Nicky finally discovered that he published Rick Moore’s story “Electrocuting the Clowns” under Doc Byron’s name in his anthology A Library of Unknown Horrors, which has been removed by Lulu. As much as I’d like to think he read about it here first, it was probably the notice from Lulu that did the trick. The paperback version, called Nickolaus Pacione Delivers: A Library of Unknown Horrors, is still available for sale.
I’m still a bit confused as to what Nicky intends to do about it. In one place, he implies he wants to use the story, but make Rick Moore use Doc Byron’s pseudonym, as if Rick (or anyone else) would ever want to be associated with that name.
Jesus fucking Christ — Byron, I am going to have the original creator of the story you sent take over the pen name so it saves me all the trouble.
Say it ain’t so, Nicky. *shakes head in disbelief*
The funsies don’t stop there, folks.
I am planning a second volume for my namesake series but I have to rework the other anthology because of the asshole Byron doing what he did so I am looking for a replacement story for his in both Issue 6 and the anthology. I am glad I didn’t pay the asshole after learning about this, so I am doing a 4theluv project that will carry into the next year.
One, this tells me that Lulu told him to remove that story, despite Nicky’s earlier thought about letting it ride, but possibly changing the credit. Two, Nikita’s practically dancing with glee that he didn’t pay for that plagiarized story — so much so that he wants to celebrate by doing another 4theluv project to make up for his loss.
FUCK! Byron — just fucking retire from being a writer or publisher period because it’s making it hard for me to publish the honest writers.
Um, what? Nicky’s own poor reputation couldn’t possibly have anything to do with that, could it?
Did he really write the story Blood Ties in Ethereal Gazette: Issue 6? That is my question — he must scan up a copy of the typewriter draft if he has that. I wish I can fix the anthology or the magazine because that issue was the first time I wrote as Lloyd Phillip Campbell.
Someone must have vacuumed out the cobwebs between his ears. Maybe he read about that one here, but I don’t see it listed in his Lulu store.
So, Nicky’s going to send the guy one of his famous fraudulent PayPal invoices? Way to go, Peaches! You are aware that using PayPal to send phony invoices is fraud, aren’t you? In the immortal words of Bugs Bunny, “what a maroon.”
Aside from the threads on Shocklines, further information can be found in comments on my Take 3 entry.
First off, the title of this post is amazing!
Nikita FB updates:
Nicky billing someone will always make me lol, as if he’s someone who has money coming to him and isn’t typing those threats from a dingy basement cluttered to hell.
Some emails I’ve received…he used to say we were as bad as those who committed those acts on 9/11, and now…
Lake Fossil Press is owned by me. Bottom Line — and you’re working with that cunt Cox, I am sending things out secretly now, just so you faggots don’t sabotage it. You should have let Lame Goat Press publish my novella. You might never know — I might been doing their hardcover deal. You fucks don’t run shit — just run an abomination factory with a fake domain where one of the “writers” write as my grandmother. You’re a fucking fraud dick for brains. Excuse while I go sell your phone number to a tranny listing. I am sure your girlfriend was born with a dick and an adam’s apple. I doubt you own the copyrights to those covers. Writings From The Grave is mine you motherfucking faceless coward — you’re nothing but a 9/11 Terrorist. You rammed the planes into the world trade center, you tried to hijack my company but that’s not going to happen. Get a life asshole.
Here is where Nicky is so desperate to look like a victim he is willing to tell the world a girl (Sam) is bullying him.
You don’t know everything motherfucker. You’re not taking over anything. I wasn’t begging for help. I got help without begging and the person is doing it as a favor — I am guessing you came up with a fake name and fake idenity like Liz Bean or those other fake names such as Dick Sinu — I really doubt he really exists like you have permissions to use the “covers”. It’s still my company — and you’re using http://ettherealgazette.com or lakefossilpress.com and .net and .info. I guess you really are smoking crack. I am exposing Cox for being a cyberbully too — setting a really bad example for her daughters by calling me a disease. Lake Fossil Press isn’t Lake Fossil Press Publishing. So it’s my venture — I started it from the ground up and will continue to run it you asshole. You never were in charge of anything — so if you excuse me I am going to make a fake e-mail address of you and use your real one to get you a girlfriend with dick.
I’m waiting for the day he accuses Sister Teresa of giving him “swirlies” in the school toilet…
Oh wow, I went and took a look at the cult he’s an admin of. Read the first paragraph of their description.
