So, I stumbled across a few threads here on Shadowgrid and over on Dumpshock about Hidden Fiction, presumably leading up to SR5 and/or Storm Front.

Does anyone have concrete information of what this is? The stats page is unreachable for me, and I've seen Sengir's compilations over on Dumpshock, but they are incomplete.

Having only read about halfway through Storm Front, I was pleasantly surprised to see some new stuff in there, but now I'm left wondering if all of it is from Storm Front.

Anyone have a clue-by-four they can throw at me?

I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure all the hidden fictions were "previews" of Storm Front.

They were all previews of Storm Front, taken piecemeal out of order, with a bunch of annoying puzzles you had to solve and hoops you had to jump through in order to read them. If you have Storm Front, you have everything that was released in the Hidden Fiction, without the headaches. As I said before, it was a neat way to draw interest in the new edition, but the execution failed miserably.

Cool! I'm off to finish reading Storm Front, then! :)

Thanks, Mirikon; I noticed your contribution on the dumpshock forum. And yes, those puzzles seemed interesting, but waiting around for a twitter account might not have been the smoothest execution ever. Still, good read so far.
