Forbidden Fruit

Forbidden Fruit, our predecessor magazine, ran for nearly 5 years, and showcased some of the best gay, bi and slash fiction under the discerning editorship of founder Fiona Glass.  Unfortunately not all stories published in the magazine were archived, but we are busy recovering and archiving all those we can find, and can obtain permission for. This is a major task and will take some time.
