Owned and maintained by Kielle, subreality.com was her personal domain, to host to her various online projects, fannish and otherwise. She also provided email addresses for fanficcers in a period where many of the free sites were becoming more problematic. From the welcome page, an explanation:
www.subreality.com...houses the writings and HTML obsessions of one Kelly "Kielle" O'Guinn from Southern California, USA. That's me. I aspire to be a "real" page designer, but until then I'm practicing and enjoying myself. Having my own domain is a dream come true! Thank you for stopping by...and thanks to you who made "subreality" a household word. At least, in certain strange households...
Everything I've created is linked to the page you just came here from. Confused? Hold your mouse cursor over each one to bring up an explanation. Here's some hints on the more popular subsites here -- click if you're looking for
