Dearest, beloved, Fandom Wank.

I know you were looking forward to great excitement today. Some of you said words to me that indicated you anticipated fiery 'judgement' upon those who remained fresh and dewey white, those you call n00bs.

Anyway, you got today instead.

Stop anticipating things, we'll just break your hearts.

Sincerely,

Sepia P. Magpie, Esq.



PS: Use this post to reflect on how you could be better people. Or just fuck around in the comments.

Well, I hadn't. Thanks to mindset, I now know Nickolaus Pacione (a.k.a. "Nicky the Goth") is internet famous. Why? For his "rational disagreements" with Poppy Z. Brite and others, his well-reasoned arguments for conservatism, his plans to sue LiveJournal for discrimination, his anthologies, and so on. His intelligent and witty blog entries are also high on the list.

This treasure, however, was brought to us by wank_report.

Given his history, it shouldn't be a shock that Nicky arrived on Amazon.com to lambast his critics. Collectives In a Forsaken Landscape is his masterwork. (And you will totally never guess it was self-published.)

The review war was going on before Nicky made his appearance.

Indeed there are unenlightened souls who fail to appreciate these artistic statements:

This wouldn't be fun without the author showing up, now would it?

Fortunately, he does.

( What's the book like? )
It's like Poe and Lovecraft walk among us once more, bundled up in one person!

I think it needs more chickens-that-are-not-chickens. How about you?

(For future reference, it appears that August 26 is officially Pacione day. Aren't you sad you missed it?)
