Then there's Subreality.
Subreality is a concept first brought forth by Kielle, archivist for CFAN (Comic-book Fanfiction Authors Network), and has spread widely to surrounding fandoms. The general concept is that, between this world and the worlds we create, there's a hazy borderland. In this place, there can be Writers (that's us ;-) ), characters (or fictives), avatars, muses, and any number of other people.
Still scratching your head? Okay, here's the place to go for information on Subreality proper: Subreality Central
All of your questions can be answered there.
Wanna know what Subreality *might* look like? Special thanks to Kerosene for taking the time to draw up this map and letting us borrow it.
Now, mind you, this is only one possible interpretation, since it's all created from imagination anyway. So don't feel limited! But take a look... it is cool.
Already know what Subreality is? Okay, there's this club, not too terribly far from the Subreality Cafe itself called the TTPCTS Club, concepted and created by Bodger. This is the place fictives can go if their Writers take a plot concept too seriously, ie, Drama in MST3K, or death in Friends. And the fictives have a place to vent.
It's open to all who feel like joining in with the insanity, and as with all of Subreality, everything is created from the fabric of imagination. Anything goes. All we ask is that you attach disclaimers where they belong, or don't use another person's avatar or fictive without asking permission. Aside from that, people, have a blast! And please, please send us a copy for this place... MST3K or no.
TTPCTS Fics:
TTPCTS Club
- by: Bodger
Summary: The grand opening of the club! A must read! Bodger's avatars have been
recruited (much to their dissatisfaction) to help with the opening of the new
place in the great realm of Subreality.
Just Hanging Out
- by: SLWatson
Summary: Introducing ShadowKnight Mike and the unofficial mascot of the Club,
Orie the parrot.
Birds of a Feather
- by: KRWalker
Summary: Where Mike goes, Joel must eventually follow... well, usually it's
the other way around, but this time, in a reversal of roles.
Coke in Glass Bottles
- by: SLWatson
Summary: I actually personally take a jaunt into Subreality after a rough night
of soul searching. More serious than humorous, if you're not in the mood to
read laments, then you better pass this one up.
Cruising -
by: Yasmin M.
Summary: It doesn't actually take place in the club, but Yasmin borrows Joel
for a ride with a muse through Subreality. This one's straight out of the Subreality
Cafe Mailing List, and Subreality proper, and the ending might not make sense
to MSTies, but it sure touches a person anyway.
Counting Crows
- by: Bodger
Summary: An incredibly clever fic written by the Club's creator. What happens
when a troop of Crows decide to play some pranks? Complete and utter chaos,
that's what. Our gold 'bots wreak havoc on the Club and it's patrons in a big
(and completely hilarious) way.
