Mall Fight Grimoire

The Grimoire is an anthology thread, created by Knife-28 as a place for the writers to post Mall Fight related short stories, rather than roleplaying. The primary goal was to create a compendium of stories, in order to expand on the existing canon, and establish what is canon from the non-Alpha timeline threads. As such, most of the stories posted take place in the Alpha timeline and should be considered canon, with some exceptions.
