^Maybe he's thinking of Star Wars Infinities, which was a comics miniseries in the vein of Myriad Universes or Marvel's What If...?

It bears repeating: Since at least a Pocket Books editor and CBS representative (presumably, though no editors listed) approved all these stories, they are not "fan fiction." I realize you probably know this and meant "fan fiction corner" to mean something like "wish fulfillment" or "continuity-focused" fiction, but I'm a persnickety enough nerd to not let it slide without a friendly (I hope) reminder.
Personally, I thought "Qarol," though not my favorite of the stories thus far, was wildly innovative and audacious - I would never have dreamed anyone could get away with a story like that. It would have fit nicely in the "Infinities" section of the old books.
It was a TNG story, cut and dried.
I mean "fan fiction" as quality (or lack thereof) judgment. It's licensed work and thus eligible content for Memory Beta.
It is unfortunate, as I wanted a paper volume similar to the previous ones.
My apologies, I meant "Speculations." (I think one of those stories had the word "infinite" or "infinity" in its title, so that misled me... Probably also had the Marvel Star Wars Infinities in the back of my mind!)
Those were from Dark Horse, actually. They were from 2002-4, before Disney acquired the franchise and returned the comics license to Marvel.
No apologies needed
Interestingly there is a The Lives of Dax short story titled Infinity, which depicts the death of Tobin Dax. An alternate version of that was presented in a SNW short story, called Trek. This boring fact was brought to you by: 12 seconds Memory Beta research, beacuse I apparantly don't have anything better to do
You're right here, I was just pointing out that we did see him that aggressive at one point.
Got it downloaded. I will try to get to it, by the weekend.
Something that irritates me a bit about the Kindle version is that you can't go directly to a specific story you want. You can only search by show (TOS, TNG, DS9, Voyager) and you have to manually page through until you get the one you actually want to read. There's no table of contents. 
There is one in the PC reader and in the iPad app.There's no table of contents.
Then why isn't there one in the macOS version? I always thought that a table of contents is part of the e-book itself, not a function of whichever app you choose to read it.
Especially since most of the other e-Books I have, DO have tables of contents (even when I read them with the macOS app). SNW '16 is the only one that does not.
Edit: I checked my iPad and it seems that when read with the Kindle iOS app, SNW '16 does have a TOC. Now I'm even more confused. Why would the same e-book only show its TOC on iOS and not on macOS?

I just read the Captain Braxton story. How can this be reconciled with "Relativity"?
In the SNW story, old homeless Braxton is left (at his own request) to live out his life on 20th-century Earth. But in "Relativity", Captain Braxton specifically says that all versions of himself were temporally integrated.
It's what happened
before he was re-integrated? Or an alternate universe where he stayed...
Got through two stories. I am a TOS fan but the first story was not that good. On the other hand the first TNG story was. I do not buy the Orgsnians are more powerful than the Q.
I think one of the Q Continuum novels established that the Organians were a "few levels" (or something similar) beneath the Q.
I did not recall that although I thought I read those three books.
Third story seemed like a TNG episode, the fourth even with Spock. Was not that interesting
I couldn't find anything to back my claim up, after searching through the books with the kindl search function, so I guess my mind made that up. Sorry.
