Wossgate in the News

[ffutures]

The row over Jonathan Ross's selection (then quick resignation) as Hugo Award presenter has reached the London Evening Standard, apparently because his wife has closed her Twitter account.

Still not convinced it's a major news story...

Who decided to ask him gets murkier. Ross says Gaiman asked him (and we can all agree on that.) Gaiman says that he was asked by one of the con chairs - and as he goes on to say 'he' we know which one - to ask Ross. Before then, gnomic utterances from Loncon 3 on twitter and Facebook might have been interpreted -- and were - to suggest Ross volunteered.
