About Me


IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER:


This is the only MySpace page officially affiliated with Chuck Palahniuk. This profile exists in relation with Chuck Palahniuk's official website at ChuckPalahniuk.net . Chuck does not administer this MySpace page, nor the ChuckPalahniuk.net website. It was created and is webmastered, with Chuck's clearance and blessing, by myself, Dennis Widmyer . Furthermore, Chuck doesn't read any of the messages or comments on this page, so when you write to him, you're actually writing to me.

SNUFF Tour Tshirts Are Here!


SNUFF Tour Tshirts Are Here! and boy do they rock. These are easily my favorite shirts we've ever made. We made similar shirts last year for "Rant", and people gobbled them up and wore them to the live readings Chuck did. Tshirts are now shipping! So get them in time for Chuck's next 'Snuff' reading and wear it to the event! The only color available is 'cum'. And the shirts come in all sizes from Small to 3XL. (though the 3XLs are in very limited quantity).

Chuck's Exclusive Essays Return!


Chuck returns this year with 12 brand new writing essays! These are exclusive lessons on the craft of writing that you will not find anywhere else. Chuck originally planned to turn these essays into outlines for a future book on writing. But as of now, plans for the book have been put on hold.

Unlike previous years where we hosted essays from Chuck, in 2008, these new essays are free one month after they are posted. Premium Members have them available the day they are posted. IE: If you come to the site on April 1st for the latest essay, and you are not a Premium Member, you have to wait until May to get access to the essay. Then, on June 1st, that essay expires and goes back to being Premium Only.

Some other benefits to becoming a Premium Member on our site include:

Read New Craft Essays from Chuck Palahniuk himself! Access two-years worth of previous craft essays (24!) from Chuck. Read 13 archived Q&A sessions with Chuck. Master Every Lesson in Chuck's Personal Toolbox. Full access to our unique Writer's Workshop. Locate Writing Market Information. Find How-to info on agents, editors, and more. Eliminate your last barriers and excuses and Get Published! at last! Make it your goal for 2008.

The Chuck Documentary On DVD!


Postcards From The Future: The Chuck Palahniuk Documentary takes a look at author Chuck Palahniuk's landmark year of 2003. With back to back books and subsequent tours hitting the public, Chuck's year was filled with success, controversy, and even phenomena. But what many fans don't know is that this entire year kicked off with a mysterious conference held on his work in a small town in Pennsylvania.

A Website You May Dig

As many of you know by now (hopefully), Chuck Palahniuk himself does not administer this profile. I do. Who is I? I is Dennis Widmyer. I also run Chuck's official website. But this isn't how I earn my primary income. No, for that, I have a day job at a cool web design company. This company I work for recently unveiled a new social networking site called Culture Clique .

Now, I know that by now you've had it up to here with the cacophony of new social networking sites. As have I. But I'm promoting this site because I honestly think it's pretty unique. It runs off the theory that, you'll listen to friends of yours for recommendations before you listen to anyone else. If someone you trust tells you he/she saw a great movie you gotta check out... or read a book that scared the shit out of them... or played a new xBox game that rocked their nutsack... their word is going to go a lot further than most.

This is Culture Clique . You review anything you want. You then invite friends of yours into your 'clique' and share recommendations with each other. It sounds simple, but it's actually quite fun. You can get sucked into this site easy. And if you dig it, please let us know, and invite others to join your clique.

Our New Layout

As many of you have hopefully noticed, we have a new layout! I pitched out a bulletin a few weeks ago, asking for the help from a talented Palahniuk fan to redesign our boring, blue and white MySpace page into something that resembled our actual website , and Preston Jarvis stepped up and hit the ball out of the park.

So a big Thank You to Preston. You did a great job, man. And you should all check Preston's profile out and Add Him... b/c a friend of the Cult's is a friend of yours. ;)
