profile view for quests created
Now that we have the exciting new feature of community voted lists becoming a quest, I wanted to ask if it is possible to see quests created by a user directly on their profile. Right now we can see the lists they have created so it would be nice to have a view to see what quests they created.

Whether it's sci-fi or fantasy, you like a big series. You love when a book says 1 of 5/10/50+. Is the reading order of the series hotly debated? Is there a wiki chart to show how the books connect? Even better. Come spend some time in these worlds.

At the outskirts, the buildings had been mostly wooden, with some river stone foundations interspersed. The deeper she ventured, the more stone prevailed, as though the city had calcified as it aged. Muddy dirt gave way to a smattering of stone lanes, then cobbles near the city's core.
This is such a neat way to describe how the materials that make up buildings in a city change depending on how new the parts are. The city's innermost section very well could have been all made of wood at the beginning too, replaced by sturdier stuff as time went on and the owners gathered up funds and materials and made connections with other townsfolk, cementing their stake on the place. Newcomers wouldn't have the same level of access and would have to gather up materials from their surroundings, like a forest at the outskirts, or something less expensive from the mills in town, like lumber vs. stone. It's interesting to think about regardless, but I love how the words Baldree chooses here lends a touch of magic to the city itself, even outside its fantasy setting, making it feel more whimsical and ancient and more like it has a lifespan of its own.

Sentient Architecture
"Place as character" is usually reserved for lush descriptions that bring environments to life, and less often used for environments that have a life of their own. This list includes houses, homes, castles, spaceships, anywhere people will spend time and call home. Not meant to include haunted houses, but a case could be argued for specific ones. c:
Only including the first in a series unless books feature different sentient places.

Howdy, well met, and good tidings to you, friend!
It can be a bit lonely in space, so we’re putting together a crew to venture into the farthest reaches of questdom. First series on our journey? James SA Corey’s The Expanse.
For those unfamiliar, this series is nine (9) books, which is par for the course in an “epically scoped” quest. However, this one is special because it’s actually intended to be read as three duologies and a final trilogy, so that’s what my hope is for our pacing.
We will be starting with Leviathan Wakes on April 1 and taking the month to read through and discuss! It’s about 600 pages (21 hours for our ear-readers) with plenty of thematic elements and characters to keep track of, so take your time. You’ll have a crew at your back to chat with!
Speaking of, in order to help us find each other a little better, if you make your own post, feel free to put OES🚀 in the header/title so we can easily see our buddy read friends. Make sure to follow standard Pagebound evergreen 🌲 etiquette by searching the forum and commenting on similar posts before making a new one.
We’ve got a great crew shaping up, and I’m looking forward to chatting with and getting to know you all as we progress! Godspeed, and good luck, spacer! 💕 🚀
