Be Good, Deliver on Time and Be Nice

Not really Story but sage advice for your co-op placement. From Stephen King through Neil Gaiman"

" You get work however you get work, but keep people keep working in a freelance world (and more and more of today’s world is freelance), because their work is good, because they are easy to get along with and because they deliver the work on time. And you don’t even need all three! Two out of three is fine. People will tolerate how unpleasant you are if your work is good and you deliver it on time. People will forgive the lateness of your work if it is good and they like you. And you don’t have to be as good as everyone else if you’re on time and it’s always a pleasure to hear from you."

The Narrated Story

Here's a sample of what I refer to as a "narrated story." It is a way to get lots of exposition into the track while the visuals support. It could be a way to go for some long stories. There's a whole bunch of these online.
