IIRC there was discussion of the collaboration process and how it came about in Scalzi's Big Idea column when the book was on the Big Idea but I am not sufficiently encumbered with spare cycles to be able to go check right now.
Say, that's pretty interesting, and icecreamempress would probably enjoy reading it. Ctein's responses in the comments section shed even more light on the collaboration.