“For all lovers of supernatural romance or fiction, urban fantasy, and horror novels. Some of the main authors we discuss are Laurell Hamilton, Anne Rice, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Christine Feehan, Charlaine Harris, Kim Harrison, Kelley Armstrong, and J.R. Ward-although there are so many more which we can share and enjoy. I especially like stories set in the real world with supernatural characters, or where normal people undergo unusual supernatural or paranormal experiences(this describes a genre which has been referred to as “urban fantasy”). ”
Looks like Nicky’s finally loosening up on his no romance/erotica stance.
Oh, look. Nicky’s spinning faster than a gyroscope:

http://therustynail.wordpress.com/2010/10/03/electrocute-this-clown/#comment-36634
Nicky’s not at fault for anything (in his own mind). I don’t see any apology to Rick, nor do I see any indication that Nicky would have done the right thing on his own. It took Lulu to make this happen. His comments are basically whiny “poor me” laments. That, and I think it’s absolutely hilarious that he seems to be trying to recruit Ken (Goldman?) on my blog to send him another story. WTF?
That’s the same guy who, when Macey was telling of her illnesses, whined in the comments of her confessions about himself instead of offering her support.
I love how he responds to old threads and never current ones…
Leo Wolfe / Theo Wolfe?
Theo Wolfe? Nicky must have forgotten about that one when he posted at SL, because he sure remembered it later, didn’t he?
Nicky’s reactions could have been worse.
Agreed, I’m pleasantly surprised that he hasn’t been squealing more about his usual accusations of plagiarism.
Have you checked Leo’s profile? Shows all his posts that Matt deleted. I like that: Yuku saves copies of posts Matt baleets.
Some more Nicky FB musings:
“my politics turned one person away — it happens. Been accused of lashing out at the self-published, well not really lashing out but when I tell someone off it’s because they paid at least 2 grand to get their book published with generic covers and shit.”
I’m sure Mr. Campbell is relieved to know that. *rolls eyes*
So, Nicky’s daddy’s name is Wolfe . . . or Wofe. Which is it?
From Shocklines http://shocklinesforum.yuku.com/topic/16317/t/New-book-places-new-different-spin-on-vampire-genre.html
“Sighion — fuck you. Loss of Blood is not meant to be funny. That was part of my actual police report I did under my own name then wrote the other half as Wolfe. How could you even make fun of something like someone getting stabbed five times. You’re in with the plagiarizer. Beero, go to hell with your crap domain — writing as my grandmother, come on. Grow the fuck up, both of you. Don’t ever make fun of my stabbing again. That is something if you actually said to my face, I would actually knock your teeth in over it. I actually fought the guy who stabbed me off but I was laying in five pools of blood that night. So what you said, go fuck yourself. ”
Not one, not two but five pools of blood! That’s how hardcore the Nickster is…
Actually, wouldn’t bleeding out five pools of blood, like actually, kill you ‘n’ stuff? … actually… well, wouldn’t it actually?
Nicky’s ideas of ‘pools of blood’ probably amounted two 5 drops of blood on his shirt :p
FIVE pools of blood! Stabbed FIVE times!
See the amazing manchild’s scars! Marvel at his toughness!
Seriously? He honestly expects us to still buy his story when it came out he did most of it himself to get an ambulance ride after being beaten up by a 15 year old girl?
He just gets sadder and sadder.
Some WTF and another little meltdown on Shocklines.
http://shocklinesforum.yuku.com/topic/16113/t/New-on-line-horror-magazine-premiering-on-October-31st-2010.html?page=6
“I am pissed off that he invaded my magazine but I am going to play a little hardball and keep the story”
I really just don’t know what to say to that.
Oh, give it a couple of days. By that time Nicky will have worked it out in his mind that he spearheaded the whole operation against Boyer and that Rusty and Janrae were riding his coattails, while simultaneously ‘raping his copyrights’.
Probably, he’s still rambling away on Shocklines as well. I’ve been taking screencaps in case he wises up or Matty gets out the scissors.
Oh, and I just saw his comment on Rick’s blog as well. http://thewriterandthewhitecat.blogspot.com/2010/10/boyer-victims-youtube-video-watch-this.html
“Don’t sue me because I am innocent in all of this too. The Rusty Nail is misinformed about me and a sad little cunt when she chases my blogs around from blog to blog and does a feed of all my blogs like she’s obsessed with me for some reason. She actually cost me a few sales on a magazine and a publishing house.”
