I think it's a nice idea in theory, but in practice it would just become clogged with already started RPs and dead RPs like the main OOC's are now. The best way to find a just started/starting RP is to check the replies count - and look past page 1. Sometimes RPs sit waiting for attention on pages 2 and 3 because page 1 is full of active RPs.
Do a bit of digging and look for OOCs/RPs with low reply counts and you will discover exactly what you are looking for methinks.
