Nonono, if we start talking trope-speak I'll have to start reading it again and I'm not sure I can dedicate the necessary 25 hours a day to that.

...Or we could just paraphrase the ideas into Tropes for those who are familiar with Tropes.

The Pitch generators on TVTropes may be helpful.

On the other hand, maybe we should open up a Dropbox account, share around the username and password, and then we can put all these little resources and bits and pieces in there.

As I already mentioned some times recently, I'm currently watching an ongoing Radiant Historia LP.
As, basically, the premise of that game, the main character switches between two different timelines, with both of them interacting. Stocke (the RH main protagonist) is perfectly okay with this.
I'd like to deconstruct that trope in our game, whatever it will be, as it struck me that switching between two realities with vastly different situations would probably destroy someone's sanity... being friends with someone who became your enemy in the other timeline, or talking to someone who's already dead in the other reality. I doubt a human could actually handle something like this. Either you would go completely insane, or at the very least everything that happens would seem surreal and relative to you.

Oh, that depends entirely on how much a person can take. Someone who has taken enough in the past to just not question things as much anymore (or who simply doesn't give a damn) probably wouldn't have any problems with something like that.
Needless to say, I for one can take a lot. You kinda have to be able to take a lot if you want to keep your sanity in this crappy world.

...So are we actually going to do this or did Maxaxle get his wish we lose interest? :|

I'm not sure. I guess enthusiasm kind of died down. :P

If there'd be Epicivation Cookies, then everyone would get interested again, but because there's nothing like that... :(
