Tingler Readalongs
On Dec. 6. 2015, nonnies talked about Chuck’s newest book, //Pounded in the Butt by My Book "Pounded in the Butt by My Book "Pounded in the Butt by My Own Butt”// — a/k/a //Buttception//. (Yes, indeed, “WE HAVE TO GO DEEPER”.) This 81-comment discussion of all things Tingle included a readalong of //Gay T-Rex Law Firm: Executive Boner//. Despite some criticisms about Tingle’s choices of dialog tags and punctuation, the readalong was a raging success.
In a Dec. 22 thread titled Pounded in the Butt by the Gay Velociraptor Book Club, a nonny who was reading Pounded in the Butt by My Book “Pounded in the Butt by My Book “Pounded in the Butt by My Own Butt” instead of knitting their mom’s Christmas sweater issued an invitation to another readalong: “Join me, gentlefailers, as we once again enter a magical world of copious butts and the sometimes dubiously punctuated entities who love them.”
On Christmas Eve, in a thread titled “Anons you appreciate,” a nonny said, “Chuck Tingle reading anon. ILU and you bring joy into my life.” On New Year’s Eve, the Gay T-Rex Law Firm: Executive Boner readalong was named as one of the “Best Meme Threads of 2015.
The next readalong was Jan. 24, this time of //Happy Birthday Frankenstein, Now Pound My Butt!// Readalong Nonny observed, “All of this dialog is punctuated perfectly. This is the kind of classy book that would buy you a nice dinner before pounding you in the butt.” Another nonny replied, “I am thrilled to have the opportunity to watch Chuck Tingle evolve as a writer practically before my very eyes.”
On Apr. 27, regarding Slammed In The Butt By My Hugo Award Nomination, a nonny said, “I already bought this and read it and loved it. It's basically Tingle's way of saying ‘I realise lots of people don't consider me a genuine nominee, but I am honoured to be nominated, and I would like to win, but it doesn't matter whether I win or not because I know love is real.’” A micro-readalong of sorts followed, as nonny wasn’t in a good timezone for the full monty. Comments from nonnies:
- “The meta here is fantastic.”
- Not enough gay erotica also features multiverse theory, let's face it.”
