Bird flu fiction as a blog January 14, 2008

Posted by Andy Roberts in : blogs and community, UK , trackback


The avian influenza or Bird flu H5N1 virus represents an all too serious threat to the world population as experts are predicting an pandemic not as a question of “if” but “when”. Here’s an effort in public consciousness raising through the medium of fictional writing, and in the format of a blog.

The story has already started but it won’t take long to catch up on all the posts from January 2nd to date and then probaby the best way to experience would be by subscribing to an RSS feed but there doesn;t seem to be one working at present.

Also there has been an outbreak of visitors from the Flu wiki who don’t seem to appreciate the subtleties of “in character blogging” or that the events are situated in in a Scottish cultural setting.

There’s supposed to be a documentary of similar focus being developed by the BBC - a series I believe.

There’s already been one last June, called Pandemic but it’s more of an explanatory documentary than a fiction series.
