Hey Keith, that helps me lots!
I like the idea of labeling your notes into categories like Docking Bay, Off Screen Action and the Extra's Cast. Great organisational pointers for poor dyslectic souls like myself.
Just a query as to yor workload...
DO you ever get players to take responsibility for recording / noting stuff? What I mean is; Would it work that if in answer to a leading, provocative question a player authors some cool shit / NPC / event / setting / situation into the story that you nod along with and respond to by asking them to record it (a group notes pool somewhere)? My thinking is that they share the 'load' whilst you ponder your moves snowball, fuckery or simple barf apocalyptica onto their answer.
Workable, or not a good idea? I'm a big fan of mutable roles by the way, so long as it doesn't descend into squabbling over 'who's job is whos' in the secretarial side of any RPG.
