Unhenged

[threemonkeys]

Taking shots at sloppy journalism seems a bit pointless, but this one forces me to comment for some reason.

See, Stuff (Fairfax NZ site run out of Wellington) put up this story about plans to build a fake stonehenge, with the line "Nowhere in the world has a complete Stonehenge been built".

But the thing is just over the hill in the Wairarapa is a complete stonehenge replica that you can visit (although you do have to book).

Of course, you shouldn't rule out the possibility that I'm just taking the opportunity to point out attractions so that people will come visit the region.

We can't rule out that possibility because your blog is all about tourist-y stuff. Always. You need to hide it a bit, maybe behind a thin veil of book reviews or discourse on SF.

And I just realised. Lucy Sussex's story that won the NZ award was set in my universe, wasn't it? Or am I tangling her stories (since no-one has said). This may be the closest I ever get to a NZ award :).

Yes, Lucy's story is a New Ceres story that is a sequel to one written by Tansy I think - you can both take credit. Good luck getting a share though - Lucy had a really tight grip on that trophy.
