I'm pretty sure that any narrative that is shared by a substantial number of authors inevitable goes down that road, though Marven may well be the one that went furthest.

Just look at what happened to the Star Wars extended universe - and that with a much tighter creative control.

What's 'substantial'? The Wild Cards novels have had a couple of dozen authors, I think (though one editor) for several decades, and maintained continuity rather well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_Cards
