Hmm...
From my remembering, the stories do stick with the family not the lot. You cannot access the story mode while building an unoccupied residental lot. If I move a family away from the neighborhood view and put them to another lot, the stories in story mode stay with them. If I move individual sims out or all the sims die (or all the students move out of the college), the story mode is lost and if I move another family in the same lot, the story mode for them is empty.
I have also found that there are files that contain the text under picture and under what picture it belongs to.
It's located in Computer/Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2/Neighborhoods/N(number)/Storytelling and under the many pictures you've taken with their thumnails you can find webentry XML-files. There you can find the title (Usually "The Family"), pictures and texts.
Fun fact. Usually the title for neighborhood stories are "Welcome to !", for family story is "The Family", and for the student story is "The Household". You can click on the title in the story editor to change the title.
When The Sims 2 site was up, you were able to share the stories in there. People used it to share stories and tutorials.
