im writing a fantasy at the moment, and im going into extensive detail over the background of the world (more extensive than tolkien!). i personally love fantastical worlds, and the idea that you can create your ideal world, and it is also to some degree a world where i can place myself, and escape from the world I live in. also, i have such an extensive imagination, everyhting i look at i change to my liking and ideal, so it seems a shame not to change the whole world in a book.
