and reading them.
Because kids under the age of 14 are incapable of reading anything online? Hopefully, she can detect most of the spelling, if not grammatical, errors in your dreck, Nicky. Give her some credit. I have to believe she’s at least a little brighter than you; practically everyone is.
He concludes his entry with this unintentionally hilarious gem:
. . . go and check my main website out and check the magazine out. Ignore what the tags say because I don’t write with erotic content or publish erotic content for that matter.
He doesn’t write with any content, truth be told.
The Statue is hilarious. It’s Nicky ripping off Rod Sterling, even going so far as to appear every so often to help narrate the story while holding a cigerette.
Only instead of appearing before and after the “story” he keeps doing it, even during the lame story itself. Of course that’s not enough it’s filled to the brim with many other references to himself lol.
Primo erotic content! Here’s an edited version for all you sleep-slack fetishists out there:
“I have a sleeping bag in the truck. I keep one in the truck at all times in case of emergencies. She went to the car to get the black-colored sleeping bag that she seems to keep in the back of the truck, it was almost like she would camp in the truck at times when she knows she has a long drive ahead of her. The type of bag she was using resembled that of a mummy. Sitting there in her sleeping bag against a wall staring at that statue. She looked like a half wrapped Pharohess when she was sitting there. She seemed to fall asleep moments after her notes were done, hood pulled around her face and laying flat upon her back. She looks so peaceful when she is in that cocoon of hers. Looks like she is in a lucid state of dreaming when she is resting like that. It almost looks like she wasn’t alive. Figured I should put a mirror to her to see if she is still breathing, damn my imagination. She was in no shape to walk so Albert and Zachery carried her up the stairs. She was still in her sleeping bag so it was easy to lift her.”
Are you hot yet? Also, I presume it goes without saying that The Nickster secured official permission to use the Picasso estate’s copyrighted images on his page?
“She was still in her sleeping bag so it was easy to lift her.”
RAEP TIEM
The original Fandom Writer!
Happy, happy! Joy, Joy
Go get ’em, Cuss!
“I am trying to decide on the typesetting for this to try to keep he cost down.”
– I’m pretty sure he means he’s going to go and do everything good typesetters warn people against. POD costs are based on page count, so anything you can do to reduce the page count would mean a cheaper book. These things include: making the margins smaller, using an especially narrow font (typeface) lowering the kerning, making the line spacing the smallest you can, making the font smaller, removing white-space where-ever possible (not forcing chapters to start on a new page, decreasing the space for indents, etc), removing any sort of interior illustrations. All of these things hinder readability, although that’s not really a problem with the case in point.
Indeed.
with some fonts you can go smaller without losing readability. I was comparing two standard trade paperbacks to determine about font size. 6 x 9
One of them was from Paladin Press. 220 pages of 12 pt times roman.
The other was from St. Martin’s. 300 pages at 10 pt times roman.
Both were non-fiction. (I have more non-fiction than fiction on my shelves).
Both were heavy on pictures.
My impression was that Paladin Press was trying to fatten up a too thin book. 10 pt Times Roman worked just fine for St. Martins.
But I would not try that with garamond
Isn’t that process what he usually calls editing?
Has Nicky figured out that two of his most-hated nemesis’s, Keene and SanGiovanni, are now officially (and publicly) dating? I would think such a revelation would send him into an apoplectic frenzy…
I tend to be very out of the loop, but I thought Keene was married.
He’ll have an apoplexy alright. We’ll know he’s found out when we see an incoherent blog entry about it.
Cuss, Keene and his wife (perhaps now ex-wife) split up a few months ago, according to his blog. He was not a happy camper per his entry about that, so glad news about him and LSG.
MSG, obviously. Some days I am not so much for the accuracy in typing.
I’m glad for them. But it’s not surprising that a pariah like myself stays away from most centers of information.
You’re very out of the loop. Keene got divorced last January (according to his site and various press/blogs).
While I am sorry to hear that, I think that it is wonderful that he and Mary are dating.
I stay too crunched down in my own little corner of the net and life these days to keep track of people like I used to.
If it were not for Rusty, I would not keep track of the nitwits either.
Every time Nicky uses slang like “poofter”, it makes him look more and more like a retard. I seriously doubt he even understand what it means, but he heard it one day or saw it on a site and thought it looked cool so he’s been using it since.
I wonder what he thinks it means?
I’m actually scared to find out, Cuss.
I’m not one for making websites….but don’t most use anything BUT html anymore?
PhP I think is popular. Html is very old hat.
Quick point of order: your sites use HTML as well. Most sites do. PHP is just a language used at the back end to help generate the site code, hook the site up to databases and stuff like that. HTML is what tells the browser how to lay the text out.
Not that Nickolaus has much to boast about anyway. A quick look at his source code reveals poor markup (tag pairs left unclosed, invalid nesting), tables used for page layout rather than display of tabular data and obsolete tags (<font> and <center> were deprecated with the advent of HTML4, published back in 97-98…)
Then of course all those pictures used in place of text, which would fuck any text-to-speech browser up. That can’t be very accessible. Blind or partially-sighted people would have a hard time making sense of this site. It’s almost as if he doesn’t want submissions from the disabled or something!
Another message stuck in the moderation queue.
