I don't know.  I bet a lot of people a few years ago would have said
it wasn't realistic to create a free encyclopia that anyone could
edit.  Now I have my doubts as to whether or not free quality fiction
will ever catch on, but fiction is rather outside the scope of
Wikimedia, and if it were realistic I certainly think it'd be a good
thing.
