Wow! Didn't expect people to jump on this so quickly!
Okay, so before we get TOO carried away, little bit more info.
Basically, this is all Washu-chan's fault. Something that she is NEVER gonna quite live down!
She was investigating something when she discovered that her home universe was getting some sort of energy feed from two other - one acting as a source and another acting as a distribution point.
We'll call the first Earth Prime (The IRL World) and the other Yggdrasil/Nidhog. And yes, this means that the Ah! Megami-sama world is central to the whole operation.
By trying to access the Yggdrasil/Nidhog system without actually knowing what she was doing, Washu essentially screwed up the entire system and put it on lockdown.
Now, normally when something like this has happened in the past, a temporary pocket-universe known as a metacontinuity would open up to receive visitors. Instead, for Washu a full-scale universe is created with randomized copies of people, places, and things showing up at random timeframes and locations.
This is what becomes The Metacontinuity - a universe that can truly act as a go-between for Earth Prime and the rest of the Multiverse. (Not that it matters in the first arc because everything was in lock-down.)
Now, just a few more things here...
I'd like to keep characters grouped together by their cliques at the bare minimum. For example, if you get Tsukino Usagi, you get either the rest of the Inner Senshi, or you get Mamorou Chiba. Not only does it make sense from the standpoint of destiny tying bonds to close friends, family, and allies, but it would also make things a bit easier to handle as no one will feel totally alone. And we've seen how dangerous that can make some characters in other stories.
Secondly... Let's do this all organized? Like, brief write-ups of your Author/Avatar-SIs, where you'll have shop setup, and what characters you want to be saddled with.
We can do the actual writing later, but probably on an In-Character thread. It'll keep things a bit more manageable.
As for how that'll look... Well, let's just say that all of you get job offers for... something... at an apartment complex in your towns... and only then when you arrive do you discover what's going on and how deep the rabbit hole is. (There will be a character from Ah! My Goddess (be they Demonic or Heavenly - your call who it is) waiting to brief you.)
Oh, and by the way? These characters? They're NOT WAITING AT THE APARTMENTS!
You will be cut a break by having your first group of 'refugees' show up soon after you arrive for work.
You need to go out, find them when they do show up... and then convince them to come with you!
Sound like fun? ^_^

Ben's had little luck with things over the past years, with his family dumping their issues on him and all. He has few friends and absolutely no girlfriends - he simply works, eats, and sleeps with the intent of just getting to the next day and paying off the bills he's racked up. Maybe that will change with this new job? He hopes so. It pays a lot better than the last two jobs he's had. Combined! :p