Sorry about that, Phil. I was out visiting a local orchid greenhouse this morning, but I freed your comment as soon as I got back.
I haven’t really used php (that I know of), but when I do generate code and upload it, I do my best to keep the keep the html pages fairly clean, and leave most of the arrangment instructions in the styles.css file.
I suck beans at it, but PageBreeze is useful, and I can always work with an existing .css file to modify it as necessary in any text editor, then reload the page in PB to see if it’s working with the html code the way I want it to. My stuff looks so much better than Nicky’s, and I only know enough to be dangerous.
Hey, folks — thanks for the kind words about me and B. He makes me very happy, and I’m crazy about him.
And yeah, I am kind of surprised our favorite crazyface hasn’t latched on to the evil cabal-like conspiracy of pacionedestruction that he could only assume our joining forces would become. :p
Conrats, Mary! Couldn’t happen to a nicer couple of people.
/fanboi gushing
We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming . . .
It’s probably because it’s real, and Nicky is not on speaking terms with reality.
Aww, thanks, Rusty. 😀 hee hee hee
Some one has been on a posting frenzy on f-book. All of these are within the last 24 hrs or so:
“deciding on what H.P. Lovecraft story will go into Issue 12 and this was published on 1923 so therefore the copyright expired on it and is in the public domain. I am excited about this one because I get to see T. Casey Brennan’s story in with Lovecraft.” Read this one a couple of times
“Updated Writings From The Grave — sign the damn guestbook if you read the stories or checked out the print published work, especially if you read Bite of the Spider. I have an idea to get the word out about the pubs, e-mail me and I will fill you in on the details. I shared this idea with a former classmate whose in a post rock outfit.”
” fucking long ass blog entry on my myspace.com blog about the progress of the new material I am writing. I am just stuck in the direction where to take two of them and working on another one which is already 3500 words. I am aiming at a Chicago magazine with this because other than my own mag, I have yet to be publish…ed in an Illinois magazine. I want to nail Chicago HARD”
“Take a look around all — busted my ass on the story pages. This beats having a WritersCafe.org profile because I can present the stories better than most of the e-zines out there. The WordPress employed e-zines are a fucking copout. My advice to them — learn HTML and ditch a blog format for an e-zine. I did the o…ld school layouts in my e-zine days, I designed all the layouts for the goplay.com e-zine myself. http://npacione.ulmb.com/
“The 14th Issue is the Italian-American Issue of the Gazette. Meaning the writers must have an Italian last name, and I am designing the cover to make it look like the flag of Italy but have some cool stuff to it — Italian-American penned Sci-Fi and Horror.”
And for some added lulz comments to mommy dearest on the next post. She went ghost hunting or something.
The mommy dearest ghost busters:
” will post the ghost hunt pics once they are off our cameras.”
“~Janet- yes we did get a picture. It is hard to see on a small screen so I am waiting for Dana to download her pictures… the guide said he saw 2 entities, we only see one… but the big screen will tell.”
“~Ginnie, I would love to listen to your EVPs, I don’t own a digital recorder but the places we were were too noisy anyway. If I did, I would go back to the place I took my scout troop ghost hunting… that would be interesting…
~Ginnie a…nd Janet- feel free to find my album of “Real Odd Things” The first 5 pictures, well, the story goes that periodically for days we heard like footstomps on the roof. We thought it was our goofy neighbor (those of you know who we are talking about) jumping across to our roof to annoy us. Mark went out on several occasions and saw nothing, so he decided to strike it up to raccoons. The last night we heard it, he ran out again into the backyard and shown the light up into the trees where, yes, indeed, there was a pair of raccoons. He ran back in to grab the digital camera and pointed it towards the raccoons and instead of raccoons, caught this series of photos. The last picture was taken in my living room like a couple years ago during Hurricane Alberto. The digital was sitting on the counter and on a whim, I grabbed it and asked if anyone would like their picture taken. The camera failed. My husband snatched it and caught this ecto. The following picture (not posted) the green haze in the room is gone and there is nothing, and the sky is bright…
Greasy-goth sayz: “You got to let me publish those mom — and if you want to write about your full account about the ghosts you got a slot in Issue 11. Jason picked up some eerie fog when I was standing in Bachelor’s Grove.
My apartment picked up an EVP — …famously got this published on Withersin Magazine. I will send you a copy of my mag because the mag I am pubbed in has a font that can’t be read in a small typeset.
Ghosts oin Tampa Bay — I think Stephanie has some material to work with because all my hallmarks when I write ghost fiction is the settings are really haunted.”
Yes I have the photos, and they will go up soon
The whole family is batshit insane. His mother liked to tell people she took me in and made me part of the family until I betrayed them and moved back home with mine from what I heard a few people say….this being the same woman who threw me out of their home not 15 minutes after I arrived without saying a single word to me. I’ve never even spoken to her for that matter.
By her standards, that sort of treatment probably does count as taking you in and making you part of the family. That’s the sort of dysfunction saved for the nearest and dearest…
Muwahahahaha
“Sigh… what appeared to be a ghost on the digital, turned out to be a reflection on a door… BUT I do have a couple of odd pictures in my photo album “Really Odd Pictures (I think it’s Pictures) that you are welcome to thumb through… did get an orb or 2 but nothing really to write home about.”
