CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: MILITARY HISTORY NOVELLA ANTHOLOGY A Joint Venture of CHEYENNE PUBLISHING AND BRISTLECONE PINE PRESSCHEYENNE PUBLISING and BRISTLECONE PINE PRESS are teaming up for a special publishing project. This joint venture will be an anthology consisting of three novellas. This submission call is to select two novellas (20,000 to 35,000 words) to be included with an already selected novella about the battle of the Little Bighorn. The theme will be gay/lesbian military personnel in a historical setting. Stories can be set in any era circa 1600 forward, up to and including the Viet Nam War. Military personnel can be interpreted to include soldiers, officers, and support staff such as nurses; key is that the action of the story takes place in a military setting during war, truce, or peacetime support. Any military conflict within the past 500 years (circa 1600 on) or country is acceptable. While sexual relationships can be discussed and intimate acts implied, we prefer the material to be non-explicitly sexual in order to accommodate a young-adult crossover readership. Please note that the main characters must be gay or lesbian and issues regarding their sexuality must a primary element of the plot. Cheyenne Publishing and Bristlecone Pine Press allow the writer complete freedom in regards to genre – meaning your story does not have to fit into any particular mold such as “happy ever after” – in other words, soldiers can die. Perhaps Huckleberry Joe can submit a story . . . . Article: www.untreedreads.com/?p=234 |

I wonder what and whom that LBH story is about, and whether the relationship is NDN or Army.
And what makes you think that Huckleberry Joe has any degree of "expertise" in the field of gay and/or lesbian relationships, or brief encounters? Have you been talking to his barrack mates?
I agree that Trish would have been all over that CFS. She probably had such a story already done, and stashed somewhere handy, for just such an eventuality. Lord, how I do miss that girl!!!!!

Last I heard, Joe was on a retreat and finalizing the script for 'Brokeback Crow's Nest' - The secret that no one dared tell to Libbie.
What a bizarre idea for a trilogy or whatever. What's next? Custer and the UFOs?

Why is it so unexpectedly strange? Go read on the other board the thread on favorite painting of the battle. In fact, most Custer art is pretty strange. Read the guy who poses as keogh.
It's all of a piece, in many regards.

Your killing me BS! The spinoff's on the LBH are legion, and to throw sexual orintation into this pit is rather a new twist. Although, "Little Big Man", portrayed something like that with one of the NA characters. Maybe there was a reason they were hangin around the "Big Horn" mountains. Maybe there were more "Contraries" (I think that was their sobriquet back then) than we were aware of. Hey, they all went over the "Divide". Maybe this wasn't a battle, but a "Bitch Slapping" episode that got out of hand.
