I've only played until the end of HW MSQ so far, can I still join the event? It seems really fun but I worry that my characterisations wouldn't be accurate since I've not yet experienced so much of the story. (Would it also be possible to consider asking creators to include content info such as "Contains spoilers up to patch XX.XX" in their creations? If this is too logistically burdensome, it's totally fine to ignore this request.)
Absolutely! In terms of content, due to the nature of the event where most things are going to be venturing into AU territory anyway, I don’t think you don’t need to worry too much about people being too salty about characterizations :D
The fandom tends to be fairly good about tagging fics that have spoilers beyond certain a patch, but that is something we will remind writers of before doing their story pitches for matching.
If you are super concerned with avoiding spoilers, the biggest issue might be dodging them if you want to also be super involved with chatting with other contributors in the Discord. But if you want to just use it to keep up to date with scheduling etc, I imagine you could still join without having plot points and characters spoiled for you!
We would love to have anyone interested to be involved regardless of where they are in the story, but we cannot completely control what other contributors might say in the discord regarding story spoilers. It will be up to each person who has not completed the main storyline to decide if they are comfortable risking being exposed to certain spoilers if they want to join the event.