Also, one of Pickles ‘friends’ is trolling him on his page:
“Hey u ever visit iowa?”
So his mother is as batshit crazy as he is?
Always has been, PG.
I’ve spoken at length to her on the phone in the past. She backed my kid into a corner so hard and fast that my daughter panicked. I was already getting calls from Nicky and his grandmother, so what was one more idiot?
Nicky had gotten my unlisted phone number from the HWA directory.
Yup. She even trolls my blog, presumably looking for something she can use to report me, but not quite with the same fervor as Nikita himself. That gene pool isn’t promising.
Well, when you have someone like his mother for an example of “adult behavior”, no wonder Nicky’s as screwed up as he is.
Nicky’s rediscovered his Twitter account after a year and a half:
No wordpress from him: TL;DR.
Can someone sneak up on him with a tranquilizer dart or something?
He’s also been writing on his blurty, whatever the hell that is.
http://www.blurty.com/~nickolaus
The entry on August the 8th entitled “My FUCKING cousin” had one or two interesting points.
Love how he goes on about being paid $5 for a story is nothing. How much have you paid your authors again Nicky? Oh that’s right. Nothing. Zip, zilch, nada. How much can they buy one what you paid them?
I want to know where he shops, that he can buy 4 gallons of milk for $5.
Just read the “My FUCKING cousin” entry.
Nicky seems obsessed with touching his cousin’s balls, and is actually insulted at the insinuation that he’d be “better off flipping burgers”. Hey, the time for subtlety is over. Oh Nicky, that’s your family telling you point blank to get off the damn computer and do something else. They see that your “career” and “company” is just a fantasy, and they’re getting tired of it.
Oh, and I hope Mike destroys that damn guitar.
In the “My FUCKING Cousin” entry, he states that he’s going to use a character named Dick Sinu. 😉
I know. I am a token payment magazine and I also have a royalty scheme where I give an extra $5 to the author every time a book sells quoting their name on the order. Two of my contributors have made around $100 in just a couple of days from royalties from me. I always pay up. You can’t afford not too and end up with a bad rep. I notice how he is doing another “exposure only” issue. Isn’t that worse than $5 or am I just going mad? Lol!
Did anyone else notice that Nicolette added a ‘Chip in” fundraiser gadget to his site in an attempt to raise money to “fill his Chicago Card.” (I guess that’s some sort of mass transit bus/subway pass. Needless to say, he raised $0.
“Hey everyone! I’m the bad boy of the horror genre, the heir-apparent to Lovecraft! I’m totally metal! I’m a famous renegade writer! I can’t even afford a bus ticket. I get stranded on the corner on a regular basis. I’d ride home on a unicorn, but there’s nothing goth about unicorns!”
Aaand another-
Nicky’s new playground: http://darkwriters.ning.com
WTF? Do these publishers know that only a parent or legal guardian can sign a contract for a minor? There’s no friggin’ way Nicky would ever be appointed her legal guardian, even if he managed to live in the same state as his half-sister. I seriously doubt Sheryl knows about this.
New Blog: http://npacione.wordpress.com/2010/09/12/all-one-is/
The more interesting blog entries are here. That’s the place Jenny mentioned.
I wonder why he’s calling the fandom writer the old and new one because I reviewed it and barely anything was changed for both. It was only the name of the lady in the story that had changed in either verison. His spelling and grammar is still horrible either way.
To be honest, I normally don’t write slash and I lol’d at his story. It made me want to go and write some slash.
Peaches writes on his facebook wall:
“AII lost his etherealgazette@yahoo.com, servers you right you damn pigfucker. His main yahoo account is next. Someone is asking me for the entire situation with the cyberbully. I gave him all my own detective work. He lost his AC.com account because of my pounding the pavement.”
Chad : DAMN, you’re STILL havin’ trouble with that guy?!?!??! If I remember correctly, he’s been givin’ you grief for quite some time??? Well, it’s good to hear that he’s FINALLY starting to get his!!!
Pickles I didn’t threaten him but I scared him by saying, “I WILL find out who you are jackhole.” I got him swearing because put his cellphone up on the magazine listing so people can prank call the piece of crap. I am getting a etherealgazette e-mail at live.com so he doesn’t even try it. Here’s some of his doings http://angryinillinois.deviantart.com/. I screen capped his profile on a place called Author’s Pub. I did an article about this on my blog — check out Dirty Pool on npacione.wordpress.com.
Chad
I’ll check it out. i’m not gonna’ lie, I HAVE been a bit curious but didn’t want to ask what’s been goin’ on??? It’ll make for some good reading on my way in to class today!!!! Hey BTW, do you know anyone going to Riot Fest this year??? If …so, let them know that I have an extra 5-Day Wristband that gets you into ALL the shows, all the After Parties, and the Secret Shows that haven’t even been announced yet!!?!!? It’s a CRAZY line-up this year, too!!! Check it out here on Facebook. I’m gonna’ check out that blog right now.See More
Chad
Damn, that guy sure has a fetish with homosexuality, huh??? I was just checkin’ out his angryinillinois.deviantart site and have come to the conclusion that it seems that this guy has a TINY bit of clout in the unsigned literary world and b…ecause of that clout he’s got a few of his minions backing him up with EVERY and ANYTHING that he says with the hopes that he’ll give their worthless short-stories some attention and consequent publication at his Lafe Fossil Press!!! One sure does have a lot of supporters when he’s got something that they might POSSIBLY want, ya’ know?!?! The guy sounds like a REAL winner!?!??!
