I am thoroughly confused about what is happening here, but this appeals to several of my interests. Namely 12 foot tall decorative skeletons, hating on AI, and of course lesbians.

Welcome to the Tingleverse.
Buckle up buckaroo
I can hear this walk on music
Love is love
I didn't think Chuck Tingle could get any better but here we are.
Every time I see "Chuck Tingle" I think of "Chuck Testa."
Nope! Chuck Testa!
It's an older meme sir!
Based Chuck Tingle.
Are Chuck Tingle's books actually good in terms of being compelling love stories?
Define "good". The books themselves are (probably intentionally) written in the style of ridiculous queer slash fan-fiction.
If that's your jam they're actually pretty good. The writing is surprisingly self aware and the characters are well written ... for what they are.
This review of Trans Wizard Harriet Porber And The Bad Boy Parasaurolophus is worth a watch to get an idea of what you'd be getting into.
Good is anything I personally like
Tingleverse is an acquired taste, but he does have books that fall under more conventional (and easier to say the titles of without raising a brow.) themes like Camp Damascus and Bury Your Gays which are both solid horror books.
There is only one Chuck Tingle.
Oh cool, my autobiography is out
they call him Doctor Tingle
Is this a dude writing about strange fetish lesbian fiction? Kinda weird
Worth the read, and Chuck must be protected at all costs.
This is real? How am I just hearing about this? How am I just learning about Chuck Tingle?
Just look at the covers of his books if you want to be entertained for a little while. One of my favorites is "turned gay by the existential dread that I may actually be a character in a chuck tingle book"
Welp I'm a scaly now...
I see you’re not familiar with Chuck Tingle, you’re in for a treat
This is as close to a normal mainstream smut novel as chuck gets.
For more context, about ten years ago a bunch of shit heels (the “sad puppies”) got mad that “woke” books were winning Hugo awards, so they started a movement to mess with the nominations. Tingle’s “Space Raptor Butt Invasion” got nominated as a troll, but Tingle is a really cool guy and turned it around on them by writing “Pounded in the Butt by my own Hugo Award Nomination.”
Hugo nominated author Chuck Tingle is one of the best things to ever happen to the sci-fi community.
i want to start with "how dare you" but dr. chuck tingle is a treasure. his "pounded up the butt by my own butt" series is pretty neat.
So, you remember how, years back, right wing chuds kept claiming that if America got marriage equality, people would start marrying their cars? Chuck Tingle basically went "Bet" and started writing queer erotic fiction about everything fucking everything. People having sex with sentient dinosaurs, people having sex with sentient motorbikes, people having sex with their own self-doubt, people having sex with their butts, people having sex with Chuck Tingle's book about them having sex with their own butts, people having sex with Chuck Tingle's book about people having sex with Chuck Tingle's book about people having sex with their own butts...
It's all gloriously meta, written with intense passion, joy, and love, actually quite fun and sexy if that's what you're looking for, and defiantly queer. Chuck even writes sexless "Tinglers" for ace readers. Everyone just cuddles and gets headpats.
Just lesbian? No, of course not.
no Chuck Tingle Slander!!!!
Ayyy, Chuck Tingle! I love that guy!
