when I say you, I didn’t actually mean you Doctorow - if that is your real name.
Rule 34.
" I’d love to tweak his kerning," thought Robert “Maybe I can give him some one on one hints on his tight pair spacing, and get in some ligature play. Ooh, and get my fingers on his sweet, sweet ASCII…”

Might be some ideas here for how the Dims can defeat the Loudmouth with Hair. Rosie O’Donnell, white courtesy phone please?
Having followed the hot mess that was the Sad Puppies/Rabid Puppies attempt to game the Hugos, all I can say is go, Mr. Tingle, go!! doffs hat

I think the Hugo Awards should create a narrowly defined category designed to grant an award for this specific book, just so that Quinn can accept the award. Perhaps “Hardest Homo-erotic Tingle Fiction”.

Let me be more specific; in the very small amount of time I have spent reading about the Hugo self-immolation, I have found literally nothing to admire in any person involved on any side. These people make me look egoless and unopiniated, a feat which was previously inconceivable.
Which is why I applaud the entrance of a surrealist into the fray. Never thought I’d be applauding someone with such a deeply bizarre oeuvre, but there it is.

@jlw - you’ve got a Kindle Unlimited subscription – are you waiting until you finish Tingle’s entire oeuvre until you post a review, or is one already scheduled in the pipeline?

Sounds like this could be the basis of another title.

I’m tempted to get a voting membership, just so I can vote for Space Raptor Butt Invasion. This guy is a fucking comedic genius. Did you check out his twitter stream?

I’ve been known to doubt that we are in the best of all possible worlds.
But now I learn that “Buttception: A Butt Within A Butt Within A Butt” is the title of a book that someone has actually written and published and that presumably someone has bought, and reality has +1 Leibniz points.

I don’t; when are you going to stop beating your mother?
It sounds as if you have plenty of rather polarized opinions here, though. “Each is as bad as the other” is generally utilized to legitimize Ill-behavior through false-evenhandedness when one has a particular sympathy for the misbehaving group.
People angry about active trollies mass submitting erotica to destroy the reputation of a long established award are not “as bad as” the trollies. Nobody’s asking you to “admire” anything, so the statement comes off as highly insincere.

I would, but I’m busy adding a cake mod to my 3D-printed WiFi-antenna hack that is 75% off in the BoingBoing Store!

From Tingle’s twitter, here is some guy at a convention reading Slammed in the Butt by my Hugo Award Nomination:
