The following is my anthology collection of oneshots and other scraps that wouldn't merit their own release. Not all of it will be up to my usual editing standard, though some of it might be. Here are the contest entries, the oneshots I abandoned, or just didn't think warranted a cover and a proper release. I've always been more about long-form fiction, but the shorter stuff has to go somewhere.

Consider each chapter to be independent, and seeing something here is effectively a guarantee there won't be any more of that thing. Context for each section in their authors' notes.

Cover by Zutcha.

Chapters (9)

Hope im not too late to the party

Thanks for releasing!

A revolving door of Anons? How troublesome.

I can't say I really understand what happened.

Genuinely disturbing subject matter with the crassly endearing feel any good Anonfilly story should have. Very nice. I'll keep an eye on this collection.

Read this one on Patreon. Still a very cute bit of fluff. Thank you for it.

I like this story. Like it a lot. Generates lots of questions. Maybe I can imagine some answers. Who knows, some of them may be right.

A promising start. There's enough uncertainty here that it could be expanded into a larger story, but this is still some lovely interaction and exploration of realistic consequences for a former conqueror.

I love this lol

A fun poke at one possible outcome in multiverse travel. I could see a seasoned dimension hopper instructing another on proper etiquette when one meets oneself.

He’d been here less than an hour, and already he thought one of the natives was a solid 8.5 out of 10.

Man's out here Speedrunning the brony pipeline

Rah rah fight the system!

I want to say I’ve read this before… was this on your patreon?

Yes. That's what I created Starscribbles for, a place to put those short stories from the patreon that otherwise wouldn't make it to fimfiction.

i can't help but think of a comic book story:

something about this one reminded me of the "sunjackers" comic:
https://askthesunjackers.tumblr.com/

usually being easy to read isn't a problem in chess, but I guess the exceptional Twilight "Open Book" Sparkle is an exception :rainbowlaugh:

"You didn't know how to play," Twilight whispered. "But you did whatever upset me the most." And the longer they played, the more Rainbow won—the less clearly Twilight thought.

this reminds me of TWO episodes of the comic strip "Foxtrot":
"andy" (andrea) and Roger are playing chess.
andy says, "i could move here..." roger smirks.
"or i could move here..." roger smirks.
"or i could move here..." roger looks horrified!
"i think i'll do that."
roger facepalms and says, "dang, you're getting good at this."

a later comic:
Roger says, "i could move here..." andy smirks.
"oh i could move here..." andy smirks.
"or i could move my queen here..." andy looks horrified!
"I think i'll do that."
andy says "that's really your move?"
roger grins and says, "andy, let me give you a little tip-"
andy says, "check."
roger yells, "YOU TOOK MY QUEEN?!"
Andrea grins and says, "let me give YOU a little tip..."

:rainbowlaugh: If anything can happen, it does. Just not necessarily to you. For a given definition of “you.” Delightful bit of multiversal silliness.

Perfect scene between these two. Very glad I caught up on this anthology.

May I possibly hope for a part 2? Why the chains? Where are the living quarters?

Blair went looking for Heaven, but found Hell instead.

Be careful what you wish for. You just might get it. And a centuries-old support queue.

Poor Blair. Good luck to her Hopefully whatever knowledge she finds is worth it.

Please, sir, may I have some more?
