Rather than quoting everyone, I think I'll just respond to godix, cuz he seemed to address the main concerns that I believe everyone had.

Definitely agreed on that point. That's another reason why it would have to use a single song. It would help to keep the theme constant. Besides, if everyone did their own thing, then they may as well just do a full video on their own.
2) One person controls the transtions.
This had also occured to me, but I threw it out the window for the exact reason you gave. The whole point of the MEP is that it's a collaborative effort, and a single person doing transitions would contradict that.
3) A non-public MEP. One person decides to start this an privately invites editors they think have the skill level to do justice to the idea. Which kinda defeats the point of mentioning the idea in the forums at all.
Well, it's a little late for that, yes? ;p However, this is the option that seems to be the most plausible. It's also why I posted this as an interest gauge. I'm not familiar with who on this site is good at doing crossovers.
I could see an individual editor doing it all by his lonesome.
But if I had wanted that, I'd have gone to the Suggestions section and said "more crossover vids, plz" - or better yet, I'd have done the idea myself.
I could see a small group of two or three editors working in private to do it.
Again, this is the best idea. No more than half a dozen editors, I figure.
After reading the responses and thoughts, I agree that this probably won't work as a public MEP. However, with the number of people that seemed to be interested in seeing and doing it, it's tough for me to dismiss the idea altogether.
Again, if there is anyone who would want to head this, I would very much welcome the intervention.