And just a short while ago:
As far as I’m concerned, every moment he spends chasing down cell phone info or trying to get yahoo accounts closed is a moment he’s not spending threatening someones child or ‘expanding’ his crappy stories, so it’s still a victory for the forces of good.
“There is nothing Goth about Pacione.”
There, I fixed it for him.
Nicky admits that he’s Lloyd Phillip Campbell: http://darkwriters.ning.com/group/horrorwriters/forum/topics/why-do-you-write-horror-1
Finally, the little turd fesses up.
Am I the only one scratching their head trying to figure out why 12 is coming out before 11? Why not…just change the numbers around?
Sadly, it probably makes perfect sense to him, and the explanation would probably make no sense to any of us. (You know, the ones who aren’t nukkin futs!)
It makes as much sense as Nicky’s thinking “triannual” refers to a page count of 180.
As expected after mentioning him on WordPress Nicky left a turd on Velvet Angst’s Deviantart account, there’s also some more fun in the comments on Nicky’s DA.
http://velvet-angst.deviantart.com/
He mentioned the Mina McGregor caper. Sweet!
For those who weren’t around for the Xanga days, that was the one in which someone posing as Mina McGregor, a kid with Down’s Syndrome, baited the Nickster with a writing contest.
The Mina McGregor episode was fabulous.
“The opposite sex became my plaything when I became 12 years old…”
As I posted on his DA, I hope women get to see this so they realize just what kind’a dick he is.
He proved right there he has no respect for anyone, including the opposite sex.
Which is probably why he’s a closeted homosexual. 😀
Personally, I want to know why he was still playing with dolls until he was 12. Maybe he traded in his Barbie for a G.I. Joe when he was 7, but still . . .
The last line just screams Freudian slip/ accidental euphemism:
This entry of Nicky’s has an awful lot of unintentionally funny things in it.
“I am going to do what Brian Keene did years ago with his Hail Saten blog, he had a few guest bloggers on there.”
Oh dear…
Another brilliant, and highly original idea from The Nickster. Um, yeah. At least he gave credit where due, although it’s not as if loads of vacationing columnists don’t routinely use guest writers to post articles.
The only kind of vacation that Nicky takes is from Reality.
Well, that vacation’s pretty permanent.
I giggled over him calling house of horrors covers eyesores when his are the ugliest and most impossible to read covers I’ve ever seeen. And he hates Mr. Keene, but is going to rip off one of his ideas? That made me LOL
@Melany: Nick seems to selectively forget that imitation is a form of flattery.
He truly does deserve every bit of satire and parody thrown at him as a just reward for his rampant hypocrisy and hate-mongering.
Lloyd Phillip Campbell joins the fun: http://darkwriters.ning.com/profile/LloydPhillipCampbell
The “real” person he made up?
Yowza. I love it.
Lloyd is Nicky’s “Harvey,” albeit a much hotter (and less furry) one.
I love how Lloyd’s picture is of Pacione hooked up and donating plasma, probably so he could buy another gay porn mag.
And I love what the shitweasel wrote:
I think it’s time to remind him why he’s such a fucking loser.
“I show the world a kind of horror that is written by a single, straight and available man. I am the most eiligble bachelor in the horror genre.”
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Um…no. He is the most repulsive, disgusting, repugnant piece of wasted flesh that the genre ever had the misfortune of being tainted by.
By “most eligible” he means “Least likely to have a girlfriend when you read this” since not even hookers would touch him.
“Lloyd” is really getting him wound up.
And Nikki libels someone and exposes himself as a liar in one fell swoop. Better yet someone calls him on his fibbing over Lloyd.
You eat cyber-bullies and make them “horror targets?” Only in your wet dreams, Nicky.
P.S. He still hasn’t followed through on his threat to make me a horror target. Must be too scared to try.
Awww I thought Lloyd was a real person who only contacted you through his girlfriend to prove he wasn’t as gay as you are Nicky? I’m going to cry myself to sleep knowing he was just one of the voices in your head. :p
I couldn’t resist. I wrote the first part of my Statue parody and posted it.
You’ll find it just as confusing as the original!
Yeah, the Sparkle Pony has been spamming my emails since 2 days ago. Guess his free internet time respawned.
He’ll use up the hours soon enough and be back offline.
It isn’t like his broke ass can afford real internet, or his family will let him have it.
Looks like the pathetic cum-stain went through my old blogs, since he’s using a lot of stuff against me that I put in them. Guess Mommy helped him learn how to come out swinging.
I give it … fourteen days before he’s kicked out of that Ning group.
At the rate he’s going, Mike, fourteen days is a rather generous estimate.
I don’t know. The woman who runs it, Sherri Gambino, is a Legion of Nitwit 2.0 member, who’s been banned from Keene’s board, Horror Mall, The Haunt and caused bad blood in other places. She might shelter him.
For someone who isn’t gay Nicky sure knows a lot about being gay. You’re sure making yourself look gayer every day nicky.
