Octavius – She’s LASHING OUT!
Apparently what other people find simple, Sarah finds impossible and is once again having a shit-fit to try and cover up her own bitterness, narcissism and outright ineptitude. Standard.

Very good video. I have never seen your site before and was only made aware of it from a twitter post I found after reading about Nostalgia Nerd. I’ve watched some videos by Octavius over the years but never knew about this book until quite recently and more surprising was Nerds bar. I just cannot fathom how the both of them can sit there in front of the cameras with a straight face and act like its everyone else’s fault, especially Octy blaming unbound for her book not being published after having six years to get it written and edited and signed off. Her threads posts about it all are even worse and the way she treats people commenting about it all is nigh on wicked and insulting.
I think I will be spending some time on this website watching videos about things I have never know about within the retro community.

Someone’s upset her. Yes I said her, she’s only pretending to be a bloke for attention.
Someone should ask her about her Fetlife days where she would be into whipping blokes
The only void is the one between Octav1us’ ears.
Hahaha this video was awesome! “Rat blanket” is such a brilliant expression… and the dog at the end haha, amazing. Hope he’s OK!
Burbuja is fine mate, the barking was for absolutely no reason. Maybe a fly went past the window or something equally unacceptable in that tiny brain :p
New video up now about Nostalgia nerd, by the way, who’s dropped to new lows by showing us that he can’t even count to three. No wonder he can’t do his accounts!
The world owes her a living mate.
Everything is our fault.
The only way out of this is to setup a direct debit and give her more money.
That’s it. Everyone needs to pay so that she can sit on her arse doing fuck all and killing off more rats with chocolate and bovril. Fucking idiot. Maybe someday she’ll actually stop being a fucking slouch and try to carve out some kind of life for herself. Not today, though. (probably not tomorrow, either).
Oh, it’s happening alright. Moving back to London soon apparently where the streets are paved with stars and people lap up embellished mental health misery… comedy.
Unreal. London is where she needs to be to see her name in lights, that’s for sure. What a fucking pipedream. Absolute toilet. She’s about as funny as a shoe. Fucking vapid bastard. Then think of the rent in London? Is she actually going to share a flat? I fucking doubt it. Who would live with that? Can you imagine? So, it’ll be the simps stumping up £2000+ per month for a bedsit in Hackney from which she can ply her nonsense online for her dwindling audience who’re still deluded enough to believe that this all isn’t just a cynical cash grab presided over by a lazy, narcissistic baby that desperately needs to fucking grow up.
Nothing that might constitute a funding plan was presented so I imagine she’s simply working on the brazen assumption that the usual sugar daddies will stump up the cash and settle any ongoing bills.
Not even the mere mention of a new fundraising gimmick, it’s just a foregone conclusion that this is happening because raw talent + fate + karma = stardom.
She’s just doing the same fucking broken wing dance in ever decreasing circles. She’s a fucking cynical oaf.
She’s in NO WAY got what it takes to be a star. The entertainment industry is a bodygrinder. She’d be ripped to bits in seconds. This fucking ridiculous echo-chamber she’s got set up for herself will be meaningless when it comes to being put up against anyone with even a modicum of talent. She’d be annihilated.
It seems to me the giant Octavius sized elephant in the room is the fact that this whole disaster could have been avoided if she had actually written and released the book in a timely fashion. By all accounts, this should have been released many years ago and Unbound shitting the bed would have been a non-issue for everyone involved. What a turnip.
She launched that kickstarter 5 years ago, for a book that would have required zero research (given it was only ever going to be about one topic – herself – a subject that even she must know quite a lot about already). 5 years. She could have rattled that off in a couple of months, tops, and have had it out by year end. 5 years. People manage to write a PhD thesis in less time than that! It’s not like she has any kind of job to balance alongside writing the thing. 5 years. Utterly mad.
it is madness, mate. If you knuckle down to it, it should be possible to write something like that in no time. It’s not like it’s even well written, it’s the ramblings of a child that understands nothing about structure. Completely trite, childish, narcissistic crap. As you say, she’s just writing about herself, something which her entire, pointless life has thus far been dedicated to. So, indeed, it should be easy to put a book together but 5 YEARS? 5 YEARS? fucking unreal. If I called myself a writer and couldn’t write an autobiography in 5 years I’d, well, I’d certainly stop calling myself a writer for a start. I mean, her book should be totally easy to write
“Day 1 – sat in my room feeling sorry for myself and being narcissistic”
“Day 2 – sat in my room feeling sorry for myself and being narcissistic”
“Day 3 – sat in my room feeling sorry for myself and being narcissistic”
“Day 4 – sat in my room feeling sorry for myself and being narcissistic”
“Day 5 – sat in my room feeling sorry for myself and being narcissistic”
You get the general idea.
George, you cannot leave it there, there are still 2 days of that week which have not been documented.
People have evidently paid good money to know this stuff. no idea why mind as personnally I could not give two shits.
Worse still, it was actually announced as ‘in the works’ in 2018 (via her dead-name blog). So that’s 4 years to cogitate over it, 2 years to bash out vaguely relevant, jumbled words, and finally 1 year to blame Unbound for not putting them in the right order and sanitising her (already on record) libellous accusations.
Well, this is the thing, isn’t it? She kept saying it was finished, then it wasn’t, then it was, then it wasn’t, then the “editors” had it, then the editors were dragging their feet, then it wasn’t finished, then it was FOR FUCKS SAKES!! If she’d just knuckled down and done the graft, as you say, it could have been out ages ago and everyone would have been happy. As it is, she’s fucked yet another thing up and, in her own broken-brained way, is now trying to turn the situation that she’s caused into something that she’s now a victim of. #HORACEGATE2
I imagine the most accurate way to determine the book’s current state of completion is to employ the daisy-petal-plucking method.
I find it particularly hilarious that typesetting has been elevated to a mystical art that can only be tackled by a professional. What a stumbling block dilemma to endure now we’re so close to publication. Otherwise, it would be out in the wild already! Oh yeah, and the copyediting thing.
Despite Octy’s claim of unbound screwing over 100s of authors. It looks like there the actual number dropped was small and mostly the people who’d been on the books forever and produced nothing. Her and Paul Gannon being the old unfulfilled campaigns.
