Submission guidelines
Please keep the following points in mind when submitting a shrine to the directory. In case of questions, you are welcome to contact me anytime.
- Subject: Only shrines dedicated to anime, manga or video game subjects are accepted. (Adjacent domains such as manhwa, manhua and donghua are generally accepted as well.) Examples are character, relationship or series shrines.
- Ownership: Only shrines of your own creation are accepted. Usage of fanart, designs or writing that are not your own requires permission and/or credit (depending on the source). AI-generated content or design is not accepted.
- Site type and size: Shrines of any size are accepted, including one-page shrines (e.g. Aquarelle) and shrine/fanlisting combos (e.g. death wish), provided that the shrines are standalone fansites, i.e. distinct websites rather than subpages or subsections of a larger site. A minimum of five distinct sections of content is required; exceptions may be made in case of complex or long sections.
- In case of fanlistings, the fanlisting may not be the main focus of the site.
- Fansites that aren’t specifically shrines (your mileage may vary), such as (pure) media archives, fanwork archives, mod compilations or forums, are not classified as shrines as far as this directory is concerned.
- Stage of completion: Shrines under construction are only accepted if the bulk of readable content beyond basic information is finished.
- Language: Shrines of any language are accepted.
- Hateful content: Shrines containing hateful content, such as bashing of characters, fans or specific groups of people, are not accepted.
- Link-back: A link to the directory, be it in graphic or text, has to be visible on your shrine before you submit it to the directory. Its specific location is not of importance; in case that it is in a hard-to-find location, please inform in your submission. Shrines without a link back may be removed.
- Updates: Please inform me about any URL changes or your shrine might be removed during a sweep for dead links. When updating, please mention both the new and old information.