Nicky’s terms and information on the gay community has frequently been more up-to-date than my own and I’m a member of it.
Oh hell no, not gambimbo again! What a stupid twat. Since she left Keene’s because she was oh so mistreated for being a woman(HA!), maybe she won’t put up with him long
Look what I found
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.horror/browse_frm/thread/368efad6caba02b5#
I -do- hope he starts something over there. There are several posters who take no prisoners…
Should I just post a link to P&E regarding Lake Fossil Press?
That just might be enough to make him go ballistic, Mike. 😉
From a thread about horror films on his new ning group.
“My main forray in watching horror films are ghost stories and Lovecraftian horror, but my favorite vampire movie is The Forsaken. I love the ending of it and it’s one of those movies, if given the rights to adapt it to an anthology collection — I would do it in a heartbeat because it’s written in the desolate highway genre of horror. It’s a vampire story for the blue collar set — the vampires use the trunk of a muscle car to sleep in during the day and the guy quotes Enter Sandman by Metallica. I won’t touch Cthulhu because they made the damn thing into a Poppy Z. Brite penned type plot. Someone also did this with Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven and I think whoever did both films need to be hung at the Gallows. It’s because of Lovecraft’s stances on such a subject. He would been turning over in his grave over it.”
The bottom of this page:
http://www.back2stonewall.com/2010/03/unintentional-gay-horror-movie-jeepers.html
Sums up Forsaken pretty well.
Bwahahahahaha!
I’m waiting for Nicky to try watching this one. It’s right up his alley.
LOL “Ignores attractive woman for 90 minutes” is Nicky in a nutshell. He’ll pick a computer and looking up new definitions of gay…err sorry writing his ‘horror stories’ over a girl every single damn time.
http://spookyfiction.wikia.com/wiki/The_Ethereal_Gazette
OHMYGOD this is totally editable. Must…resist…rewrites…..
*snicker*
Yes. Yes it is. 😉
Little dumbass is on a rant over at his ning group. I don’t think he even noticed my response.
http://npacione.wordpress.com/bully-a-study/
I think he needs some cheese to go with his whine party.
*snorts* “What kind of example are you setting for your kids Cox?
We could ask that of YOU nicky. What kind of example are you setting for your son and your sister?
Wow. There are soooooo many things wrong with that “article” as he calls it. It deserves its own entry, really, but I don’t have the time just yet. I’ll get to it later.
Nicky spent the last couple of paragraphs dissing this guy, James Grant.
Man, if only someone would pass that information along to Mr. Grant to get his reaction. It’d be interesting, to say the least. He’s not afraid to get his hands dirty in a flamewar with anyone, Nicky Pacione included.
Just got an email from him that’s addressed to a whole lot of people. Lot of mindless ranting, and apparently he’s going to come to Connecticut to beat us all up. I’ll parse/snark it as soon as I get the chance.
I got that email too, nearly put me off breakfast, seeing that so early in the morning.
I got a dandy of a message on Facebook this morning, and for those interested, here ’tis, completely unedited:
Subject: fuck for brains
So, if Nicky is the one who has it made with a “career”, then how is it that I just bought a house in the last couple of weeks?
He’s projecting again. Booooooring!
Congrats, Ben. Woo-hoo!
Thank you, Rusty!
A little information about my new place: it has just one kitchen, and the only basement dwellers are two or three noisy crickets that need to get chased out of there once I close on it later this month, and my friends and I start renovations.
Can’t you losers respect my copyrights? I am targeting everyone who stalked me place to place, blog to blog, and ning to ning. Do you think it is amusing to steal someone’s private postings and put them up on a comment area like some motherfucking faggot. Baupader, you hide behind being a born again Christian but in truth you’re a trolling faggot who goes cruising for your male honey.
In case you hadn’t noticed, Peaches, the last time Baup commented here was four days ago. You’re just a smidge late to the party. /sarcasm
He’s a smidge late to everything.
Hey Nicky, what’s this email you sent me about “putting a cigar out between my eyes and then putting me on my ass.”
Is that supposed to be a threat?
“Do you think it is amusing to steal someone’s private postings and put them up on a comment area like some motherfucking faggot.”
Yes.
And you hide behind being a ‘christian’ but think death threats and screaming cussing fits are OK Nicky. Not to mention you harass and stalk all of your imaginary enemies and spam their e-mail with dozens of incoherent messages and scream into their voice mails. Stop being such a hypocrite.
Actually, Nick, I have an issue with you over a lot of things; the most recent one is your belief women are your “playthings”.
Sorry, barbie, we’re not playthings and I hope the next female that sees you kicks your pathetic, sissy ass in.
Soon as I read the first line all I heard was Cartman’s voice.
Respect mae authoritae!
I think from now on, every comment to his blog posts, every post after his on message boards, should just be: tl;dr.
Holy henchmen, Batman! Nicky left this, in all boldface, for Angry on the Rightly Conservative Ning site.
Because a Conservative website is the perfect place for one its mentally challenged members to rant about all the homo henchmen who are chasing him around in his dreams.
Nicky nicky nicky you hide behind being a christian and conservative to excuse your being an asshole. People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones (have someone explain that to you if you need to) and just because some place isn’t on google maps doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. One of my jobs isn’t on their maps, but it sure as hell is a real building with a lovely leaking ceiling and air conditioning that works only when it feels like it.
