I wonder if anyone's done The Gamer/Sword Arts Online yet? Just fiddle the timelines so the day protagonist-whose-name-I-forget tries to take off from RL grinding and play video games is Launch Day for SAO, and he gets swept up in it but still runs on his own game system, complete with being a wizard-type player rather than the melee-only SAO gameplay... possibly converting anyone who parties up with him to that system as usual IRL, as well.
Being SAO is my reason for putting it in Should Not Be, because while there have been good fanfics written in that setting, the common result is much closer to canon.