Given that it was a post about Jane, complete with her video, I’m surprised he didn’t bad-mouth her for good measure, frankly.
A 50 year old “writer” who should be coming up with his own ideas for scares not ripping off legends in the field.
This coming from a guy who rips off song titles because he can’t come up with his own :p
Oh wow, Nicky is ALL OVER Shocklines now. He’s in some sort of a manic phase, yabbering rabidly all over the place. I’m away in Sweden on a conference at the moment so please do cap, cap, cap his hilarious insanity for later.
And Ramsey Campbell responded to Nicky.
http://shocklinesforum.yuku.com/topic/16113/t/New-on-line-horror-magazine-premiering-on-October-31st-2010.html?page=6
Screencapped for posterity of course.
I think he showed far more restraint than anyone else could there.
Although of course one has to consider just how much respect ‘all due respect’ actually entails. How much respect is Nicky due now? It’s time we got another reading.
I’ll just pause for a moment to have a look at the Due Respect dial. Talk amongst yourselves for a moment.
Well, the needle may have wobbled a bit with Boyer having taken him for a ride; but it’s still hovering around the -1.5 to 0 mark.
Hahahhaa, well versed in British vulgarity and can’t even get bollocks right.
What a wanking, pillock-brained, sodding, arse-headed, bloody, cor blimey guvnor prat.
I love that British vulgarities manage to come off sounding classier and more creative than their American counterparts. As Americans, we have very little imagination; mostly, we just take the more common four-letter words and twist them accordingly to fit the situation.
FWIW, he also claims to speak “Sicilian.”
Admittedly Sicilian is a language in it’s own right, though most Sicilians also speak the official language of Italian, but given Nicky’s ineptness with English I doubt he knows more than one or two garbled phrases at most.
Nicky can’t even spell puttanesca correctly, when he calls someone that, and in any event, it’s standard Italian, not Sicilian, as he claims. I was told always told that Sicilian is technically a dialact, not a language, per se. I could be wrong. Whatever. Nicky can’t speak it.
Hahahahaha I love that! He called me a brummie, does he actually know what a brummie is? And if he knew anything about me which he claims to do so, he would know that I am a wiganer and only moved to the midlands 13 years ago. LOL. What a nasty little bugger he is!
My bad there, Rusty, I misread the intent behind your inverted commas.
I did a little more reading into whether Sicilian should be considered a dialect or language and got some conflicting results. Since the definition and meaning of words has always interested me I then went looking for the difference between dialect and language and found this interesting short article by a linguistics professor.
http://spinner.cofc.edu/linguist/archives/2005/08/whats_the_diffe.html?referrer=webcluster&
To cut a long story short it seems to be a case of potayto, potahto.
I have no idea why we have so many different swears, but they are rather fun. 😉
Nicky probably thinks Brummie refers to all the midlands, or that it is an insult somehow and not just a term for people from Birmingham.
I’m giggling over him claiming to be well versed in British Vulgarity then proving he doesn’t know a damn thing about it. Watching British shows doesn’t make you an expert Nicky :p
Nicky’s a prime example of why it’s better to shut up and be thought a fool than to open your yap and prove it.
Hey, he got my name right for the first time. he’s finally realised I’m not called Zyth.
Took him long enough.
It’s all too easy to confuse letters that are at opposite ends of the keyboard.
/snark
Looking at that Shocklines post, there is a distinct possibility Nick is confusing Ms. Cox and myself.
http://carcinomangel.wordpress.com/2010/10/25/iron-dave-feels-threatened/
Matty’s been snipping the infamous thread at SL; replies have gone from 116 down to 112.
Just compared it to my last screencap which was up to Ramsey Campbell’s post; Matt snipped the Sammi Cox posts but has left Nicky’s rant against them untouched.
Mattie wants to suck Nicky’s dick sooo desperately. I wonder if his partner knows that they are secretly in love with each other?
Matty also removed the comment linking to the book Nicky claimed to have removed from his Lulu store.
And the paperback version is still live on Lulu.
If you’re lurking, Nicky, you should really do something about it.
