Nah, Tingle doesn't swear enough.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-31 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I swear like a drunken sailor in real life, but rarely in writing because it's not usually appropriate. I think most writers sound different when they're blogging vs. writing fiction.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-31 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Yup, I'm the exact opposite. I very rarely ever swear in real life, but I take great relish in writing really foul-mouthed characters and situations where the filthiest words in my vocabulary come out of my fingers.

Where no one will hear them, but someone will definitely read them!

If Tingle doesn't win for best short story this year, I think he should be nominated for dramatic performance next year.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-31 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm tempted to vote for Tingle just because he seems like a cool, fun person. At the very least I have new respect for him because of how he's handling his nomination in light of being used by Vox Day. Love is real.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-31 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
nayrt - Agreed. It's been hilarious seeing the nomination backfire big time on VD and the Puppies. They deserve every last bit of butt pounding ridicule they're getting from Tingle.

I was completely up in arms about the Hugos for the past two years, and decided to give it a miss this year.

But now I have to check it out.

(Anonymous) 2016-06-01 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
*squints* I don't see how it backfired. They got a story about raptor butt sex NOMINATED FOR A HUGO. The super-serious, best of the best Hugo Awards which are supposed to be about the cream of the crop of science fiction and fantasy. Vox Day has stated publicly he wants to turn the Hugo Awards into a joke and burn it all down

I say he managed the joke part this year. I haven't heard about Tingle saying anything about the nomination (except to release 'Slammed in the Butt with My Hugo Nomination' or whatever it was), but even if he did, it doesn't matter. Vox Day still won simply by actually getting that kind of story nominated.

(And no, I don't like Vox Day. But spinning everything into a victory isn't seeing reality.)

(Anonymous) 2016-06-01 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
He's having Zoe Quinn accept the award on his behalf, and bought the URL therabidpuppies.com to put his own content up instead.

(Anonymous) 2016-06-01 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks for the info. :)

(Anonymous) 2016-06-01 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, he meant the nomination for Tingle to be a joke, but do you think that VD intended for his own nominee (who has a bigger fan following than VD does) to mock the living shit out of him all over the internet? I seriously doubt it. The fact that you personally haven't heard Tingle say anything about the nomination doesn't mean it hasn't happened. It just means you missed it.

You could Google for more, but here's one:

"But spinning everything into a victory isn't seeing reality."

Which is pretty ironic, because this is exactly what VD does. The whole point of putting already popular works on their slate is so they can claim a victory for something that would've likely been nominated, anyway. They're doing this because they learned that nominating their own mediocre books didn't work last time.

(Anonymous) 2016-06-01 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
Vox Day's own book was actually nominated ...

(Anonymous) 2016-06-01 10:10 am (UTC)(link)
And it won't win. Just like how the Puppies nominated a lot of their own books last year and most of them didn't win. Actually, did ANY of them win? John C. Wright sure took a spanking, and deservedly so.

(Anonymous) 2016-06-01 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
And are you seriously suggesting that Raptor Butt Invasion is an already popular work that would have been nominated???

(Anonymous) 2016-06-01 10:11 am (UTC)(link)
No. But Tingle's book wasn't the only work on the Puppy slate, and if you look at their slate, you'll see plenty of popular stuff that would get votes with or without the Puppies' influence.
sabotabby: (books!)

His reaction is the second most beautiful thing. His book titles are the first.

(Anonymous) 2016-06-01 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
No, because Chuck Wendig is Bunny Fritters

Chuck Tingle is an inspiration to me. Not just as a writer, but a human being. You do you, Mr. Tingle. You do you.
