Something I recently learned, but spec fic can encompass the following genres:

Science Fiction
Fantasy
Horror
Alternate History
and more I'm sure

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speculative_fiction

As a spec fic writer myself, my current manuscript takes elements of fantasy, alternate history, and horror.

The spec fic related threads here (see especially Share Your Work) have by far the largest number of posts of all directly writing-related forums. The real question is Are things other than spec fic welcome here?

All tongue-in-cheek aside, for the OP there are of course thriving communities all across AW, and not just in Spec Fic. But we're happy to have you here. :)