You’ll pardon me, I hope. I’m in one of those moods and listening to a military soundtracks radio station. I love me some punch’em inna conk music when dealing with Boyer and Nicky.
Nicky goes after Ramsey:
Ramsey — to answer your question with the invaded comment, another website used the term invaded when it came to my most sought after story of my early works, the first one over 2000 words which I wrote during my manuscript trading years. This story is still on my website to this day but I revamped the site. I will be taken seriously when Issue 12 hits, and I am still taken seriously just not from your crowd and a plague such as you.
He must be lurking here. He just edited it.
Unfortunately, he edited it twice before I saw it. Knowing Nicky, he may edit it again before he’s done — or follow up with eight other comments in a row.
Neve — I think he’s confusing me with someone else as well. Or his addle-brained definition of “feud” is about as on-target as his addle-brained definition of everything else.
Oh dear. Nikki woke up Brian Keene.
And Matt snipped it all within two minutes.
That is one person I don’t want pissed at me.
I guess no one got a screen cap of it?
Fastest I’ve EVER seen Matt snip something. I don’t think little Nicky knows what he’s done. But evidently, Matt does.
My response, also deleted:
“Sounds like you got the person who sabotaged Tabloid Purposes One in your corner.”
What does this even mean?
“I can say how she got her deal with the one book, but I don’t want Matt yelling at me for being too X rated with the joke”
Then allow me, for the curious on Shocklines. I got my deal with Leisure because Don D’Auria liked the story. You lied about me, publically, multiple times, by claiming I slept with him and Brian Keene.
“she was the one who took a shit on House of Spiders 3 by reading the first three pages of the preview before it was in the final form.”
I know you think people care about your work, but honestly, Nick, I don’t think I ever read any of your House of Spiders stories. If I did, I honestly don’t remember it. So, there’s that.
Nickolaus, you’re so yesterday. I don’t know what you think I did that the little hamster’s roulette wheel in your mind has clicker-clacked back into your fantasies about me, but you go for yours, spunky little fella.
Sorry I missed all that. I hope someone got screengrabs.
Happened too fast, I think. He wrote his usual vulgar screed about me, Brian defended me, and I responded to Nicky, and then before I could even type another sentence, all of it was gone.
Nicky was pissed, essentially, because I responded to Sammi Cox and wished her luck on her anthology.
I believe it’s just time to spin the Wheel of (Mis)Fortune again.
I still have to shake my head at Matt. Having met him once at a con, I found it very hard to take what he said seriously because of how he treats professional writers on his board.
If Matt’s going to continue doing what he does, he may as well change his last name to Pacione and move into the basement with Nicky.
At least then, he’ll never censor his own message board in that case, because Nicky will never let him use the computer for longer than fifteen seconds…
Maybe Matty honestly doesn’t know what a joke he’s become in his quest to pander to Nitwits.
Dogpoet and Keene are now tweaking Matt in Nicky’s thread.
Has Matt banned Ramsey Campbell yet? It would be like him, the worm.
So he wants to set a trap for Byron, using issue 6 as bait – and he announces this on a public posting on a message board that Byron uses???!!!???
What a bollocks sucking idiot
New blogspot ramble, I was wondering when he’d lump Boyer, Beero, Angry, Bob and myself together.
Also just noticed his two post rant on page 2 of this thread.
http://shocklinesforum.yuku.com/topic/16433/t/Who-has-an-October-November-or-December-book-release.html
As well as this typically classy comment on page 3.
“I think I will pass on the T.M. Wright title because of his fight he started with me on my message boards on AuthorsDen.com. I don’t wish him a lot of sales with his titles.”
Just finished reading it. I gather he’s going to publicly take credit for putting Iron Dave out of business, should the legal route others are pursuing prove fruitful.
For all his complaining about a plagiarizer sneaking into his publications, he practically sets himself up for it by recruiting at fanfic sites. Even so, someone has to poke him really hard with a stick to get him to realize he’s been had. And he still hasn’t removed the paperback version.
What astonishes me, though, is that (as I suspected) he still intends to hawk EG6 in private, even though he pulled it from Lulu.
I can’t help wondering whether B is helping or hurting the case against Iron Dave, by informing Nicky of stuff like his criminal record and home phone number. That has potential to really muddy the waters for Rick and anyone else who has a real lawyer working on it, especially if Nicky starts barraging the guy with his famous midnight phone calls.
