Is that one that asks for a code? Or is it one of the ones without a password bar?

If it has no bar just scan across each line with the mouse, when one of the letters you need  is there the pointer will change. It's just real tedious that way.

So what are the names of all the stories we found and how many parts are in each?

Here's what I have so far.

Eye of the Hurricane (1,2,3,4,5)
Sleeping with the Enemy (1,2,5,9)
Fractures (1,3)
Pulling the Trigger (1,6)
Princes (2,3,4,7)
The Artful Dodger (1)
Ares (3,5)

I'm really Really OCD, and it actually causes me problems to not have those in order. But what's bad is now that I've started I won't be able to quit..... :(
I guess a double shot of meds and try to disengage for the night.

Every other page loads so the text blends into the background. Sometimes it's with the text boxes but twice it's been with links. It adds in monkeying with it so I can try to solve the riddle. I need tolerable off trying to find the text for Dodger 3 until tomorrow.

I have been making text files, and copying the fiction into them to sort it all out.

Also, some of the clues require you to know some bits of semi-obscure lore..Like,
for instance: Who is Alamais' Bro(ther)?

No, it cuts from one thing to another in the middle of a sentence. Getting information as it comes is one thing. Hell, it wouldn't even be so bad if they would just stick to one story until they got to the end, instead of going back and forth and starting in the middle of things. This narrative style is so bad that it actually (Ghost, I swore I would never say this) would rather watch Jersey Shore than read Shadowrun fiction.

Excuse me, I have to throw up now.

It's not a narrative structure, per se.  Keep in mind this is a teaser game.

Eventually you'll be able to get the full stories that go with these pieces.

Bull, I have to say: this was actually a cool idea. Who thought of it: you, Jason, or Randall?

A huge thank you to DarkLoyd for the compilation of the stories found so far.

cheers!
Chaos? Lack of protection? Enemies lurking in the shadows? Sounds
to me like the fun’s just beginning. Sorry you’ll miss it, omae.

I understand that Bull and it is a neat way to temp us. And in my case it would have worked, had the order not been so wonky.
I wouldn't have minded the disjointed releases as long as they didn't skip around in the order of the stories.  Like never bypass ep 1 and go straight to 9...... they could shuffle thru all the different stories all they liked as long as it keep the continuity flowing. Serials my OCD can handle. But seven different stories that I have really cool pieces of,and I can only read one messes with me.
But over all I'd say my joy of new fiction over rides the inconvenience. Hussah!! new stories!!!

I'll add to it as soon as there is more.

I hate puzzles and hunting for pixels on a web page. So yeah, thanks for posting the fiction out so I could just settle in and read it.

It was a great idea, but you glitched the execution.

Just so you don't get stuck later on: some answers were given through twitter (you'll know which ones when you get there).

Give out through twitter how may I ask?
