This is such a great idea! I may have to steal it one day, since I'm fascinated by the details of how a story came together. It sure beats leaving an enormous Author's Note!
My question is this: when you're creating a new world, do you map out all the little details before hand, or do you just create as you write? I'm thinking of things like the Helios 'verse, where June's laughter brings flowers to bloom. Was that just a spur of the moment thing, or did you plan to include that all along? Do you keep a file, or are the details all in your head? (Bearing in mind, I may steal some of your ideas/methods if I like them!)
