Interesting, very interesting. Although I feel I must be the one to inform you that we attempted something similar to this a few years back; a wiki known as the Sea of Fools Wiki, which can be found under our navigation bar, under Network. The premise is mostly the same as this; create a wiki that's more flexible with fanon creation and allow users to create nearly anything they wish (so long as it stays within the realm of One Piece, and doesn't delve into something entirely different, like Harry Potter or Dragon Ball.) The one thing about Sea of Fools that differs from this planned wiki though, is that the premise you've presented is merely one of a myriad of options to choose from. Writers and wiki goers alike can set their story after the main story's finished and do the traditional "follow in Luffy's footsteps" story, create an alternate universe where the Straw Hats and other canon characters and events never even existed in the first place, or there's my method, where the main characters and events coexist with the One Piece canon, but still tend to reshape the canon as a side effect. (Like if Pyrite Liger was more active at Marineford; leading to many possible changes in the outcome of events.)

I am not here to shoot down this idea, but to keep you informed we've attempted something very similar already. However, Sea of Fools is nowhere near as active as Ship of Fools, much to our dismay, so we're always looking for new members or any other way to keep the Sea lively.

In any case, I do respect this idea, as it's always a good idea to give people more freedom and options to choose from instead of limiting them. Albeit on the other hand, I could also argue that limitations can become true tests of wit and creativity; many of the more spectacular pages on this wiki were born out of the need to keep canon intact, which lead to resourceful, imaginative and creative ideas and development of said ideas. But I digress.

Should the unfortunate event happen where either or both Ship and Sea fail, I wouldn't mind giving your wiki a shot. Though for now, I have no intention of leaving Ship and Sea, as I love the community over here on Ship, and I'm firmly rooted in how comfortable I am on either wiki.

Thank you for sharing this with us, Daz. It's much appreciated.
