Thanks for rec-ing this! That's really kind of you! :D
I've seen some fan-shrines (or, pages being labeled as such, it probably looks quite a bit different from what they look like back in the day) on neocities, and yeah, definitely more of a place for people to put images/thoughts on characters and such on a page instead of really informing others. Fan websites, in my experience, sometimes have a section or two on how to get into something (if the timeline for entries is confusing) or what it's about, so that might be closer? Still a bit of a spoiler minefield and not quite aimed at people not already familiar with canon, though...
