It's been quite a while since I posted here. Time for a brief update.
In recent years, Nicky has been pretty silent. He was relocated to MOTY's house in Florida and, amidst the gators and palm trees and surfer dudes, reduced to posting on Facebook and emailing people about projects that never come to fruition. I think the only place that will publish his "writing" is The Book PatchJennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04591062647147721220noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5495786346908980157.post-30018450783041437942013-08-16T16:28:00.001-06:002013-08-16T16:31:41.861-06:00Nicky Fails to Understand What "Goth" Means to Real GothsAfter finally getting banned from DeviantArt (twice!) and Shocklines (three times!), our favorite little Goth-wannabe has been posting up a storm on Google+. His postings can be seen here.
If you scroll down, you can see that many of his posts to the Goth community regarding music have been deleted. This is indicated by the crossed out category just before the date.

I don't have time right now to write as long a post as I'd like right now, so the short version: Pretentious, self-righteous whinging and strident claims of sexism and misogyny where it does not appear to exist only damage real discussions about such issues. Posts like this give feminists a bad name.

Nothing changes. Nicky's birthday was earlier this month, and even though, he is yet another year older, he still hasn't learned a darn thing about civility, critical thinking, or writing.

However, Nicky has been quiet these last few months and has not threatened anyone I know or spouted off hate speech. As long as he continues to behave, I won't rip into his writing or personality.

This odd little tale starts with an explanation of the difference between an urban nomad and a homeless person. It boils down to urban nomads have "a debit card and a digital camera".

We now take a break from our regularly scheduled programming to discuss a different offering by Nicky - his short story “Blood Contender”, from the brain-numbingly bad Dirty Black Winter.
Nicky has stated that “Blood Contender” is a paranormal romance and “a man’s version of Twilight” (from the intro to Dirty Black Winter). It’s neither. It contains no romance, and the only resemblance to Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04591062647147721220noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5495786346908980157.post-11630349411128710942011-10-22T12:23:00.000-06:002011-10-22T12:29:32.057-06:00"A Library of Unknown Horrors" Initial Impressions
I’ve just begun to look at “A Library of Unknown Horrors”,
and I wanted to share my initial impressions.
One of the first things that grabs anyone’s attention when
looking at a book is, of course, the cover. The cover of ALoUH is atrocious.
It’s a bad line drawing of some kind of animal dressed up in human clothes.
What this has to do with horror, I’m not sure. The back cover is only

Nicky has misspelled the name of this story in the Table of Contents, where it is listed as “The Soorpion Temple”.

This story about a writer, Michael Branson, who goes to his late parents’ cabin to get away and write and is “haunted” by his mother’s old computer is quite a mess.
