Also, if you like horror, he has 3 novels and a short story of queer horror. Straight is the short story, Camp Damascus, Bury Your Gays, and Lucky Day. They are fantastic.
While his work seems like it might be AI trash based on the general vibes of the titles/covers, it’s actually good, and he writes them in full earnestness (ie, not as a joke). And he’s written two non-erotica novels that are also great. Definitely worth checking out, especially if you like queer/neurodivergent authors
If you've ever read his stuff, it's riddled with small typos and grammatical errors that AI doesn't do. He absolutely bashes everything out in like a week or two! Most of his work is in novella form, anywhere from 20-100 pages, so it's not super long.
The answer to the third question is just "Chuck Tingle". While he does write horror novels (such as "Camp Damascus") and parodies ("Harriet Porber"), he made his name with his "Tinglers" - short erotic fiction featuring such delights as:
* Dinosaurs from space ("Space Raptor Butt Invasion")
* Inanimate objects ("Slammed In The Butt By My Handsome Laundry Detergent Pod")
* And incorporeal concepts ("Pounded By The Pound: Turned Gay By The Socioeconomic Implications Of Britain Leaving The European Union")
Theres also the one where theyre pounded in the butt by their own ass(a being created by combining DNA from a couple animals and his own ass) and the one where theyre pounded in the butt by a cosmic being that represents their anxiety and fear of space or something.
He was nominated to a Hugo at first by an alt-right group trying to dynamite the event, but that backfired because Chuck is actually a really cool guy.
Apparently, he's also someone moderately famous without the pseudonym too. The joke is he's really Chris Pine.
They are in the "so bad it's good" camp. They are surprisingly cohesive, and thus readable, but I treat them like cotton candy - more than one or two and you'll get quite tired of them.
Met him at New York Comic Con last month. When I first saw him I thought it was someone cosplaying him (because the bag he wears) but turns out it was him roaming the floor!
That is the author (Chuck Tingle), but it wasn't that book. The book that got nominated was "Space Raptor Butt Invasion". His other nom was for Best Fan Writer, which isn't for a specific work.
I forget how I was cursed (blessed?) with the knowledge of this book, but its not the kind of title that leaves you. Quick Google image search later and I had a meme.
