In this episode, we hear a recording of the first writing panel taught by Alex Vance at the Further Confusion convention in January 2008 in the Doubletree Hotel in San Jose, California.
In this panel, Alex discusses the Fundamental Story. Also known as the hero's journey. Lightly touching on Vladimir Propp's 'Morphology of the Folk Tale', the session quickly spirals out of control with a deconstruction of a bizarre hybrid of The Lord of the Rings and Star Wars.
Sadly, the recording failed after only half an hour due to a technical malfunction, but the portion that is recorded here, at least, should hopefully prove informative.
