Actually, I can answer this one for y'all!
Stories #1-7 are unknown, though it's believed that most, if not all of them were just tests by Knighty with no actual content. Story #8, on the other hand, is known to have been an actual fanfic entitled The Reports of Agent X; however, it can only be found on the Wayback Machine, the title and description are all that's there, and nobody's heard anything from its author, Cheddah, before or since.
The oldest surviving story—and therefore, the one generally bestowed with the title of "first"—is Story #9, The Greatest Equine Who has Ever Lived!, by Sethisto.
