Shrine Spotlight Winner - August 2014
Posted: Fri Aug 15, 2014 12:54 pm
Hello and welcome to another Shrine Spotlight! I want to thank Eimii, Chibi, Mayumi, Kiel, and holy knight for their nominations. There were so many wonderful shrines to choose from, it was not an easy task. But one shrine stood out to me, and that is the winner of the August 2014 Shrine Spotlight. I'm happy to present...
Larissa's DIVIDE is a stunning dedication. While I'm not familiar with any FF game, that didn't stop me from thoroughly enjoying the site and getting to know Squall. One thing I really love about DIVIDE is how Larissa presents the information. She explores Squall's character, which includes everything from his personality to relationships, in chronological order of the game. This unique setup, the amount of information, and the fact that Larissa injects such humor and insight into every page, are what make DIVIDE a site worth honoring.
----------------------------
DIVIDE was actually nominated by three people - Eimii, Chibi, and holy knight.
Eimii's blurb: “The first thing that caught my eye about Divide was the unique navigation! Its refereshing to see a shrine that views a character through the lens of the overall game. It is something I never thought to do. I love that Larissa injected a lot of her thoughts on the story as she discussed Squall as well. To top it off the layout is crisp and orderly, making it very easy to read and follow along.”
high seraph's blurb: "The unusual way in which Divide's content is written is one of its more noticeable features. Its casual, ironic and at times hilarious format turns out to be extremely elucidative, entertaining and engaging. The shrine itself feels more like visiting Larissa's mental processes as she goes through the game, making Divide very unique and personal, and the overall experience of reading it perfectly enjoyable. Also, there's no denying we all needed some fresh FF sites!"
Will add Chibi's blurb if/when she gets it to me. (No pressure, Chibs!)
Congrats, Larissa!!
