1. Love Stories -- Story
   Love stories are quickly becoming a popular part of a bride and groom's wedding day reception. The "Love Story" is a 10 to 15 minute produced video of the bride and groom in various scene locations and touching emotional moments, with interviews of their story; how they met, what their first kiss was like, how he proposed, etc. These interviews and location shots are combined with photographs and music to create a powerful and emotional presentation that can be displayed on the big screen at your reception.
2. Golem -- Stories
   [I]nspired in part by the story of the Golem of Prague, Ted Chiang wrote a short story, Seventy-Two Letters, which explores the role of language in the creation of golems. The story won the Sidewise Award for Alternate History in 2000. It can be found in the collection Stories of Your Life and Others.
3. Photopia -- Story
   Although Photopia insists on telling a story (and the same story, no matter what you do), it can be worthwhile to go through it again and explore some dialogue options for interesting results. ~ Kyle Knight, All Game Guide
4. Myths -- Stories
   It should be known that myths have historical basis. For example, Homer's The Odyssey, in which King Odysseus of Ithaca tries to find his way home from the Trojan War. The Trojan War is known to have happened. However, the story as told is likely to have been embellished greatly by word of mouth.
5. Pigs -- Stories
   A must have for every pig aficionado, this 70 page photo book features 98 of the 100 pigs created for The Return of the Pigs 2007 (all pigs that were completed by press time). Also included are stories from pig artists and photos from the kick-off parade. Was $12.95. Now on sale for $10.00 each.
6. Ovid -- Stories
   Ovid's masterpiece is generally considered to be his Metamorphoses. It is an epic in form, 15 books in length, and devoted to the theme of changes in shape, although some stories not strictly limited to this theme are included. It is arranged in chronological order from the creation of the world to the apotheosis of Julius Caesar, the first 12 books being derived from Greek mythology, and books 13-15 devoted to Roman legends and history, beginning with the story of Aeneas. The transitions between the various stories are managed with great skill.
7. Abraham -- Stories
   [T]he story is there and the text does present Abraham as something less than a model of faith, part of a larger narrative in which Abraham seems to act in very unfaithful ways on many occasions. There are elements on that broader vista that tell us that perhaps a different story is at work than what we have assumed, that maybe the actual biblical text of Genesis wants to tell us the story in a different way than we want to hear it.
8. Maple Story
   In Maple Story, there are cities that players hang around when they're not abusing defenseless mushrooms. In reality, Maple Story is planting subliminal messages in the process, making you want to visit the real-life version of a city in Maple Story. Some of the more popular cities favored by 2nd job people are Ludibrium(which is Lego Land), Omega Sector(which is the National Air/Space Museum), AquaRoad(which is Sea World), Orbis(which is San Francisco, because of the clouds and fog) and El Nath(which is a mountain community up in Nevada, but for some reason, it has a Spanish name). Asian Story of a Maple have about 34 times more cities, but they're not nearly as populated. (216 people are spread out over 127 cities, rather than, in the case of MapleStory 350,000,000 people are located in just 4 cities.)
9. Oedipus -- Story
   The myth of Oedipus is the archetypal story of the man who is both exiled from and unavoidably drawn to his homeland. The relevance of the Oedipus myth continues to be an issue throughout the ages. Oedipus’ situation confronts the fear of meaninglessness, an existential anxiety of the 20th century of living in a world at odds with a sense of order or justice satisfactory to the human psyche. These themes form the basis for the conference presentations.
10. The Shining -- Story
    Executive Produced by Nanette Burstein ("The Kid Stays in the Picture"), 1977 is a two-part, two-hour documentary that tells the story of one astonishing year in New York City. It was a time when the city had fallen into decay, with too few jobs, money, police, schools, or social services. There was a city wide black out with major looting, a serial killer on the loose, and the Bronx was burning.
