Speculative Chic appears to be a community-driven blog or fanzine focused on speculative culture—including fantasy, science fiction, gaming, cosplay, and more. From contributor profiles, one example is S. J. Lyon, who:
- Holds a BA in Creative Writing and Literature and an MFA in Writing Popular Fiction.
- Enjoys video games (especially Dragon Age and Tales of…), cosplay, crochet, and keeps chickens and a Corgi named Pippin.
Another contributor, J. L. Gribble, is a professional medical editor by day and spends her nights doing freelance fiction editing, reading, and playing video games.
What Speculative Chic Represents
Although there’s no official mission statement readily available on the site, this kind of content suggests Speculative Chic is a platform where passionate creators—primarily women—share their love for geek culture, fandom, speculative fiction, and related topics in a personal, critical, and community-centered way. Their content ranges from reviews and roundups to opinion pieces, fan writing, and editorial commentary.
