Rachel Dolezal and Shaun King have nothing on Nicky. He’s “passing” — as black … or brown … or something. Why? Because he doesn’t want to be discriminated against for being white.
From his Twitter feed:
No doubt this ridiculous assertion has to do with his filing an EEOC report against CreateSpace for discrimination by “firing” him shutting down his account. Even if he tans pretty easily, he’s still as pasty pale as Wonder bread. His whole “I am not a white man” thing reminds me of this:
To quote Rochelle: I don’t know. She doesn’t want to be white trash anymore. I told her, “You’re white honey! Just get over it.”
The Facebook post he links only doubles-down on the confusion factor. https://www.facebook.com/nickolaus.pacione/posts/10156216047320585 He claims he’s not white (and acts like CreateSpace picked on him for being white, which sounds absurd to me) and tells them to shut up because he implies they called him a “cat-eater” (I’m proud to say I’m not up on my racism, but isn’t that crap usually aimed at the Chinese?). Then he combines all of that with a “White people: the only race you can legally discriminate against,” picture, which is a claim I usually hear out of whiney white racists who want to feel like they’re the ones really being persecuted.
So, is Nicky whining because he’s white, or because he’s (absurdly) not white? It doesn’t look like even he knows. And he seems to have brought it up out of nowhere, anyway, because I doubt CreateSpace gives a damn (or even knows) what race anybody using their site is.
Ridiculous things seem to just float through that goofus’s head and he spits them out, no matter how nonsensical.
He also, bizarrely, was imagining Morgan Freeman (but a specifically 27-year-old Morgan Freeman, for some reason) reading one of his “books” – https://twitter.com/nickwashere1976/status/664372972782751745 Why THAT fantasy would pop up in his skull is a mystery. Why it doesn’t embarrass him to make such narcissistic fantasies public is even harder to fathom. But, that’s Nicky… the guy who talks about pulling people’s “man cards” while referring to what he wears as his “look.”
Meanwhile, his prose grows more incoherent. http://www.thebookpatch.com/BookStore/nickolaus-albert-pacione-delivers-a-library-of-unknown-horrors/820d4e3f-e586-468a-ad99-05ff8622f68f?isbn=9781944241001 This is a candidate for the Nitwit Quotes page:
“Some of the writes some of us are in touch both others went their own ways. Some by industry politics and others for personal reasons. Since this has a new ISBN; let’s have some fun with it — and please note: All the contributors retain their original copyrights and not sure how many various author anthologies are listed but this I hope it contributors the Parthenon of anthologies that are out there.”
Uhhhh… maybe Nicky’s trying to prove he’s not “white” by refusing to speak English?
That quote reads like he ran Pacionese through Bingtalian into Bingswedish into Bingrussian, and finally into Binglish.
Didn’t someone write that they got a laugh out of reading Pacione’s “INSECT” in a Morgan Freeman or James Earl Jones voice?
I did find RayJay971 in that Peter Propaganda thread told Pacione that his YouTube voice made the McDonald’s drive-thru squawk-box sound like Morgan Freeman by comparison.
Maybe he thinks he isn’t white because he hasn’t bathed in years so the dirt makes him look dark?
Hee!
I am really befuddled about this. Does he think only people with albinism are considered “white”?
I mean, sure, there was lots of weird intra-Europe bullshit that carried on into the U.S./Canada/Australia (“No Irish,” “Protestants Only,” etc.) in the 19th century, but here in 2015, Nikki’s only honest choices on the U.S. census are “White, Non-Hispanic” or “Prefers Not to Disclose”.
You’d think a real Mediterranean chap would know the difference between the Parthenon and a pantheon
He probably doesn’t know the difference between the Parthenon and the Pantheon, and couldn’t pinpoint Athens or Rome on a map. As for knowing what a pantheon is, that requires someone with a basic grasp of language (doesn’t have to be English, given the Latin via Greek origins of the word), which rules out our favorite Munchkin.
I remember his reference to Lovecraft’s Parthenon of elder gods. I thought the temple in Athens was dedicated solely to Athena. Shows how little I know.
Yest ye forget, yest ye forget…
All I could think of was that episode of South Park, and that Butters’ book was still better than anything Nicky’s ever done.

If he’s re-issuing his old anthologies with new ISBN’s, doesn’t that mean he has to request permission from all the original authors to use their stories again? Especially when he’s saying the authors still have their own copyrights?
Of course it does. Given that half the time he doesn’t bother to let authors know he’s accepted their work in the first place, I can’t imagine he’s too concerned with contacting them about it now, though.
Remember the great Ethereal Gazette Issue 12 controversy? Pacione claims he contacted Ray Nelson and got permission to use the unauthorized typo-riddled GeoCities transcript of “Eight O’Clock in the Morning” he found at a “They Live” movie fan site while dredging the internet for P.D. filler for EG12 (“Eight O’Clock…” along with four actually P.D. stories) “as an after thought” and paid $30 via Paypal but can’t prove it because his slushpilejunkie@AOL email account was closed after his grandma died.