Awesome wall of text post by Nikita. Could I please bother you to screengrab it for me before Matt axes it, Rusty. I’m still in Sweden at a conference until thursday.
And OH NOES, Nicky can provide a screenshot proving that Beero is actually autoaim.cfg. RUN FOR THE HILLS, ALL IS LOST. Hi hi hi ha ha ha ho ho ho. Since we know that Nikita is reading this : “Congratulations of figuring out the bleedin’ obvious which we’ve talked openly about for almost two years now. You must be feeling really special right now. Here’s two toddler sized Lego Duplo bricks. Lets see if you can successfully smash them together too?”
Don’t ever change, you hilariously disturbed manchild. =D
I find that hilarious, as in the two years I’ve been friends with Terry, he never mentioned Nikita once. I believe it was just a rather subtle way (for him), of giving me and my company the finger.
Rusty, I see your point and agree with you. I never meant to muddy the waters. This is my first and last interaction with Nickolaus. Any information I shared is easily obtained through free searches on the Internet. Please accept my apology. (I feel sick that I have hurt our cause.)
After picking a fight with Ramsey Campbell, then hastily editing his comment a couple of times to remove the insults, Nicky tries to buddy up to the man, although he’s mostly talking to Grabowsky.
I’m not sure whether to laugh until I pull a muscle, or puke at Nicky’s sudden swagger regarding the prospect of nailing Boyer.
Predicted the latter a couple of days back. The way he puts it, one might think he did all the work and you’re copying him…
Of course, he probably does think that now. Wonder if he considers himself entitled to at least 50% of the damages won from any class-action suit?
He’s “just happy they are taking the heat off me.” Except that by now, he’s probably convinced himself he’s entitled to damages for Iron Dave plagiarizing “Ghosts in the Tornado,” even though he never sent him the story.
Nicky’s probably giggling thinking he’s going to see a big chunk of money when this mess is all over.
Just out of curiosity, could any of the publishers sue for damages? Like to cover the costs from printing?
Then he can quit suckling at the public teat.
Doom, I was told that the stories involved had to be covered under a current publishing contract for the publishers themselves to sue over the plagiarism aspect. You have to have a more established claim to monetary damages than just printing costs.
However, one thing that might bear fruit is simply small claims court.
The contract would also have to predate the earliest instance of plagiarism to have any hope of establishing monetary damages.
So the best and possibly only ones at this point who can sue and establish damage are the authors themselves.
okay, Pacione needs to be set straight about this. In his blog posts he says he will continue selling it privately. This implies that he will sell it through direct link, not through the lulu stores. But that is still selling it. He can’t do that legally
He’s also still selling the paperback with Rick’s story in it — at Lulu. I’m really beginning to think he’s trying to fool people at SL about taking it down, simply because the hardback is no longer available. Matt is somewhat complicit, since he deleted the link to the paperback, knowing damn well the commenter was right about it being available despite what Nicky claimed.
He’s finally taken down the paperback version, took him long enough.
He also bumped a thread from six months ago entitled RIP Skullvines Press about the closing of their forum with this.
“Good fucking riddence. That gives more leeway for Lake Fossil Press to really become the entity that Writings From The Grave became years before it. As many want to see me fold for good, I’m not going to give them the pleasure of seeing that happen. The only way Lake Fossil Press will die out is if I become murdered. ”
Or his family finally has enough and gets him committed.
Or he gets run over by a bus while drunkenly wandering the train station taking pictures.
or somebody actually does just murder him…
The books are all still up at Amazon which he failed to contact. Idiot.
Pacione went after Mary again. Looks like Keene has decided to say hello to him. What’s hilarious about it is that Keene’s response is polite and helpful. Bet Matt deletes it anyway…
http://shocklinesforum.yuku.com/topic/16577?page=2
Nicky: The thing about comic book writing compared to the flat out short story and it’s the scenery has to be more detailed than conventional horror or science fiction.
Keene: Helpful Tip: I realize I’ve only written for Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, Antarctic Press and a few others (including such iconic characters as Superman, The Doom Patrol, etc.), and therefore, I may not be considered knowledgeable by this forum’s censors, but “scenery” should not the concern of the comic book writer. Plot, pacing, dialogue and continuity are the primary concerns. Scenery should only be considered if it’s essential to the plot or somehow crucial to the tale’s development. Comics are a collaborative process, and you’ll find things work more organically if you allow your artist to handle the scenery while you focus on writing your best. Much of the scenery will be eaten up by word balloons and captions during the lettering phase, anyway. Best of luck with your comic!