“Man why the hell are you so judgmental? I never did anything to you but you’re hating on me like I am some kind of pariah. ”
“if you have an issue with me, take it up via e-mail nickolauspacione@vampirefreaks.com. I did nothing to you but you have to go around dumping on me like I am a port-a-let. “
I got one as well. We’re turning it into a positive interactive thread. 😀
I’ve always loved how Nicky inadvertently brings people together, and congrats to you and the other people in that thread for all the good stuff that’s going on in their lives right now.
Thank you, Lewis. I certainly hope your literary career is going well. Your gay ghost story was excellent!
Nicky learns martial arts from watching TV.
Odd. He used to say he learned them by reading magazines. Whatever the case, it’s pretty obvious he never learned them IRL; I hear he giggles and runs whenever he meets an “enemy” face to face.
Actually, he says he learned how to write fight scenes from watching TV which is equally laughable, since such scenes typically aren’t any where close to realistic.
Of course he doesn’t really have any fight scenes in his written work, so what does that tell you?
Also note that he claims the House of Spiders “fight scene” was based off an 80s video game. Hey Nikki, trying to ride on the coattails of Scott Pilgrim? Watch it, he’ll kick your ass.
That’s nothing! I learned my martial arts from Diamond Dave’s Ninja School on YouTube.
Don’t go ninjaing anybody who don’t need ninjaing. Valuable life lesson, that.
Obviously he’s following the old rule of “write what you know.” He doesn’t know a thing about sex, but he’s had his ass handed to him many, many times.
Lloyd contributed that he likes to write gay, lesbian and transgendered erotica. Lets watch what happens next…
He’s even signing his replies “Lloyd Phillip Campbell” now. Good lord.
He’s got some gems on FB today. Can’t believe the comment about his own son:
He doesn’t understand the difference between “week” and “month.” Of course, he also thinks 1994 was yesterday, and high tops are still cool . . .
Six months premature?
Holy Guinness Book of World Records, Batman!
3 months early you idiot Nicky…and to further show what an idiot you are he was born early due to a physical genetic defect that I’ve likely had since birth…I should know I had the damn tests done to find out why he was born early, but you are too much of a fucking asshole and idiot to know that.
“Writing a very elaborate “fuck you” letter to everyone who tried to make me look like I am less than human.”
So, he’s writing to himself now.
“I’m going to take it to the court of public opinion.”
Yes because no actual court will waste time on his whiney complaints.
Also public opinion seems to find him guilty of being a shit writer and a shittier person.
He’ll just take public opinion to the court of public opinion, then.
If there’s any justice in the world, that court won’t even hear the case.
The court of public opinion has already found him guilty of being too gay to function and a douchenozzle.
Nikki, you can’t figure out your own head, let alone anyone else’s. Furthermore, you don’t need us to prove you’re less than human – you’ve been doing that all on your own.
He’s on a roll with the rants lately, another tl:dr one on WordPress, though he did kind of declare how much he loves being referred to as Sparkle Pony and Shitweasel.
He made a mention of P&E, which means he must have seen my response. And he somehow thinks they’re in on…well…something.
I think Nikki’s a widdle upset that the only effect his mean old email had was to be ignored and reported to GMail for TOS violations. You see Nikki, in what we call Reality, you are not permitted to do all the same things you accuse others of doing.
Wait, don’t tell me Nicky is being ….. gasp …… a big fat fucking hypocrite!
I wonder how many of his e-mails we can get shut down for harrassment and threats just to piss him off.
He also visited Angry’s Deviantart account, apparently he’s set the NYPD on him, though he also wants Angry to go on a talk show with him. I’m assuming that’s because Nicky has finally worked up the courage to make a public confession of his unrequited love.
“I am about to take this fight to national TV on the talk show circut”
“You better hope the New York Police Department finds you and arrests you. They will be a lot kinder than what I am plannning to do”
I’m betting he wants to get on Springer again…or Maury.
He does, Melany. He’s been using that threat for years, but he wants to be the center of attention, up on stage, flinging his wild accusations, rather than be just a schmuck in the audience, like he was last time.
I didn’t know either of those shows were still on the air. He made reference somewhere to “Maury and Wilkos.” Now, Steve Wilkos is doing ads for Goldrush, which sort of implies he’s no longer working security for Jerry Springer, but what he has to do with Maury Povich is beyond me.
I only know they’re still on the air because we watch them occasionally at work when we’re sick of soaps (no cable so we make do with what we’ve got LOL)
One of the recipients on Nikita’s infamous group email of love forwarded it to me. Can anyone venture a guess what good he thinks it’ll do to include support-at-somethingawful-dot-com on the correspondence? He’s not even a member there. He refused to join, even after several people offered to pay for an account for him, because he knew he’d never last five minutes without a bunch of people poking fun at him.
Whee, Sabledrake Enterprises ad! Welcome, new customers! Mention you were referred by everyone’s favorite greasy little basement-dwelling hair clot and we’ll include a free book with your order!
