what story did you feel you did the best job of world-building? Any side-notes on it you'd like to share?

Hmm. Well, I don't really world build with historicals, I just slide my characters into a world that existed - as best I can, so I suppose it has to be my Sci-fi short story "Whatever the Risk" (which will, eventually, be a complete set of short stories about the same characters in episodic short stories with an overreaching arc)

Two penniless gutter-boys from Vath, a planet with nothing to recommend it other than dirt and rocks.  They come into some money and get their chance to get off the planet, and eventually end up with their own ship.  I'm having fun creating an entirely imagined universe.

ooh, sounds like that'll be an interesting read when you've finished :-)

the first story is out there already, in Queered Dimensions! I'm rather fond of the bois. Although they are from an imagined place, they have rather an England flavour to them, coming from me, i suppose!

That sounds very interesting! Love the idea of several shorts set the same 'verse.