I’m surprised he hasn’t blown a fuse yet. I expect he will soon enough, though.
Nicky responds… politely?!?!?!?!
Nicky: Keene, actually the comic is being done by a high school mate of mine, I can show you the story that I did from his notes. There is a reason I posted it on this site I could have gone about 4000 words with the story but he wanted me to keep it under four pages, aka 2000 words even. I used my Outer Limits style delivery to write the story and I showed this to one of my publishers after it was done. The only way I will submit it out is if the artist goes in with me on submitting the artwork too because this is his call.
Some of my science fiction stories came comic book ready, but my horror is more drawn out for a very dirty style of animated horror. I am actually pitching my story from Darkened Horizons: Issue 3 for a movie on Cartoon Network that commands the same animation style as Metalocalypse. The character is a friend’s creation, and this friend and I knew each other since high school. I actually ushered him onto RAGE MACHINE Books where he did the cover for one of the flash anthologies but RAGE MACHINE went and rebooted their publications for the occult detective genre of the 1950s styling.
I wanted to go graphic novel for the horror trilogy I wrote and co-wrote, being that the sequels of mine are actually longer than the original works. When I did the untitled Johnny Alien Story which is now called Origins. I was stepping into a lighter direction for my science fiction works but at the same time I was just off the momentum of getting noticed by Diagnosis 2012 for one of my novellas, and this one was done right off of selling to Specficworld.com. My own UFO story was a cross between 8 O’Clock In The Morning with an Edgar Allan Poe style descriptive element of having a UFO sighting from Sears Tower. I got this placed on my first try. No rewrites or anything. I sent it on a whim to Doyle and it got picked up. I published this story twice over in my imprint (it was voted in on the third Tabloid) and it was a no brainer for my collection.
The Johnny Alien story I tested out with people on Deviantart.com first then posted it on FanFiction.net because my computer was ready to crash. I re-edited the authors notes with this. The creator of Johnny Alien is very knowledgible of the science fiction style comic books. I had no idea he was developing this character for a long time so I set the story in my science fiction universe for the Lake Fossil trilogy. It’s almost a crossover into my own work in the science fiction realms because it is set in the same time years as Lake Fossil and Flying Cigars — set between 1992-1993.
My knowledge of comic books in the current years came from my buddy Steve Piscione when he did Shreds, he gave me a copy of Shreds when I did my signing in Chicago three years ago at a friend’s release party. Shreds is an indie comic where it’s all done in black and white ink, and uses the same printer that Naked Snake Press uses for some titles to make them a smaller dimension. I have this kept in the same bag as I got Grave Grrrls. Grave Grrrls’ creator gave me a copy of this when I did a merch trade in 2005, and I keep this under the plastic. When I get my next place I have a few things I might have to frame.
T. Casey Brennan and the creator of Johnny Alien introduced me to the world of comic book writing. I prefer doing novellas and short stories personally because it’s easier to do than the comic book writing because doing the storylines get harder and harder to do. One of the more famous comic book characters I personally want to write for is Ghost Rider and Hellstorm aka the darker comic books that Marvel put out because I was actually trying to draw like this before I went espressionist with my illustrations. Comic book drawing is HARD, I was trying to do this when I was just 16 but I picked up photography instead.
Nicky: Keene, actually the comic is being done by a high school mate of mine, I can show you the story that I did from his notes.
Keene: I get a lot of requests from folks asking me to read their scripts and manuscripts, and I try to help as time permits. Sadly, you were pretty nasty to Mary SanGiovanni yesterday, so I’ll have to decline. I’m sure you understand. But good luck with it! Maybe if you offer her a sincere apology, I’ll reconsider.
I’m taking screengrabs, since I doubt he’ll be able to contain himself for much longer.
I read his Johnny Alien story a few years ago when he first posted in DA. God is it . . . stilted. His friend started it by doing a bunch of drawings, which I’ve never seen, then let Nicky write a story around them. “DoDo the Kid from Outer Space” had better dialogue.
