Stories set in the Oversaturated World, some silly, some less so.
It was always interesting to see how multiversal wanderers reacted to being rerouted to customs rather than just dropping in. Some staggered as they tried to process what had just happened. Others gawked at their surroundings, particularly Sunset's immense form looking down from where the ceiling should be.
In this case, the newcomer didn't let the shift even break her runway strut. She did permit herself an arched eyebrow. "Ms. Harshwhinny? My word."
Ms. Harshwhinny met the eyebrow with one of her own. "Can I help you?"
The newcomer dipped her head, willing to admit she was outmatched. "Ahem. Yes. I represent the Infinite Carousel. Of Rarities, by Rarities, for everyone." That certainly explained the white skin, purple curls, and immaculate attire.
"I see. And your business here?"
"Is business." The Rarity gave a smile with teeth as bright as her skin. "We were hoping to confer with the local Rarity, see about bringing her into the fold as it were, possibly incorporating your Earth into our trade network."
"I am afraid, Miss Belle—"
"Just Rarity in my case. Don't worry, it happens all the time."
Ms. Harshwhinny's glare made it clear that interrupting her did not happen all the time, and it happening again any time soon would not end well for Rarity. "I am afraid, Miss Rarity, that we are not presently open for business, unless you also deal in repairing the fabric of space and time."
"Ah." The winning smile admitted defeat, and the Rarity coughed into her fist. "Not one of our prefered materials, I'm afraid. I'd have to pass your query over to R&D. Your people would have to talk to my people on the particulars; I'm just in Customer Relations." She produced a white card as if by magic, which was of course a possibility. "May I at least leave a business card?"
Ms. Harshwhinny nodded and held out her hand. "You may. I'll see to it that the local Rarity recieves it."
"Most appreciated. Best of luck with the, er, space-time situation."
"Of Rarities, by Rarities, for everyone," Rarity read dazedly. Aside from that and the name of the company, the only mark on the card was a logo of a diamond framed in fractally layered borders of ever more, ever smaller diamonds, the overall effect somewhere between crystals, lace, and the contents of Rarity's dreams.
Applejack waved her hand in front of Rarity's eyes, to no apparent reaction. "I think we lost 'er."
"Sunset, darling," Rarity said distantly, "how long do you think it will be until we can openly trade with these esteemed young women?"
"The universe is barely stable enough to admit the weakest alicorns in Equestria, and that's with a portal I can account for rather than whatever they're using. It'll be at least a decade before we can join some all-Rarity conglomerate."
"And there's also all of the legal questions regarding an economic entity spanning multiple universes," said Twilight. "This is going to raise some questions that might not be answered by the time the universe can handle this even if we start asking them today."
Rarity waved that off. "Yes, yes, physics, ethics, all well and good. This is my business model."
The lunch table went silent. Finally, Dash said, "Wait, seriously?"
"Of course! My counterpart in our Equestria has already been giving me advice on how to handle my business, to say nothing of our merger plans down the road—"
Sunset narrowed her eyes. "Your what now?"
"It makes sense that we're far from the first Rarities to dream of this sort of thing." Rarity gave a dreamy sigh. "I can only imagine the splendor so many of me have made."
"What do you think they do with all the Sweetie Belles?" Pinkie mused.
Rarity shuddered. "I'm not sure I want to know."

Would an infinite Sweetie Belles in infinite kitchens eventually create food? And at what cost?
Too bad. I'm sure you're going to find out anyway...
will the League of Sweetie Belles appear

In order: yes; too high
9633747
It depends on how you define "food".
Hey, is this leading up to Canon contact and integration wih SoTS and The League of Sweetie Belles? Cause that would be so awesome!
9633747
The cost would be an infinite number of kitchens.
So, given that Pinkie may well be dimensionally transcendent too (it would explain so much...) that's at least two interworld leagues.
Or, well, one interdimensional league and one Pinkie Entity crossing infinite dimensions.
if it's the same as Rick and Morty not good for the Sweetie Belle's
I'm pretty sure that there's a danger of a sort of 'critical mass' effect. If you have enough versions of the same being in the same place or even sharing information then you may get some really weird instabilities starting, maybe a kind of quantum 'immune response' where the universe tries to protect itself from the impossibilities.

What about the Sparkle Census?
9633747
No. Trust me, we've tried this experimentally. It doesn't work.
9633837
Just two? Just two... Heheheh... There's more than that, I guarantee it.

You forgot the Lyras.

I did at that, thanks for the catch
Is the Infinite Carousel from another story/series? It looks like an absolutely stellar concept, and I would love to read more.

They've shown up in a few other places. Don't know if they have their own story, but they're a fairly well-defined entity. Not an actively malicious one, but it's just as well they're currently blocked from proceeding here. The Infinite Carousel combines remarkable success at convincing more Rarities to sign up with remarkable lack of attention to all the potential consequences of introducing an organization of its nature and scale into any given world's economy. It's unclear how much of this is due to all the Rarities sort of reinforcing each other's less rational periods and how much is the basic fact that it had an existence prior any association with Rarities and was fairly predatory from the beginning (the first Rarity took it over with the intention to reform rather than destroy it), but while basically well-intentioned and certainly generous, relations with the Infinite Carousel sometimes result in the introduction of albino pachyderms as an invasive species.
