"Dr. Chuck Tingle has spoken — and in a good and proper world, that should just
about wrap it up for NFTs.
Chuck Tingle writes surrealist gay erotica, with occasional dinosaurs and
anthropomorphised objects and concepts. Most of his “books” are 4,000-word
short stories — “tinglers” — usually with a bonus story. He writes quickly,
often about current events, and puts out a new short book every two or three
weeks.
Tingle is famous for such works as
Pounded In The Butt By My Own Butt, the
Hugo-nominated
Space Raptor Butt Invasion and the full-length
Trans Wizard
Harriet Porber And The Bad Boy Parasaurolophus: An Adult Romance Novel.
Not Pounded follows from Tingle’s previous plan to do a book as an NFT. Tingle
announced on 18 March that he would be doing a tingler as a single copy with an
NFT. [Twitter, archive; OpenSea, archive] Tingle’s fans went “oh no,” and
Tingle found it cost $200 in gas to put a token on Ethereum. So he read up on
NFTs, was horrified by the environmental cost of proof-of-work blockchains, and
released this book later on 18 March, the same day. (Tingle works fast.)
Tingle is not a fan of NFTs."
