I don't think I could explain Chuck Tingle to anyone. There is too much. Maybe sum up
How's it sit? Pretty cunning, don'tchya think?

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I had to explain Chuck Tingle to Jim.
I regret my life choices.
Ahahahaha! All I did was read a list of Chuck Tingle's titles to Tim, which led to about 3 days of him doing things like holding up a coffee mug and saying "pounded in the butt by my unbreakable caffeine addiction." (To which I held up my coffee mug and said "NOT pounded in the butt by my unbreakable caffeine addiction because even though it's an addiction, it respects my boundaries.")

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Introducing our head of product to the existence of Chuck Tingle was a professional highlight of 2019. (The meeting was about providing support for indie authors, so it was EXTREMELY relevant.)

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Jessica wins.

Our wings are not tired.
I had only read the highlights of the dramatic shenanigans here, but this morning it ended up in my Washington Post morning newsletter. [link]

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Latest breathless update: By-laws require that the president of the RWA have published at least 5 romances. President Slimeball had exactly 5, but now it seems that he faked the existence of one of those books.

Because books.
I just saw that. AND there's coverage in Entertainment Weekly about the general kerfuffle.

OMG, the imaginary book seems to have been part of an an April Fool's joke with Dreamspinner.
