====== Meme's Conversion to Accepting Chuck Tingle as Our Lord and Savior ====== {{http://i.imgur.com/4tC0r55g.jpg?292x467|cover of Space Raptor Butt Invasion}}Dr. Tingle was first brought up on meme in [[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/122352.html?thread=627081456#cmt627081456|late January 2015,]] when a nonny introduced the rest of us to //“The novels of Chuck Tingler”// [//sic//]. At that point, nonnies weren’t terribly impressed: //“[[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/122352.html?thread=627087856#cmt627087856|2,99 for something]] that's just a little longer than your average kinkmeme fill? Sorry, but no. That's barely enough words for [[one-finger-two-finger-three-finger-cock |1 2 3 fingers]].”// Also, as noted then and [[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/123674.html?thread=636097562#cmt636097562|in an early-February thread]], Dr. Tingle is not the first writer of gay erotica, even gay dinosaur erotica, on Amazon.com. A month later, in response to [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/thedress-what-color-is-this-dress|a well-known meme]], Tingle came out with [[http://www.amazon.com/Pounded-The-Color-Changing-Dress-ebook/dp/B00U398KY6|//Pounded By The Gay Color Changing Dress//]]. This was [[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/126661.html?thread=654015173#cmt654015173|noted on FFA]]: //“Yeah, that dress.”// That book came up again [[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/143259.html?thread=754555291#cmt754555291|on June 10.]] On Sep. 13, [[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/158528.html?thread=850531392#cmt850531392|there was a 20-comment thread]] devoted to Tingle’s books, especially his then-new [[http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25250570-pounded-in-the-butt-by-my-book-pounded-in-the-butt-by-my-own-butt|//Pounded In The Butt By My Own Butt//]]. This is the point at which meme’s opinion of Dr. Tingle markedly began to turn: * //“[[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/158528.html?thread=850533696#cmt850533696|I think I've found]] who I want to be when I grow up.”// * //“[[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/158528.html?thread=850535488#cmt850535488|Chuck Tingle has been,]] and forever shall be, my hero.”// * //“[[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/158528.html?thread=850539328#cmt850539328|I really want to read his books]] but I feel once I start I'll need to read all of them.”// In mid-November, in the wake of [[http://www.nola.com/business/index.ssf/2015/11/starbucks_holiday_cups_cause_w.html|right-wing screaming]] about Starbucks holiday coffee cups without the word “Christmas” on them, Tingle came out with [[http://www.amazon.com/Oppressed-Butt-Inclusive-Holiday-Coffee-ebook/dp/B017UW5POQ/ref=sr_1_1|//Oppressed In The Butt By My Inclusive Holiday Coffee Cups//]]. Meme [[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/168598.html?thread=909977238#cmt909977238|approved]]. On Dec. 11, meme [[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/172624.html?thread=934564944#cmt934564944|discussed]] how Tingle was, ahem, skewering [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Shkreli|Martin Shrkeli]] with his new work, [[http://www.amazon.com/Pharma-Pounded-Comedian-Triceratops-Rappers-ebook/dp/B0197RQWQM|//Pharma Bro Pounded In The Butt By T-Rex Comedian Bill Murky And A Clan Of Triceratops Rappers Trying To Get Their Album Back//]]. Nonnies [[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/172624.html?thread=934587472#cmt934587472|insisted]], //“Chuck Tingle is a national treasure and I will hear no words against him”// and //“Anyone who has anything bad to say about Chuck Tingle is a heathen if you ask me.”// In early November, [[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/167121.html?thread=900830417#cmt900830417|a nonny revealed]] that they were getting //“all my fandom besties”// Tingle e-books for the holidays. On Dec. 23, a nonny [[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/174266.html?thread=944239546#cmt944239546|stated]] they’d be nominating Tingle books as a Yuletide 2016 fandom. Four days later, a nonny [[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/174665.html?thread=947165769#cmt947165769|said]] they’d be asking for Chuck Tingle RPF for next Yuletide. On Jan. 20, 2016, in a thread she titled “Meme, this is your responsibility,” Ur-Sunny announced that [[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/177956.html?thread=968011556#cmt968011556|she’d just bought //Pounded In The Butt By My Book “Pounded In The Butt By My Book ‘Pounded In The Butt By My Own Butt.’”//]] On Mar. 13, [[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/186997.html?thread=1019466357#cmt1019466357|nonny shared,]] //“Last night on Skype, I introduced two friends to the glory of Chuck Tingle.”// And on Apr. 9, [[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/191221.html?thread=1044018165#cmt1044018165|nonny informed us]], //“My sister hung up on me as I read her some Chuck Tingle book titles, and she didn't even tell me which one she wants for her birthday.”// {{tag>todo people people:chuck-tingle}}
