With the new website, where did all the other fiction go?

Nice to see some new chronicles from the EON Magazine uploaded too! :)

You can see all the chronicles published on the old eveonline site at the community site under game info -> backstory.

Here's the direct link: http://community.eveonline.com/background/potw/

Note also that the evelopedia fiction portal has a handy link to the chronicles reproduced on evelopedia.

Incidentally, I'm not sure where the confusion arises from but the selection of stories on the new eveonline site's fiction section does not include any EON stories. The stories there are all revised versions of existing chronicles or new for the site provided in various electronic formats: PDF, EPUB,and MOBI. The two new ones are "Khadrea" and "Blood and Ash", however I encourage everyone to take a look at all of the stories as some examples have been significantly revised.

Also, the eveonline.com, fiction section is not conceived as a substitute for previous publication of chronicles on the old eveonline site. As Abraxas has explained, future chronicles and fiction will be published in evelopedia. The fiction section on eveonline.com is intended to give a sample of EVE's backstory fiction to newcomers interested in exploring it.

The section may change and/or expand from time to time but I can't say anything firm about that now.

Hope this helps,

Cheers,
DZ

Is there a way to tell which chronicles have been revised without looking at them one by one?

No. They have all been revised to a greater or lesser degree but in the main this has been stylistic or updating terminology. Plus in the electronic formats some have additional imagery. I would say "Timeout" is the most extensively revised of the selection, as that is a quite old chronicle and has been updated somewhat in this version.

I'm not aware of any of the revised stories having the essential nature of the story or their contribution to PF altered significantly, if that's a point of interest.

I like Khadrea, very nice story building on The Outcast chronicle.

I think the confusion whether these were E-ON stories arose from the fact that some of the art is re-used from E-ON, where it appeared with different stories.

Correct. The Timeout chronicle artwork (on the site not in the actual download itself) is taken from Avi Tarken's first appearance in an EON Chronicle. Godflesh has also used artwork from another EON story. I haven't read Blood and Ash and assumed it was an EON story from a more recent issue I've yet to acquire.

I'd also heard rumours EON was going digital and jumped the gun I guess! :)

Well as far as feedback goes, I hope the fiction section becomes something a little more permanent. The new site just really shines.
