Perhaps you need to play to your strength: building detailed settings. You sound like someone who could build quite a career with franchises built around your storyworlds... and in a world where transmedia entertainment is rapidly becoming the standard model, this is an advantage, believe me.

So... build your worlds. In fact, always be building your worlds. At a certain point, expose them to the public and invite others to create content with your storyworld as the setting. Publish the results.
