Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

I'm doing a Journalism course and for one of my assessments i need to do a feature article. I wanted to do an article on Speculative Evolution, I used to be on this board a couple years ago as DorianGray. I need get three interviews for my piece, and i was wondering if anyone from the boards would be able to take part and answer some questions on what got them into Speculative Evolution, the community and different books and TV shows.

Any takers?

Welcome back Dorian! I remember your Chiropteran Skies project quite fondly. Any particular reason for making a new account? We really prefer people to stick to one account these days, unless you're unable to access your old account for whatever reason, in which case it's fine.

As for your interviews, I wouldn't be the best person for it (I don't spec enough), but I'm sure you'll find plenty of volunteers! Three people I would recommend asking are Troll Man, Sheather and delicious-turkey. Each one of these three runs one of the most popular projects on the forum (Diyu, Sheatheria and Illion respectively.) Not sure any of them will say yes, but certainly worth a shot.

You can also use me as a backup. I don't run any giant projects, but I've done a fair amount of spec (mostly not on this forum, though).

I'd be happy to help in any way I can, although I would argue there are other people on this forum perhaps more interview-worthy than myself. Still, I love what your doing here!

I don't even really like this song that much but the title is pretty relatable sometimes, I guess.

I'd forgotten my password for my old account and the email I used for it, is there any way I could still get into it?

I'll definitely shoot those guys a message, i'll take anybody for interviews though, regardless of how much you spec, I just want people to get a good sense of the community for the article so i'll take all comers.