Nicky: Well Sangiovanni was nasty with my novella when it got published though so she brought that upon herself, the collecting dust in Chicago wasn’t just from me but from a bookstore in Chicago that carried it. When she apologizes for House of Spiders 3 and Tabloid Purposes, then maybe I will apologize. I would have gotten dirtier about her publishing deal but I am showing some restraint. I basically have this up for the world to see. The word count is for the actually for the short story referrences.
Keene: I would highly suggest that you continue to show “restraint”. I’m showing restraint in not posting an admittance document from a certain Illinois hospital emergency room which details how a certain Morris, Illinois-based horror “writer” had an action figure from a certain popular toy spin-off series lodged in his rectum eleven years ago.
Nicky: I really doubt you have a mental health record about me and really doubt about the toy thing.
Keene: So you don’t deny that this happened? You just deny that I have the hospital records. Okay.
Nicky: I am not going to let anyone hijack this thread on me with that sick little detail.
Keene: Fair enough. I’m not going to let you call Mary SanGiovanni a whore (even if Matt thinks it’s perfectly acceptable for you to do this). It’s a vile word in the context you’ve used it here on this forum, just like “nigger”, “fag” and all the other poisonous words that have poured out of your mouth here over the years. I reckon since Matt has given you permission to say these things, you won’t mind engaging in an open a dialogue with many of the people you’ve done similar things to over the years. Starting with me.
Quid pro quo, Nikita. Let us begin.
How old were you the first time you had sex with a llama?
Mary: Right now, my son is otherwise detained and I am at my parents’ house, in the basement, on the computer. Oh look, Nick — for the first time EVER we have something in common.
I find intriguing, Nickoluas, that you continue to sling vulgar and disgusting names and accusations at people you claim to be your peers, and yet, criticize others for making what you claim are baseless accusations about you. Like Brian, I’d be curious to open a dialogue with you about this. Surely even you can come up with some modicum of proof to either end?
And Matt just snipped the whole thing.
From Brian Knight.

“Matt, you know I think the world of you, but why do you allow this? Mental illness or not, this man is truly one of the nastiest people I’ve ever interacted with. It’s been years since I was first introduced to the antics of Little Nicky,k and I have yet to find a single redeeming quality in him.”
I doubt Matt will answer him.
Wow. This thread from Iron Dave just got a major haircut.
So, is Matt protecting a confirmed plagiarist? Or is he still trying in vain to keep his board a happy sparkly place
Five bucks says Matt excises that thread and bans both Mary and Brian
Nicky’s “pet project” thread just went poof.
Matty must be an awfully busy little beaver right now.
Maybe Matt should apologize to Mary, too. Perhaps things would “slow down” again if he did. 😉
Ahh, the “who’s heard of this guy thread” went bye-bye. It was just getting good.
Ditto his “Who’s Heard of This Guy” thread. POOF!
I’ll upload my screenshots to a Photobucket album in a moment, and post the link.
my friggin post disappeared too!!
Matt’s in there right now deleting a lot of stuff from recent threads – including Nicky’s nasty comments.
and I get a warning from too. What a dick!
That’s Matty for you, note that he also didn’t bother snipping Nicky’s delightful little post where he called me a plagiarist and insulted you as well. Though for some reason he did feel the need to remove B’s link to Nicky’s anthology on Amazon, Nicky must be a fantastic cyberlover.
It’s why SL tends to be a rather dead place these days. Mattie likes to kill all the intelligent discussion to protect his beloved Nickita.
I really wish I could understand why Matt throws in with Nikki and the Nitwits. It’s almost pathological. He can’t hide behind the “show me something insulting Nick said” excuse any more — he’s seen it, he’s just covering up for something.

I probably missed some things, but this album contains everything I got from SL in perhaps three or four juicy threads that involved our favorite gweasy gawth.

Shocklines: You need to not pick fights on my board – such as calling someone by a nickname they don’t want (Nicky) or speaking in a rude way.If you can’t speak to someone without insulting someone I can’t you post here. If you can respect everyone, then you can. Thank you.
Today at 6:50 pm
You: oh right so you can leave all nickys disgusting posts up about everyone else!! Is that OK?? Answer me that!
Today at 6:52 pm
Shocklines: If you see him post an insult first, you should contact me at spinmatt@aol.com, the way he and everyone else does when they have an issue with someone on the board. All I’ve seen this week is other people being the ones to throw the first insult. He will receive the same warning if he starts a fight.
Today at 6:53 pm
You: right…. but you have either left up his posts or locked them so everyone can still see them.
