There's a ton of new games that have started in the last 2 months, so I just wanted to float a possible premise, and see if there was interest; either in the present or in the future.

Have you ever heard the expression 'escape into a good book'? Well it's not quite as relaxing as you'd think. All across the world, people are doing just that - one minute they're themselves, curling up with a page-turning mystery, an Austen romance, homework for an English class, and the next they've mysteriously vanished, only to reappear inside the book they'd fallen asleep reading - as one of the characters, no less - with no way back to their home.

Eventually, each of them will find one door within the realm of their story, one door that leads to a room that really should not be there. The doors all lead to the Great Library, unimaginably vast and filled with row after row of sturdy shelves, holding every work of fiction ever written. It's a gathering point, a place where those penned by Shakespeare and Sallinger alike can meet, move freely, and try to figure out a way to get back home. But while they do so, their actions begin to differ from the novels out of which they've stepped, and bring about changes in the classics we know and love so well. As the stories start to fall apart, so do the characters themselves.

It's a balancing act, it's a choice that everyone has to make for themselves. Can you play a part to bide some time, can you work with the others trapped inside the library to find a way home?

Sort of a twist on Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next series, if people are familiar with that at all; or a bit like the inverse of Living Fiction, if people played there a couple years back?
