Disclaimer: There will be no reviews of his actual stories. As near as I can tell, he hasn’t actually written anything that can’t be summed up with “too horrible to describe” in nearly every case. This is more a general sampling of his internet presence and my opinions of same.
I choose to start this review with the article that sparked our antipathy, The Hive Mind.
I was reading the submission guidelines for Associated Content:
“3. Content must exhibit correct grammar, sentence structure, spelling and punctuation and follow our formatting guidelines (see below).”
What I couldn’t see is any way to report violations, and based on everything else I’ve read about or by him, I’m sure every single article he has posted there is also a violation.
Moving right along, thanks to a Blogger profile, we have a website: Writings from the Grave
Sadly, the number of pop ups from this site put my browser into the grave, so I have no useful information to share.
Hey look! I found a post on CheapAssGamer! This gives me a whole list of sites to work through, let’s see what we’ve got (granted, said post was made in 2006):
Seven Points of Insanity, apparently the “official” forum of “Author, Publisher, and Editor Nickolaus Albert Pacione”. I’m still waiting for my registration email with password so I can log in and check it out.
EDIT: Total Topics: -19226 – Total Posts: -23022. Somebody doesn’t seem to know how to NOT delete posts.
Some sort of Xanga blog that hasn’t been updated often, and not since April of 2008. His interests:
“atagonizing, pissing people off, pissing on society in their eyes”
Aside from the obvious misspelling at the beginning, what does “pissing on society in their eyes” mean? That “they” see him as pissing on society, or that he is pissing on society by pissing in “their” eyes? And who is he referring to?
As this computer has no speakers at the moment, it’s not worth trying to play the video he posted in April.
Next up, we have another page on Xanga:
“nickolauspacione’s site has been shut down for violation of Xanga’s terms of use…”
Well, considering his attitude most recently, that’s not surprising.
Deadjournal: Suspended journal
Nicky’s Amazon blog, where he’s wrong on one thing I can easily verify, which makes me believe he’s pretty much just wrong.
“The article called The Hive Mind deals with these types in a professional nature.”
Considering that the article was so unprofessional as to be unreadable, I have no idea how exactly he’s dealing with “these types”.
A private MySpace profile
DeviantArt profile, where it seems like just another web presence to bitch about the unfairness of life.
Personal Quote: “Fuck Off”
So far it seems that rather than promote himself or his authors online, he’d rather just bitch about people that don’t agree that he’s a good author. If I were interested in writing, this is a vaguely humanoid being that I would avoid at all costs. His attitude and reputation can only be bad for anybody associated with him.
There will be more later, when I get bored again.
And you’re point of posting this is…
You’ve been doing things that people had tried to do for years but they failed in doing so. You’re point to all this is that you think you can break me, sorry that isn’t going to happen any time soon. I guess you illustrated the point of the article, an article such as (link deleted – you’re not advertising your trash on my blog). I had plenty of experience in dealing with your kind — and yes I’ve seen every kind of troll I can think of. If you can’t think of anything legit to say about me, then shut up.
Sorry Nicky, this is all “legit”, right from your own sites.
Shut the hell up, Nicky, you fat scarecrow made of fail. Everything she posted about you was legitimate, from your piss-poor grasp of grammar, to the fact that your stories are boring, don’t follow conflict/resolution formula, and that you write about as well as a headless monkey banging on a speak-n-spell.
Not ONE of the things she posted was anything made up, it was all EXACTLY what it is like from your sites, basically nothing more than a bloated manchild crying the world is unfair.
She doesn’t have to break you, you are fundamentally broken already, you creature made of fat, failure, and stupidity.
Livejournal: suspended (all four of them)
Greatestjournal: suspended
Xanga: suspended
Deadjournal: suspended
Gothblogs: defunct
Diary-x: defunct

Caleida: defunct
He’s lost a lot of blogs, but still has a good dozen that are around: DA, MySpace, Crazylife, Insanejournal, WordPress, Blogspot, Amazon, Bravejournal, Journalscape, Easyjournal, Vampirefreaks, and Authordsden. There may be more, because he has multiple accounts in a few places.
No matter what you do, even if it’s nothing at all, hey-presto-alakazam! You’re guilty of ALL of it!