Today at 6:55 pm
Shocklines: Send me the insulting posts of his that I missed then. Email them to me. I took down a slew of his posts as well today. If I missed some, just send me an email.
Today at 6:58 pm
You: http://shocklinesforum.yuku.com/topic/16113?page=8 try that one for size
Today at 7:00 pm
Shocklines: Got it. Now it’s gone. See how easy that was?
Today at 7:03 pm
You: yeh it may be that easy but also deleting legitimate replies to posts is ridiculous as you have done. Considering you seem to favour a deadbeat troll who hasn’t even grasped english, over the top notch pro writers that keep this place alive. You do realise that people are complaining about you all over the place and calling you, well I wouldn’t want to repeat some of things I have seen written about you. Just a heads up is all.
Today at 7:05 pm
Shocklines: The easiest way to deal with that is simply not to post here, then. It’s always been that way here for seven years — posts that are insulting or disrespectful get removed. This is not a playground for children to insult each other. There are plenty of other message boards where that can happen. Anyone who doesn’t want their posts removed for insulting other people are advised to go to any number of other forums.
Today at 7:08 pm
You: Matt as I said, I have watched you delete perfectly legitimate responses to posts that weren’t insulting but rather pointing someone in the right direction. Itwas politely written and actually simply corrected a persons fact checking. No insult, no foul play and it went poof. So don’t tell me you only delete insulting posts – you also delete stuff that you don’t like and if that is the case why open this place. People have opinions that you will not always like. Doesn’t mean they are insulting. Its called freedom of speech.
Today at 7:10 pm
You: http://shocklinesforum.yuku.com/topic/16113?page=8 still there…
He deleted Nick’s post in a months-old thread “RIP Skullvines Press” (regarding the old message board, not the press) but he missed a reply by SD that quoted it. It may be in Rusty’s screencaps but I’m reposting it here just in case:
NickolausPacione wrote:Good fucking riddence. That gives more leeway for Lake Fossil Press to really become the entity that Writings From The Grave became years before it. As many want to see me fold for good, I’m not going to give them the pleasure of seeing that happen. The only way Lake Fossil Press will die out is if I become murdered.
SD: And I’d promote the replacement forum, but I’m not sure you could comprehend the web address.
So the key word in Lake Fossil Press is…Fossil.
Let’s just leave it in the dirt where it belongs.

Wow. Deleted my post but left Nicky’s horrid and insulting post up. I just don’t get it.
No matter how many times Matty claims he deletes insulting stuff — IF/WHEN it’s pointed out to him — he never deletes direct insults and libelous statements from the Nickster, unless he nukes the whole thread.
I see he locked that thread. I wanted to point out to Nicky that the only trademark for House of Pain on record is by a nutrition and sports company. It can still be used for horror I think.
Yeah, well, nobody is allowed to correct any false information spread by a Nitwit on SL.

I think the biggest unanswered question of the night is … what action figure did Nicky have rammed up his ass? He-Man? The chubby little clown from Spawn?
Maybe one of those 18″ talking horror movie figures.
The Hulk.
HULK SMASH NICKY COLON!
He’d never be able to take the Hulk that quickly! He’d work his way up. The Thing first “IT’S PROSTATE-CLOBBERIN’ TIME!!!” and then the Hulk.
No, wait. Sorry. I retract my earlier statement. Since the whole alleged action figure episode involved a hospital admission, that’d imply an inept insertion and slapdash approach to anal or prostate stimulation. Working his way up through the action figures from slender to bulky to very bulky would imply a level of caution and thought of which our favourite dicktard is plainly incapable.
I’ve thought about signing up on Shocklines because it seems like a good place to get involved with the horror community, but watching all of this makes me think twice. Is it usually this bad?
Always. I think this is part of what killed the SL shop.
“Is it usually this bad?”
Yes.
I just wish people would stop referring to Boyer by his “DocByron” alias. Every time I see that, I think it’s some bizarre lovechild of myself and Poppy Z. “DocBrite” Brite.
he was using the “doc’ in his name there to demonstrate that he had a Ph.d in Stupid.
I prefer referring to him as “Tin Foil” because of how flimsy he really is.
I like that one, Mike. I’m still waiting for him to respond to my list email. At first I would get three and four emails from him in the mornings, now there is often four or five day delay in his responses.
