WORLDEMBER PLEDGE-2023

With WorldEmber 2023 literally happening next month, I've been thinking about what to focus on in my world of Crossed Realms (or any other worlds I create). This time around, I intend to create articles on two aspects of my world(s): the characters living in the world, and the powers that are present in the world. These two shall be the main focus of the world during WorldEmber, alongside anything else that is directly connected to them.
For the characters, I intend to write (& draw) the characters who will be the driving focus of each story I intend to create in the future. I will write them to show who they are, what they are capable of, and what is the driving motivation behind their actions. This will be done while ensuring that there are NO story spoilers in the character's bio.
The powers of the world will covering both the political/religious/commerical powers of the world, and the otherworldly phenomena that affect both the natural & otherworldly realms. As before, each one will be created to ensure NO spoilers are present yet explain what each power is about. This shall be the focus of WorldEmber Crossed Realms (and any other worlds I create during that time).
 
Genre(s): High Fantasy, Dark fantasy, sword & sorcery, science fantasy, steampunk/dieselpunk,
  Characters & Powers: There will be characters with special abilities that allow them to perform amazing feats, although the source of their abilities will be different in origin. These individuals will achieve notoriety in their societies, either being well-regarded, infamous, or something in-between. 
The Powers of the realms will be treated with a fascation that can be ventured safely, with recklessness, with misguided purpose, or with an evil ambition.
    Tone(s): 
Interacting with the otherworldly with results based on the actions of those involved.
Upon reviewing my current homepage for one of my worlds, I'm reminded of something that I have wanted to do now for a long while. Fully customize the look of the homepages for each of my worlds, giving them their own distinct look. This would clearly require knowledge of how CSS works, and artistic talent to create the images necessary to achieve this.
I definitely have the artistic talent for creating the images needed, as I have been drawing all my life as a illustrator. So that is covered. The only thing I have to keep working on is CSS, and I'm taking my time on this one as I continue to refine it. Any future changes I make to each of my world's homepage will be very noticable in the future.
Currently I'm making last minute mental preps for WorldEmber 2023 as I intend to hit the ground running this time. One thing that I shall make sure of is to sticking to my plan to write non-spoiler articles as I don't want to spoil any details of future storyarcs I'm currently developing and refining. Will it be easy? Yes and no. But will be worth it in my opinion.

Writing spoiler-free articles is a challenge in and of itself! I'm looking forward to seeing how you go about it.

Good luck with writing without spoilers. Do you have any tips for doing it?

One tip I can give is that to know what kind of story you plan to create, and use that knowledge to understand what to leave out from whatever articles you make later. Try practicing that offline with something like Scrivener, Final Draft, LibreOffice, or whatever app you prefer to use. Review what you created, see if it contains any potential future spoilers, and make another version implementing changes you decided to make.
