These games hosted at the Giant In The Playground forums are part Mega Crossover, part MS Ting. For one reason or another, a random assortment of characters from fiction have appeared in the world of a series considered to be poorly written (traditionally Twilight or The Inheritance Cycle), frequently with some motivation to kill its main characters. The game ends when all main characters of the work are dead. Sounds like a Hate Fic, except that interactions between Player Characters can make up a significant portion of the plot, to the point where the series being "lynched" is little more than a backdrop.

Over time, the "kill all Mary Sues" aspects have softened, to the point where some players will attempt to defend the canon characters, and some may be left alive at the end of the game. A game has even been run for The Lord of the Rings (which the players generally hold in high esteem). Originally each game took place in a separate continuity, with no interaction between them. Unless you're Deadpool.
* I can't help the way I am! Although as of game Twilight III there has been something of a Continuity Creep leading to the games becoming part of a multiverse. The first game is currently being transcribed into a Fanfic, which can be read here.
