perfect tingler after todays discussion

----

Mumblo Peeps has one last presentation to give if he wants his master’s degree, but to finish it on time would be nearly impossible. Mumblo just doesn’t have it in him. Fortunately, Mumblo’s friend Jordon is also giving a final presentation, which just so happens to be about the works of erotica author Chuck Tingle. Mumblo is confused on how his friend intends to fill an entire project, since Chuck Tingle just creates fake books covers, only to realize that Chuck Tingle books are, in fact, real. Now Mumblo is locked into a passionate tryst with the physical manifestation of his bizarre assumption that Chuck Tingle books are just covers and not actual books, teaching Mumblo that anything is possible if you just put your butt into it.

POUNDED IN THE BUTT BY MY BIZARRE ASSUMPTION THAT CHUCK TINGLE BOOKS ARE JUST COVERS AND NOT ACTUAL BOOKS

Any time there is drama in The Fandom, it's a good idea for everyone to brush up on the classics

New hobby just dropped: imagining the books that the Ghostbusters would write. Up first is Egon and mycology. Thanks @spengnitzed for the inspiration.

SCP Recommendations: Fifteen Weird Books

Because I give myself very stupid projects to work on, I recently decided to read every weird book SCP currently on the wiki. I found about 118 total, and winnowed them down to 15 favorites.

All of these are easy to jump into, and don't require knowledge of lore. CWs are under the cut, though most aren't really "scary" so much as weird little books.

Amazon removes books ‘generated by AI’ for sale under author’s name

Jane Friedman claims she had to fight against Amazon’s refusal to remove the misattributed titles because she had not trademarked her name

by Ella Creamer

Five books for sale on Amazon were removed after author Jane Friedman complained that the titles were falsely listed as being written by her. The books, which Friedman believes were written by AI, were also listed on the Amazon-owned reviews site Goodreads.

“It feels like a violation, because it’s really low quality material with my name on it,” Friedman told the Guardian. The Ohio-based author has written several books about the publishing industry, and the fraudulent titles mimicked her real work. How to Write and Publish an eBook Quickly and Make Money and A Step-by-Step Guide to Crafting Compelling eBooks, Building a Thriving Author Platform, and Maximizing Profitability were two of the listed books. Friedman’s real books include The Business of Being a Writer and Publishing 101.

One of the falsely attributed books’ descriptions read: “This book offers practical strategies, tips, and techniques to help writers streamline their writing process, accelerate their eBook publication timeline, and maximize their earning potential.”

Libro de utilería de vacilada escrito supuestamente por Gloria Trevi y Sergio Andrade en un programa viejo de "Mujer: Casos de la vida real", titulado "Yo no fui, fue Teté".

[novakspector]

A romance holonovel called Grey Heart appeared in the libraries of the Alpha and Beta Quadrants, and quickly became a sensation. It tells the story of a steamy forbidden love affair in the Demilitarized Zone between a human colonist named Devorah and a Cardassian engineer named Tuhek. Nobody knows who “Dan Kuratski” is, as there’s no record of him anywhere in the Federation database. It’s believed the name is the pseudonym.

My friends/coworkers at my library are all fans of brilliant buckaroo Chuck Tingle, so this year saw the beginning of a new tradition of holiday cards: Tiny Tinglers, based on inside jokes within our department

First up: Pounded in the Butt by the Candy I Poop for These Children Who Beat Me with Sticks, a Tiny Tingler by Caga Tio

Interior: The Caga Tio Song

Next: Tenderly Caressed by the Personification of a Cheese Platter in the Treehouse Tavern Treehouse, a Tiny Tingler by Tuck Chingle

Interior: A spiced up version of the menu listing of the Treehouse Tavern's cheese platter

And finally: Seduced Somehow by This Low Level Adventurer Who Critted Their Charisma Roll and Now We Are Happily Married, a Tiny Tingler by Every Single Bard

Interior: A qr code that leads to a medieval cover of "Never Gonna Give You Up"

The final prints:

ANYWAY we have a lot of fun here at the library
