Not Pounded By Twiddor Checkmarks Because I Blocked Every Person Who Has One, Despite Elon Mork Standing Outside My House In The Middle Of The Night Crying And Begging Me To Join Twiddor Blue

by Chuck Tingle

After a cloudquake wakes George in the middle of the night, he hops onto the social media platform Twiddor in search of information. Unfortunately, instead of emergency services, all George can find are scam accounts and bots posing as the Billings news media to sell cryptocurrency. The strange part is, these are all verified accounts with an official blue checkmark.

George soon discovers that Elon Mork, the head of Twiddor, has eliminated all verified checkmarks and installed a program called Twiddor Blue, providing verification to anyone who pays for it. This chaos has prompted many to start banning every blue checkmark account they see, and George quickly joins in.

But things get strange when a crying dinosaur comes knocking on George’s door in the dead of night. It’s Elon Mork, and he’s begging George to like him.

This important tale is 4,200 words of a needy T-Rex billionaire grappling with the fact that he’s a loser and nobody likes him. There is no sex, but there is plenty of satisfying catharsis.

[Yuuto · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolutely loved this one, as well as the bonus story.

[Katharine · Rating 4 out of 5]

Definitely more commentary than "book", but still funny and thought-provoking!

If you haven't seen a book by Chuck Tingle, get ready for a rabbit hole. The stories are ridiculous, and the titles and covers just as much. I haven't read any because in not much into the sexy stuff, but this one caught me with the "not pounded." Is actually a 17 page story with another bonus story, followed by a bunch of links. Fun story - worth trying if you've never read a Tingler before.
