Hi Rika, I remember you as well. Welcome, it's great to see you here and to hear that we are being recommended.

In terms of what content to have, one way to brainstorm new ideas is to ask yourself, "If I was talking about this subject to a friend who didn't know much about the subject, what would I want to tell them? What about a friend who already knows about the subject?" In shrines, I like some introductory information about the characters, world, etc, but I also like content that reflects your thoughts and opinions. In the latter, people's personalities can create very interesting pieces of work. Some will write very personalized anecdotes, some will make comical lists, some will compare/contrast the subject to a totally foreign subject matter. It's your personal space, so feel free to have fun with it.

Regarding organization of content, I do not have a preference between either one of the options you mentioned.

For relationship shrine content, try browsing the relationship shrines in our directory, as well as ones in other online directories. Visiting other websites can often spark inspiration for your own unique material.
