Needless to say, I'm very much in favour of this idea. And as Wormy said, it has been done on a small scale before. I often run to Ghelae or Wormy soon as I'm working on weapons for my fiction, I know I've coded for Cyrannian's pages once or twice, and I do remember in the very old days Imperios edited my and Xho's pages and added some useful stuff (wow, Imperios used to be active? :o). I do definitely think we could easily create a super-fiction this way. But while I do like Monet's IRC idea that we can bolster up each others' fictions to make the currently existing universe even better, I do think you'd run into more roadblocks that way, some people resistant to change, us not knowing if it even works.

Therefore, I feel it would be best to start, as a proof of concept, with a new fiction. Reuse extremely little from the current fictionverse and create a new faction entirely from scratch, in its own setting. It would begin separate from everything else. If it fails, then at least we tried. If it succeeds, we can decide what to do from there; set it in an alternate reality, set it in some distant future of the current universe, or work it into the current universe? Should we create different factions and populate this new setting entirely? Should we take the expertise and boost up everyone else' factions? Unlimited possibilities.

Also, Oluap, I don't think you give yourself enough credit, but at the very least, you can co-ordinate it and nag everyone else to do stuff!
