Q: My story is, like, rilly rilly good, but it is 1,108 words (just 500 more than your limit). I think that because of the super high quality of my story, you should allow an exception, and let it run for the full eight minutes, don't you?

A: No.

Q: I know that my story is too long, but I'm open to edits. Can you help me pare it down to three minutes?

A: No.

Q: I like to listen to stories when I'm out and about. How can I download these stories to my iPod?

A: It's easy, and there are a few ways to make it happen... Here's one way for PC users: (A) Right-click on the underlined TITLE (not the blue arrow), select SAVE TARGET AS, choose DESKTOP (or My Music, or whatever you'd prefer). (B) The story will begin to download (You can start the download of other stories while the first one is downloading). When the story is done, a new icon will appear on your desktop (or wherever else you selected). (C) If iTunes is your default player, just click on the icon, and it automatically associates with your iTunes and will be ready next time you sync your iPod. If iTunes is not your default player, or you are synching to a different type of device, right-click on the new title icon on your desktop and then select OPEN WITH and choose your destination.
