==Chick lit online== The development and decline of chick lit as a publishing phenomenon coincided with an explosion in internet usage in the developed world.<ref name=internet /> The academic Sandra Folie argues that "Fans and their websites or blogs, online presences of newspapers, magazines, or publishing houses, and also the free encyclopedia Wikipedia" played a key part in defining and shaping the concept of a chick lit genre.<ref name=Folie /> Folie discusses the British site ''chicklit.co.uk'' which was online from 2002 to 2014 and included information not just on books and authors but also lifestyle issues for young women. The American ''Chicklitbooks.com'' was online from 2003 to 2013 discussing, "Hip, bright literature for today's modern woman."<ref name=Folie /> As chick lit declined as a publishing category fans online created their own response: in 2012 a website called ''chicklitisnotdead.com'' was reported to have 25,000 users.<ref name=diego /> In 2022 an active chick lit community group on the goodreads.com site had 4,756 members.<ref name=goodreads />
