Best of luck. This is a very good idea. (May I suggest posting notification on livejournals wb_yaoi and wk_fiction?)

To kick off with the obvious. In Saiyuki, the Sanzo-ikkou would be those martial Buddhist monks who chased samurai off the field of battle. I can just see Kanzeon Botatsu as the ruthless abbot.

In WK, Schuldig would make a good kitsune (or possibly satori - 'an apelike creature that can read minds'), while Farfarello could be a hungry ghost. There is also the kamaitachi, the slashing weasel spirit, which certainly sounds like Farfarello to me. You could have Nagi as Daidarabotchi, the mountain-moving giant. Weiss itself could be bakenekos, shape-shifting cats.

Either Gojyo or Yohji would make a good Prince Genji.

And, on a final note for many fandoms. Japanese tradition has Keseran-parasan 'a mysterious white fluffy creature'. Another explanation for Mary Sues.
