All the great authors can put their work and any summaries on their user pages to get attention. Still, it may be something that gets commendable authors noticed. I support it.

The pasta profiles are something that might not be that interesting. If they were written well, and introduced fresh ideas, instead of bringing up the same old events from the stories, then I could get behind it. There's pasta profiles on spinpasta that I've deleted for basically repeating everything from the original story. Information about the origins and references to the pasta characters, it may not be chilling and unnerving. I'm neutral on that matter.

As for the creativity section of the forums, I don't really see the point, there's channels for discussion of movies, books, the horror genre, etc. through blogs or the off topic board. It may promote drama, trolls, and spam, which is more hassle than it's worth. I've seen blogs users have posted about writer's block, the forums are available for users who need inspiration. I think no role-play for the whole site is a good rule also.

Everything else I can support, seems like a bunch of great news. User Pages aren't as visible as, say, a hub pages. Also, creating Author Spotlights/Profiles would create a uniform sort of experience for information about them, instead of everyone doing their own thing on their user page.

The new discussions experience will include moderation tools. What those are remains to be seens, but I believe it was discussed at length having the user rights group for forum moderator.

I would rather propose ideas and have them fail rather than fear failure in the first place, so I came up with a bunch of things that might possibly interest people. This is what happens when you put a bunch of other admin in a room. We start swapping war stories and how we do things, lol.
