Chuck Tingle is a pseudonym adopted by an anonymous author, who has gained notoriety for creating a unique genre of niche gay erotica. His literary output primarily takes the form of monster erotica, which features romantic and sexual encounters between human characters and a wide range of unconventional partners.
These unusual pairings include dinosaurs, imaginary creatures, anthropomorphized inanimate objects, and even abstract concepts. The author's works are self-published through Amazon, with a focus on digital formats such as ebooks, as well as paperback and audiobook releases.
In 2016, Chuck Tingle's short story "Space Raptor Butt Invasion" gained significant attention and was nominated for the prestigious Hugo Awards, an honor that was made possible through a coordinated campaign. Although the author distanced himself from the campaign, the recognition marked a significant milestone in his career.
The following year, Chuck Tingle was once again nominated for a Hugo Award, this time in the category of Best Fan Writer.
