The shrines of mine that I feel most clearly depict my shrining "style" would be Somewhere Only We Know and Ripples. Just tons of passion for the subjects I shrined, and good old fashioned analysis. I hope all of my sites fit my style, though. I just really love writing.

There are lots of others whose works mine share similarities with though (Destinie, Chrissy, Lorelei, etc), and although I think our styles are similar, they're different too, as every webmaster puts his or her own spin on their websites. I don't think the best shrines are awesome because ( ... )
