I always assumed Chuck Tingle was purposefully churning out this stuff as a joke/satire/money-making-in-the-new-self-publish-era experiment but that son's AMA is really sweet. And screw the sad puppies for using the guy as ammunition for the Hugo debacle, joke's on them because he's better than their serious misogynist candidates.

So either it's an ongoing sort-of-hoax or there really is a guy who is like the Wesley Willis of ridiculous erotica

Yup.

Basically I'm hoping the AMA is not a lie because pretending to suffer from mental health problems for a laugh is pretty reprehensible. If, on the other hand, it is true, then it's kind of heartwarming, as well as hilarious and weird.

I want to believe

I hate that it seems so unlikely, because it would be pretty sweet if it were real, but the verification is...a link to the Chuck Tingle twitter saying he has a son. idk.

there's like no way that this is real? i haven't read the books but his twitter sounds exactly like 50% of weird twitter

I posted those images before reading the AMA, but I agree with JCLC and Will M.: the AMA seems like another (more distasteful) layer of fiction, and it's very hard not to read his twitter as a sustained performance.

it is ironic that the most offensive thing done by the author of "pounded in the butt by my own butt" is the positing of a metafiction in which the author is autistic, but it's also true. like, the titles/books are funny, but if "I'm his son! he's autistic!" is part of the gag, I find it p. gross

his twitter sounds exactly like 50% of weird twitter

Well, yeah, which tallies with my initial assumption that the series was a 'joke' (using scare quotes because it's hard to quantify joke here - 'exercise in surrealist erotica wherein the author is fully aware of its absurdity' is a bit long-winded). But I thought the AMA was very consistent and constantly emphasised the humanity of the author (cf "laughing with not laughing at" etc), so I have to say it did change my mind. Basically if "I'm his son! he's autistic!" is part of the gag, I find it p. gross is exactly my feeling, and I'd kind of rather be naïve and gullible in this instance.

Feeling really sad and shitty about the world now.

listen to some Wesley Willis and feel better imo

Not Tingle but I admit I laughed
