Redearth88 is a Vlog Series created by Glenn Rubenstein. It continues the story of the OpAphid ARG from Lonelygirl15, Glenn Rubenstein having left that series due to "Creative Differences". It is also apparently an Orphaned Series, having not updated since January 2008, although Rubenstein denies this, and the series retains a small-but-devoted (if impatient) fanbase.
Within the story, Redearth88 is the YouTube account of a girl named Rachel, who is making a vlog series for an assignment. If one watches only Rachel's videos, the series appears to be a fairly standard Slice of Life Character Blog. However, there are other figures active in the shadows who have some mysterious agenda concerning Rachel.
Redearth88 is sometimes considered to be a Lonelygirl15 Fanfic, although it features no Lonelygirl15 characters other than those originating in the OpAphid ARG, and the plot appears unrelated.
Redearth88 could at one time be watched at redearth88.com, but as of early 2016 the site displayed a "temporarily unavailable" message and as of September 2020 displayed an "offline" message. The Wayback Machine has the home page but does not appear to have the videos.
