I'm looking more to discuss this idea, as opposed to look for players, since I want to work out some kinks. In the meantime:

I'm part of a rping community of a few friends that... Has been dead for a good number of years. The idea was that we played as OCs in a world mixing canon and original elements. For example, our characters would be shipped with a canon character (say someone from Dead Or Alive, etc), and battled an original villain.

Having seen a lot of YTP (youtube poop), especially the story-driven ones by MosBros, I've been wanting to set up a rp that worked with that premise: A mash-up of various canons, original ideas, etc, to create a fun sandbox for players to play with their imagination. 

For example: Always wanted to make a self-insert super saiyan with a hot anime harem? Go for it? Wanna be a squishy little ant that surfs sewers for a living? JUST. DO IT!

I'm here to ask if anyone's ever tried writing something like this. How did things go? Is this a feasible idea? Any tips about running such a rp? What are your general thoughts?
