Ah! Congrats, Lethe!! I always really liked that you had a Legend of Dragoon shrine! I haven't played the game in over 15 years but I still have my original copy somewhere in storage... visiting your shrine is always a nice trip down nostalgia lane for me. <3 I can't believe that it was a 5-way tie either! But I'm glad you won, it's well deserved. :)

Congrats Lethe! :heart: I adore all your sites and Valkyrie is definitely a favorite of mine. The design is simple yet pretty and I really love the navigation. Especially the use of quotes throughout. I also really enjoyed the 'Kindred Spirits' section, comparing Rose to other video game characters. Well deserved! <3

aaah looking forward to the poll results this time around with the hidden votes was so exciting haha! I'm so amused at the 5-way-tie that almost happened (just imagining Camy's reaction 8Da), and... I'm so surprised I won! O_O

Thank you so so much for your kind words, everyone - I'm so happy to see that this shrine is well-liked, since I've put a lot of effort into it and it's probably my wordiest work to date. /o\ <3 <3 <3

@Laura: omg I had no idea you had played the game haha!

@Angie: Yessssssssss, let's all write tl;dr essays about niche stuff.................
