Canvases, Frames, and Questions of Scale

finchSo I was look at completing a diorama (as you do when you're not busy enough at work) and I was thinking about Canvases and Frames. I have so far I've used the "story" tag to mean something closer to "universe" because I don't want to spam the community with two dozen different tags in the same universe. This makes it really difficult to declare something before or after "the story."
For purposes of "supplies and styles" tagging, do y'all think it'd be more in keeping with the spirit to write, say, stories about wee!Robin and his mom, even if timing-wise they'd be set in the middle of other things going on, or to arbitrarily declare that anything before 1850 counts as a Canvas and anything after say 2050 counts as a Frame because that 200 year span is my main focus right now?
(Also, for anyone else who writes in a sprawling universe, what are your favorite ways to keep all your notes and timelines organized? I'm now taking suggestions...)
