If you wish to be affiliated with Rapture, the only real requirement is that you own a Final Fantasy VIII character/couple shrine with a decent, preferentially balanced amount of content. Just email me with your URL and I'll get back to you with an answer.

Sis
Although Ellone is not a personal favorite of mine, what Laura has managed to do with Sis is truly remarkable, especially considering the pathetic amount of actual screen time the character in question is given. This is a friendly, heartfelt tribute, with more content on Elle than I've seen anywhere else and beautiful designs to match.

Whisper
I love Fujin. In fact, I love the idea of Seifer's posse in itself (their noble mix of inconditional loyalty and clear realization of their best friend's mistakes), but Fujin is just the best, ya know? With that said, I think it's a shame that dedications to her are so scarce, verging on nonexistent. This is why I'm so glad Whisper exists: once again by Laura, this shrine is a strong statement that, despite being a minor character, Fujin is appreciated.

Problematic
I hereby present to you the majestic Problematic, one of the most comprehensive, in-depth shrines to a Final Fantasy VIII character: hell, one of the very best in the whole Final Fantasy community overall. I never liked Seifer as a character, but what Tamisa has done here is simply awe-deserving; she has truly taken the time to thoroughly analyze him, and the result is the sum of everything I admire in a website of this kind.

Save the Queen
Along with Zell, Quistis is my least favorite character in the Final Fantasy VIII main cast: still, this is the kind of tribute that actually makes me understand her better. Save the Queen is another one of Tamisa's creations, and this is a quality warranty in itself: full of in-depth, beautifully written essays, this shrine is bound to keep you occupied for a while, even if you're not a Quistis fan.

~~Fragmented~~

OMFG, lyke, whoo-hoo! This, my dear visitors, is one of my top favorite Final Fantasy VIII character shrines out there. Authored by the amazing Europa, Fragmented is a tribute to the wonderful Laguna Loire that offers absolutely no multimedia: instead, it is packed with well-written, accurate (and what a rare thing this is!) and often humorous essays on everyone's (well, mine, anyway) favorite airhead with Peter Pan syndrome. Finally, a website that actually does Laguna justice!
