Our story is about an author who has been writing a series of science fiction fantasy books for his entire life. His first few books were good, but as he kept on writing, he kept making the same story again and again, till it became a mockery of itself. It got so bad that even the characters from his own book started hating his story.
The event is hosted by Louis Savy, founder and festival director of SCI-FI London.