Karen, m’dear, at this rate we’re going to need matching outfits. Which, frankly, scares me because you’d probably pick out the shoes …
More fan fic than original? It’s possible. I haven’t run the numbers in a while. But either way, it’s loads of both I’ve written … and so what? The worst of it’s still better than the best thing he’ll ever manage.
What’s the sudden obsession with peoples’ occupations? Anything beyond the usual extrapolatory envy he has over peoples’ writing and sex lives and having their OWN addresses and phone numbers?
And here I’d been feeling all left out! Awww!
— C.
Dunno, Christine. He went all ghey on me in the last email. Hell, he’s gayer than Liberace at this point.
He, who sits on his ass in a basement while collecting disability and playing on the computer the whole day, has the nerve to think he’s better than people who actually work.
God help him if he tries going even further in portraying the victim of some kind of mass bullying conspiracy once the public finds out he’s a lazy basement dweller collecting government money. Man, the people will turn on him so fast, he’ll never know what hit him.
I didn’t get one of those emails. Why did he leave me out again?
I feel so unwanted.
I want to stuff worms up his nose.
I feel a little neglected, too. He left me off the email.
Okay, he did make a reference to me on his latest blog post.
The only places that had my unlisted phone number were the directories of HWA and SFWA. We know for a fact that he did not have what it took to join SFWA back in 04.
I also know that he was spamming the membership of HWA using the directory. I was told that by an a woman was in charge of their newsletter at the time.
I got a little mention myself when he was rambling about putting IOWA into the next issue of his magazine. After checking the definition of queerbait online, one who attracts the lust of gay men, I can only assume that calling me that is yet another symptom of the deep and unrequited love he holds for me. Nickypoos, even if we weren’t on separate continents it could never be, I’m simply just not aroused by greasy little hunchbacks.
Regarding Peaches and his looooonnnnnnnnngggggg tl:dr emails:
I have a couple of theories.
A) He is undiagnosed autistic/assberger. Think about it, he has 7 bazillion emails that he cc’s/bcc’s just like Kevin Havens and Christian Chandler. Check out their ED pages. Hint NSFW
B) He is a doll fucker. He has written about e-wives, e-girlfriends, and about how he is about to get a girlfriend. Shipping from California, or overseas….
Was just looking at the Ning and his latest comments, he’s claiming to have the influence to close Lulu storefronts. Anyone on there who feels like calling his bluff is welcome to challenge him to kill mine, http://stores.lulu.com/pandarampantpress
It’s not like I’d get all teary eyed if it went bye bye anyway.
Peaches left me these on my dark writers page
“That’s that you damn plagiarist — plagiarizing two of my novellas. Then saying I am a fan fiction writer. Man fuck off — I’ve been published for my work. What’s your sorry excuse of a human being have to say for it. You lie about my son like a huge asshole. Maybe I should knock up your wife so you have to look at my face the rest of your natural born life.”
“I appreciate that you stop stealing my messages from facebook. That’s making you look like a cyberbully. I am going to confront your boss, and man he’s a huge COWARD. He goes around posing as my pen name using old pictures of me — that’s the classic cyberbully and I will not let you pull that crap here.”
One of these days, little Nikita is going to make sense.
Another day, another . . . rape threat.
Mike, if he ever makes sense, it’ll be completely by accident.
I know… that sounded ludicrous to me as I wrote that.
If he could even get it up to rape someone you can bet they’d take the morning after pill or have an abortion rather than carry Nicky’s kid.
Interesting comment someone’s just posted on that Darkwriters site.
I think he might not react too well to that. You’ll be able to hear him blow his top from the next state.
Just noticed this.
http://darkwriters.ning.com/events/updated-website-with-two
With such fantastic prizes I’m sure his email inbox will explode with contest submissions.
So he’s going to re-use somebody’s reprint that he used years ago in something else. How much you want to bet his original contract didn’t claim rights to keep using it whenever and wherever he felt like it, forever and ever?
he doesn’t give people a contract.
He used to do contracts, but in at least one case, he got pissed off at the person, tore it up, and informed her that it was no longer valid. I’m sure he doesn’t bother going through the pretense anymore, but way back when, he did.
“…so you have to look at my face the rest of your natural born life.”
Even he knows he’s so fucking ugly it can be used as a threat.
Wonder how many mirrors he owns?
Given all the pictures he takes of himself, he doesn’t need any mirrors.
And does he really think any woman who woke up from her drunken/drugged stupor and saw him leering at her wouldn’t a) press rape charges against him b) run screaming to the pharmacy for the morning after pill and if that fails get an abortion rather than carry his child?
Darkwriter’s admin is protecting him. One of the writers from EG10 posted a comment about not being paid, or even told you’ve been printed, and it’s been deleted already.
That explains why I couldn’t find any “interesting comment” last night when I went looking for one.
Did anyone get a screengrab of it?
We have a new Nitwit board!
Seems so, Mike. Should we call it Jello2 or simply Pudding?
There’s a thread on there now from the same guy as got deleted yesterday asking people to name the worst short story ever…
Who wants to flood it with Pacione titles?
Who wants to link to the thread?
No.
It asked how many writers he was planning on telling he was publishing this time round. Then it named 4 writers who weren’t told that they’d been printed and asked him if that was a good way to run a magazine.
