I'd be interested in this, mostly because A: My access to a computer with Spore on it is intermittent at the moment (long story), so being able to write while other people are able to create the pictures would make things significantly easier for me, and B: I've noticed I tend to leave big gaping holes in my worldbuilding (both here and on other sites), then wander off to pursue a new idea or gimmick without filling those gaps. The nature of this means someone else can offer to fill in those holes if that's something they're interested in, and the worst case scenario if that doesn't happen is that someone who is invested in the fiction being done has to pester me into getting it done, again solving the problem.

I feel like if we're starting from a "clean slate" as it were and focusing on a smaller scale of individual planets and societies, we could come up with future wars/characters arcs/a general "plot" for the setting before/while we set up the lore itself, while obviously making sure to leave things open-ended for future worldbuilding and stories. Just a suggestion.
