A few notes. These stories are not canon, despite being written by a canon author (J.G.) and regarding canon characters (Eldritch and the Outcast Corner, mostly). The reason for this is that these stories were written BEFORE J.G. was invited into the non-existing Canon Cabal. A number of elements in these stories were apparently (I have no inside track, just an educated guess) incompatible with the super-secret Canon Bible and therefore, they were discarded.
You may note the lack of a pre-Cabal version of the Eldritch origin story, "Upheaval." The reason for that is that I no longer have this original draft. As I recall it, I compared both versions at the time the new, Cabal-approved version was posted and found that the two versions were basically the same, with only minor tweaks and improvements (mostly by adding actual dates) -- "Upheaval" was canonized in essentially unchanged form, so I saw no value in keeping the earlier draft. I'm still digging through my old backups and it could surface eventually, but don't hold your breath for it.
The following stories, though, are a different matter. They comprise an adventure that is very different from what eventually made into the Canon. J.G. basically discarded them and started over, reusing some plot elements but taking the characters in another direction. While they are canon-incompatible, they might still illuminate a few details on the characters' backstories -- details that didn't make it into canon yet, or at least not in as explicit a manner. Since there is apparently some curiosity regarding these stories, J.G. authorized reposting them.
The first story begins right after "Upheaval," and focuses on our favorite velociraptor...
