Favorite fansites?!?!?
I just made a fansite dedicated to a specific topic and I was wondering if anyone had any favorite fandom-specific personal websites, or complex shrines you've seen on the indie/small web?
Here are some cool ones I found while looking!
It's Not Stupid (Invader Zim) NOTE: There is a fast moving gif on this page
Channel 27 (Weird Al)
Dan & Phil games NOTE: way too many flashing gifs on this page, but still very cool
EDIT: I wrote this at 5AM and forgot the indie web movement is new. I’m looking for fansites of any age!

I've also got a couple of fandom-specific websites of my own: Balamb Garden, devoted to Final Fantasy VIII, and Silent Hill, devoted to Silent Hill 2. I only started getting into website making last year, but it's surprisingly addictive!
EDIT: Oh, and

A lot of the older-school fansites are listed at directories such as Amassment (general), Emotion (anime/manga and video games), and In The Fade (RPGs). These shrines/fansites largely predate Neocities and the more recent indie web movement, so a lot of them are not mobile friendly, but some date back to 2000 or even earlier.
As Riona mentioned, I run a bunch! I have what's called a collective, which is where I list all of my various sites. You can find a lot more collectives at Cloudplane.
Happy browsing!

I think my favorite go-to is Empty Movement, which is a collective of Revolutionary Girl Utena fansites that's been going strong for 20+ years now (and one of the few people to still hold on to their .nu domain, which were very trendy in like, the mid-00s and then fell out of fashion).
Secondary shout-out to all the fansites <a href="https://www.gekidasa.net/>gekidasa</a> runs, some of which are of an age with Empty Movement and the first big boom of anime fansites in the early 00s.</p>

Two of my favorite Furby shrines are this one and this one - I think they're really cute and love the nostalgic vibe of them.
And this one isn't fandom specific, but I just recently discovered this amazing fansite dedicated to the Frutiger Aero web aesthetic: Frutiger Aero Archive.

- Allegory of Whatever (Persona 2 Innocent Sin)
- Tsumi x Batsu (Persona 2 duology, from 1999!)
- Heart of glasss (P3, Chidori)
- Amala Network (Collective of SMT fansites)
- Tomorrow's Calling (Exploring the economy & sociology of Animal Crossing)
- Sunyshore (Collection of electric pokemon, each plush has it's own story! Non-archive version focus exclusively on Raichu though)
- The Mewtwo Museum (Simillar to the avobe site but with Mewtwo)
- Level 20 (Gyarados shrine, it was so fun to read about all the different Gyarados the author has raised)
- Dark Claws (Sneasel shrine, I love how the author wrote about Sneasel's biology if they were real animals)
I have more sites saved here, but it needs updating + most are general websites. Then I also have a bunch of Persona 3 and DeSu specific blogs and small sites, but again most of them are fanart sites rather than shrines/fanpage.
(Also while writting this I noticed the Mitsuru shrine I liked got taken down and isn't archived, sad...)
