I'm curious as to how Oasismag got started and the history behind it? I only heard about this site a few weeks ago, and really almost by accident.

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

... so i can call him Hitler Bin Laden Seacrest

Either that or one of those hairless breeds , so i can call her Full Brazilian =P

I just got a whole set of black suede furniture, so there's no way i can get a non black cat.

BTW: I enabled anonymous comments on oasis, and we have a spiffy new spam catcher.

We're back in the land of living!

The site was down for the last several days due to a complication in the move to the new server we now reside on.

Basically, the server we were on was meant to be decommissioned at the end of January, but due to a technical issue, it was accidentally decommissioned 2 weeks early.

...how busy the site is now the Gay Like Me project is underway?

I think its great! like once the new format of the site came in everything seemed to slow down in a sense, but now the site is a beehive of activity!

As we're finally about to get the launch up and running properly (should be switching to a new server very soon, breaking out oasisjournals.com, etc.), one piece of the puzzle is also going to be book reviews.

Yikes, can't take a mini-holiday from the site anymore... entire projects spring up in my absence (as well they should).

Pat Nelson Childs has taken a post by our very own haNa and turned it into a full-on book proposal where anyone can contribute artwork, writing, editing, etc., to create a book about what it is like to be a gay teen today.

Happy New Years, everyone! Hope y'all had fun last night and the night before with your...whoever you're hanging out with. Lol. XDD

Not much to say...I've resumed my story writings. :3

What do you think? Let us know.

There is still a LOT more coming in the next few days, as well. But today's a huge start.

To celebrate our 11th Anniversary online, we are expanding in a big way.

In the next few days, there will now be two major changes:

Oasis Magazine (www.oasismag.com) which will change to feature interviews with openly queer novelists, musicians, actors, comics and role models, as well as reviews of DVDs, movies, books, and music of interest to our audience.
