There's something so endearing about that whole interaction between Ivan and Margaret, all of chapter 2 really. They communicate in such a sincere and honest way even if awkward and tentative. I love it, actually. Hope we see more of the two of them

Got a few recommendations to add some books here recently, so I wanted to put out a question - when y'all look at the list of books in this quest, is there anything that you feel is just criminally missing??

EDIT: The quest is a bit large and unruly at the moment, for now I'll be adding suggestions to a list and incorporating down the line! Thanks y'all!!

Immediately finding Ivan's chapter SIGNIFICANTLY easier to read than Peter's. There are actually full complete thoughts happening, not just fragments of thoughts stitched together jumping from one idea to another. Did anyone else feel the same way? Not sure if I have more POVs to look forward to that are totally different too.

Quests, created by Top Contributors, are such a labor of love, and they put so much time and effort into research and curation. As Pagebound grows, we have been brainstorming sustainable ways to create more Quests that the community is eager to see. We're trialing a new idea for a community-voted Quest, inspired by a List.

How this will work:

1. Royalty members can nominate a List (their own or any community List) that would make a great starting point for a Quest. Royalty members will receive a notification tomorrow with a link to a form to fill out by EOD March 31st to nominate. The form will include context about what makes for a great Quest.
2. The entire Pagebound community will then vote on which nominated List will inspire a Quest. Everyone will receive a notification on April 1st with a link to vote.
3. The creator of the winning List will be able to accept/reject.
4. If they accept, we will create a Quest inspired by their List, adapting the title & book list if necessary to fit Quest guidelines (for example, if a List has 20 books, we will reduce it to 15 for a Side Quest; if a List includes all 7 books of a series, we would put book 1; all books from the Quest would come from the original List curation). In the Quest description, the List creator will be credited and their List linked. The resulting Quest could be either a Main or Side Quest, but it will not be open to book additions since there will not be anyone actively maintaining the book list (similar to when a Main Quest hits its 100 book cap and is closed to further additions).

We hope this idea will encourage quality List-making, give the entire community a voice in Quest creation in a sustainable way, acknowledge our Royalty supporters, and result in more diverse Quests. We think it can be a fun community-building activity! That said, we will see if this trial achieves those goals before deciding if and how often we'll repeat it.

Thanks for helping us trial and your open-minded participation! Jennifer & Lucy
