Somewhat related to this, has anyone here ever played Universalis? It's kind of a group story-telling game where there's no GM. You use coins to declare facts about the game world, establish conventions, create bad guys, etc. In a number of ways they are rather like Fate Points. I've kind of wondered how combining some of the Universalis rules with Fate would work out...maybe you could eliminate the GM, give everyone their own character, and use the Universalis rules to handle stuff. Might be a lot of fun. Of course, most Universalis games I played got very silly (but that's because the players were all very silly), but with a little discipline that's avoidable, easily enough.
Because I am Childish
Example
*Throws down coin*
"In this world, everyone sucks but me"
*Throws Down Coin*
"Also that Vampire is made of chocolate"

Worked at Hollywood VideoCheck, well only for a month
Eating Junk FoodWhen I worked at Hollywood yeah, but getting heathier now *Wings dont count*
Played WowCheck, but not anymore
Finish College? No,
But I got 8 hours towards an associate Degree, 4 of which are for ceramics, and I kick ass at that.
I kid, I kid, sounds like an interesting way to do things. I have this idea for a Zombie RPG in my head where basically you write a journal for a week of your real life breaking down your day, whats going on blah blah blah, hand it in to GM, he goes okay well Thursday 3pm Zombies invade, according to your journal you were at the store, you were at work, and you were asleep, what do you do?
And you kinda play it from there.
Sorry for the thread hijack. good luck