He is reissuing anthologies when he has no records of contracts, contacts and Paypal payments on the original editions? Is that kosher? Is that legal? It certainly does not sound professional to my layman self.
(Aside: I for one would donate $10 to a GoFundMe to help Pacione regain access to his slushpilejunkie account and prove he asked for and got permission. I’ll also bet $20 that the actual email record will be like the alleged endorsement of “Library of Bones” by Joe Bob Briggs–not at all what Pacione read into the email exchange.)
I think Tabloid Purposes and Ethereal Gazette take only first time print rights, all other rights remain with the original author. But editor Pacione’s terms are written in Pacionese, and do not use the wording used by the traditional publishers with whom I am familiar.
EG12: “The living writers on the magazine retain all their original copyrights long after the magazine is published.”
TP4: “(c) 2007 by all the respective authors. Every author involved retains their original copyrights on this project. … ”
At least Pacione did not do a rights grab like Michael Bernoudy of Blu Phi’er or Tabetha Jones of Phoenix Fire. I don’t understand the “alliance” between Pacione and Jones other than the fact they had common nemeses.
Ha. So, the deceased writers’ estates no longer have their copyrights? He should know those stories don’t automatically become public domain upon the death of the author.
Don’t try to explain real Copyright Law to Nickster. You’ll blow his mind.
I had forgotten the Blu Phi’er saga! That takes me back.
I think his new print locations need some DMCA notifications sending.
I thought the only complexion Nickers possessed was a greasy one…?
Have we reached Peak Pacionese? I honestly don’t see how he can get more incoherent than this.
If there’s a way, he’ll find it.
Nicky’s expanding his range of annoyance, it seems. He was bragging about it on Twitter —
Nickolaus Pacione @nickwashere1976 4h4 hours ago
God of Evolution this one zeroed in on me and I plan to draw all the fire so you guys can do your thing. That… http://fb.me/6Mz2yLDUB
How nice… Nicky the Hero is going to “draw their fire” so the rest of us can continue not being attacked by a website that wasn’t attacking any of us in the first place. I’m about as far from being a born-again creationist as you can get, but I don’t need “protecting” from some people who are in their own space, discussing their own thing, and not bothering anybody. Doesn’t look like they’ve “zeroed in on” him… it looks like they’re doing their damnedest to get him to leave them alone. Sounds more like somebody should draw Nicky’s fire away from them…

That’s Nicky… making a pain in the ass of himself wherever he goes. Being a pest is his legacy. He’s a tick clinging to the flank of the world, sucking away.
After a couple of days peace, I just got this funny little lovenote
Do you even realize I have a 1000 connected with me on facebook privately and 600 connections on Linkedin.com so I have more connections than the Human Resources Department at amazon.com so why don’t you try to do a book explaining how you want to fuck with someone getting their XXX-XX-XXXX do you realize Brian Keene had that information you child fucking shit.
He just doesn’t get that his followers are meaningless to every damn person but himself. They’re worthless if they’re ignoring him and not buying any of his crap.
He’s hung up on follower counts, but he doesn’t really have that many, and the only reason they follow him is because of follow-backs. He follows almost twice as many as follow him. And they’re not reading him. Here’s a site that keeps track of how many fav’s you get on Twitter – http://favstar.fm/users/nickwashere1976 He’s got three, and they’re all on replies… which people usually fav just to acknowledge that they got it. All the followers Nicky has are only doing it so he’ll follow them and add to their numbers. Follower-counts are just a dumb game people play on Facebook and Twitter. I’ve got over 6 times as many as him, and everything I post gets more favs than he’s got on his entire posting history… and I’m nobody. It’s nothing. Really, you’re better off with a dozen “followers” who actually READ you than hundreds who never see anything you post. Nicky doesn’t have any readers. Except us, and we only do it to laugh at him.
And yet he thinks he has the ear of the United Arab Emirates and stuff. The delusions of grandeur are really amazing in that boy. Some psychologist could have a ball going through that dude’s psyche. It’d be like a kitten in a basket of yarn. I mean, he’s “fired” from CreateSpace when he never worked there, he’s got one Tiwtter follower in the Middle East so he thinks he has “connections” there… and now he thinks he’s fighting the Ku Klux Klan, and that Legend Keeper will bring peace in the Middle East… or something. He’s also apparently a “Penecostal heretic” now… whatever that is. It’s really unbelievable. Show that goof a molehill and he’ll start building a ski-lift next to it… a big, stupid ski-lift.
Whatever was supposed to control his sense of embarrassment has come unplugged.
He also thinks ‘speaking’ fake Italian shows he’s on France’s side! Because the French speak Italian not French now?
Great quote from an article in the WSJ by Roger Kimball:
Nicky’s flashing both calling cards: he’s being persecuted because he’s not white, and he’s male.
