That's why I've put <fake> in quotes ;) ... to emphasize that I believe (or hope) that these projects are perfectly real-world and relatively diverse in order to be able to start doing more similar real-world + real-money projects.

My question in regard was basically whether these "fake" personal projects can convince a prospective client that I'm for real. That is, if these personal projects are not on separate domains (like it will be if they were for real clients), wouldn't they look superficial, and yes, fake?

You could, relatively easily, buy 'real' domains and host them there. It's not 'that' expensive. $9/year for a domain.
