Wilde Oats Blog

Wilde Oats is an online literary magazine. It celebrates gay and bisexual fiction. It embraces the joys and agonies of life for gay and bisexual men, from hard gritty realism to wild flights of romantic fantasy.

Wilde Oats has gone through some big changes in recent months: we have moved to a new server and changed our appearance. The journal is published three times a year - in April, August and December. Between issues, you can find out what's happening, read snippets of new stories, see new artwork, and keep up to date by visiting us here.

Back Home by R J Scott

One of our editors, Stan Ridge, reviews this novel in the upcoming issue of Wilde Oats (up tomorrow -- we're just waiting on a couple of author and artist bios.)

Meanwhile, I think the guy in the cover of the book is startlingly beaut.