Here Rusty:
http://darkwriters.ning.com/forum/topics/worst-story-ever
Although I normally wouldn’t enable, I just can’t resist the urge to at least try and equalize Nick’s karmic stain on our planet.
Hmm. No replies yet. Bummer. It’s a leading question, but in and of itself, can’t possibly be considered worthy of thread deletion.
http://darkwriters.ning.com/forum/topics/a-question-about-ethereal
I think that’s a very telling comment that one posted about him being turned on sexually by violence. Not to mention disturbing. Can anyone say sociopath?
Did it get deleted? I couldn’t find it…
Although to be fair, I’m still waking up at the moment.
It was deleted but it’s been kept in someone’s reply to it.
Some of the comments have been deleted, but J. Smythe’s quote is still there in one of Nicky’s own replies.
He learned his fight scenes from TV, movies, and CONTRA?
For a tough guy who swears he’ll beat us all up, this pretty much shows that he’ll try to fight like the loser characters he writes.
Which means he’d get his ass handed to him.
Seriously, read the fight scene from his The Crow ripoff “Ghosts of War”, and you’ll see he has almost no grasp of how hand to hand combat works.
It seems like he’d at least try to get some real life research into it. He doesn’t have to go out and pick fights, all it takes is interviewing martial arts teachers, guys at the local gym, and bouncers and the like.
But that would involve leaving Granny’s basement, and would involve improving his writing.
He is such an idiot.
Back during my most stressed out period, the merest twitch of someone’s shoulders during an argument would make my fists come up without a conscious thought.
Your membership to Dark Writers is pending approval
Hello, Mr. Smithers*
Your profile details must be approved by the Administrator before you can become a member of Dark Writers. You will receive an email once your profile is approved. (Withdraw Request)
*Not the real name
How long has that membership approval been pending? Haven’t seen anything from Gambino show up on the latest activity section of the main page for at least a couple of days. One would think membership approval wouldn’t go ignored for too long, especially if she’s got it set to email her when someone submits an application. On the other hand, maybe she treats membership applications like friend requests on Facebook, or MySpace, or whatever, and doesn’t get notifications unless she logs in. Maybe she’s MIA from her own board.
I honestly have no idea. A friend of mine was trying to set up an account yesterday. When I joined it was instant approval.
I wonder if she’s changed the settings since she issued that global “Behave, children!” email (or whatever it was) that Cuss posted about. Fine, if she wants to approve membership, but if she’s going to do that, she needs to check up on the place at least once or twice a day.
It was instant approval when I joined also. It’s very strange.
Marc was the last person to join. I wonder if he had to await approval, or whether his membership was instant. Because . . . if his was instant, something happened between his joining, and now. I’m curious to know.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Nikki got a bug in her ear about the “pissblogers,” and other people that cut him down when he gets whiny.
That may be it, Mike. He did post that remark about a troll “among us, so be on your toes.” Kinda like shutting the barn door after the horse already escaped, but so be it.
Now he’s giving advice on writing fight scenes.
The discussion is taking a serious turn for the lulz.
I had to giggle at one of his replies:
Nicky: My Fandom Writer 2 story — I am in middle of writing a female on female drunken brawl. You don’t see females get into a bloodied brawl in a story but this would be an example of this.
Obviously he’s never read Needful Things by Stephen King. There’s one hell of a bloody, deadly brawl/knife fight in there between two women.
He’s a *cough*expert*cough* at photography, too, I see. There’s some pretty good freeware out there (GIMP, for instance), but Nicky only advocates freeware and open source stuff because he can’t afford Adobe products, or Office.
Obviously he has not read any modern fiction or watched the right shows on the telly.
I don’t think he reads anything to be honest. I’m surprised he hasn’t gone off on you Ant for refuting his statement that Cops and Contra are great resources for fight scenes.
I have several books on the choreography of fights. They are interesting, but rather naive about how actual fights work.
Fights are usually very fast and over in less than fight minutes. The fellow who knocked me down for my car keys? It was so fast that I did not know what hit me. One moment I am walking through the door and the next I”m on the floor and he has my head pinned to the ground with his knees.
I didn’t even see it coming. And I was a damned good street fighter at that age.
If he’s basing his fight scenes off COPs and video games and movies from the 80s and 90s he’s beyond help LOL
He has no grip on fighting. the only times he has ever been in a fight was when they used him for the basketball.
i know you’ve been asked this question before, Mel, but how tall is Nicky?
Nice to see Nicky’s as humble as always.
http://spookyfiction.wikia.com/wiki/Lake_Fossil_Press#Arkham_House_Publishers
“He relies on the sales of the two collections he wrote to pay some of the key writers and pays them when he gets paid. ”
That says a lot doesn’t it? I notice there’s no mention that he’s NEVER paid any of his ‘key writers’.
Is that page locked for edits?
Sure looks like it, Baup. There are little locks not only by every section, but also by every link. Weird, but maybe that’s what Nicky meant on Dark Writers when he said it was messed up beyond repair, or whatever. Thing is, it looks like he’s the one who was doing the edits that got it locked. Go figure.
“Hell yeah — one of my alumni got a publishing company going. I might help reboot a stayed company into an anthology publisher. The offer is on the table and see what Lake Fossil Press can do in helping this publisher out.”
He’s trying to tell people how to spell their own names now…
