Sad Puppies and Rabid Puppies. Oversimplified nutshell: Gamergate leakage.
A couple years ago, Larry Correia (Monster Hunter International) and Brad Torgersen (a number of midlength works that are apparently very good) decided to shake up the Hugos, which they saw as too ivory-tower progressive, by getting some of their works nominated, also other young right-leaning writers, and a few stinkers.
One of those stinkers, an author going by the pen name Vox Day (because misspelling "The Voice of God" isn't pathetic) has kept the same tantrum going way past its expiration date. I suppose I should note some of his works, so The War in Heaven (game and novel), SJWs Always Lie: Taking Down the Thought Police, and organizing GGinParis.
He's just crazy enough to think that sane people would find Chuck Tingle offensive, instead of just silly and a good sport about the whole thing. (My experience has always been that authors of self-published and fanfic porn don't take anything too seriously.)
So, anyway, Sad Puppies was to make a point. Rabid Puppies is because Day doesn't realize he's now making a mockery of himself.
My favorite takes on the issue have come from Marko Kloos, one of the right-leaning young authors whom Correia and Torgerson picked for nomination, and George R. R. Martin (this year's followup) .
As I understand it that was a shitty attempt to imitate Chuck Tingle by one of the Puppies.
What I'm saying is, don't go out of your way.

It's thread titles like this that help motivate me to get up in the morning and put a smile on my face. I laugh every time I think about how the Hugo awards went full retard and then got pounded in the butt for their trouble
Right now: The Sorcerers Concubine, which I picked up expecting a trashy fantasy romance but have so far found to be very well written with very nice world building. The plot may turn out to be a standard magical-construct-girl meets travelling-sorcerer-boy job but having an author who can bring some depth to even the minor characters is a nice change in the
fantasy pornsupernatural romance genre.---
Some others:
Critical Failures is probably the series I've enjoyed the most; it's got a hilarious absurdest style and I highly recommended it it to anyone that's every played tabletop RPGs with a bunch of people that seem intent on fucking around and derailing absolutely everything. The series has both novel sized "plot advancement" books and short independent stories that are the characters fucking up a specific situation.

The Dungeoneers is what happens when a dungeon is faced not by a party of adventurers but by a large well equipped team who systematically move through the dungeon with methods designed to minimize risk and maximize profits. Naturally things go wrong at some point. A very nice take on the invading-a-dungeon genre.
> “Made a mistake, did ye?”
> “No,” Durham said. “I solved a sheep murder.”
> Thud blew a smoke ring and took a pull on the flask, mulling that over. “Thinks ya might needs ta elaborate a bit on that, lad.”
> And so Durham told him. He told him of the strange ritualistic circumstances surrounding the discovery of the murdered sheep. He told him of the singular one-legged seamstress, the cryptic cipher tattoo and the secret fishmonger identity of the mysterious rogue, Harengs. He spoke of part of the evidence being eaten and another part being knitted into a lumpy sweater. And at last the reveal, when all of the seemingly disparate parts came together to show that it had been the victim’s sister Bluebell all along. By the time he was done, Mungo, Nibbly and Giblets had joined Thud in his audience.
> “The watch captain read my report,” Durham said, as he neared the tale’s end. “Laughed until he had tears running down his face then sentenced Bluebell to execution by way of being the main dish at the City Watch potluck. He at least remembers me now. Every time he sees me he asks if I have any new baaaffling cases and starts laughing again.”

Slammed In The Butt By My Hugo Award Nomination by hugo nominated author Chuck Tingle. He put this book out about 24 hours after he was nominated for a Hugo, and I'm not sure exactly what I was expecting but it wasn't a hilarious work of epic meta-fiction crammed into a short story. I seriously recommend this to everyone with a Kindle Unlimited membership, even if you're not into gay erotica; Chuck Tingle's massive library of work is full of satire, self referential humor and making fun of the genre conventions of indie-published erotica.
> As a fictional character, the very idea of me finding love within the lifespan of a short story is something to behold, a miracle that fills me with endless gratitude.

Yes, it has been.
Chuck Tingle books are amazing. I was especially impressed by the rapidity with which he came out with Slammed In The Butt By My Hugo Award Nomination. It was like three days after they got him on the ballot. And his twitter account, oh my God.
