reunion.com

This has to be the strangest thing Ive ever seen Mr. Pacione write.

Im still trying to decipher that last sentence.

He links reunion.com a five page article he posted on Associated Content.  He rated his own article a 4.0 of 5.0.  I think the article is nothing but a huge rant against Ms. Koehler in particular, and mid-list horror in general, but its really hard to tell.

What on earth is snail oil?  Is it a hot commodity?

First, hes the one who drags out imaginary rivalries.  Second, paying authors if and when he feels pressured to do so isnt exactly considered professional.

For what reason?  I dont buy into the premise that mid-list authors waste their time and energy discouraging aspiring writers.  What would be their reason?  Because they contributed to one of the Toilet Paper anthologies, or because they are new authors?  Either way, a TP contributor has a long way to go to become a rival to any mid-list author.

From what I can tell, any rivalry among mid-list authors tends to be rather friendly.  Authors arent really competing for readers.  Its not as if a reader will toss a coin and decide to read Author A instead of B if it lands heads-up.

I beg to differ  slightly.  The third side of the story is reunion.com one that can be documented, and not easily electronically altered.

If I dont like a story I read, I normally will point out reunion.com a review, politely, what I think is wrong with it:  grammar, spelling, plot, story flow, dialog, etc.  If I like it, I will say what I like about it.  Since almost every book I buy is professionally edited, I dont expect to find much more than a few typos that escaped proofreading.

I envision Hamilton vs. Burr, with Pacione playing the role of Aaron Burr.

So, when does TP, the Movie come to a Clearview or Loews near reunion.com So being a print on demand author has a few strikes against me and working with lulu.com has the natives restless.

Lulu.com appears to be the kiss of death unless you want to print calendars or greeting cards.  Its a printer, perhaps a notch above Kinkos in quality, but a printer nonetheless  not a publisher.

Whats up with jihad other than its become Paciones latest verbal tic?  Stalking me on reunion.com is what throws me for a loop.  If his tirade is about Ms. Koehler, where would stalking and reunion.com reunion website fit into the puzzle?

Anyone who attempts to sell snail oil will indeed fail.

Hes got the definition of jihad wrong, but he did finally manage to spell hiatus reunion.com Mr. Pacione is progress!

Pacione didnt link to it, but I believe hes referring to this entry.  The comments are amusing.  Personally, I think Ms. Koehlers entry about Googling everything and everyone is right on the mark.
