Giants History: An SBNation Writing Project.
Good morning Giants fans. I am a regular commenter and contributing writer at the 49ers' SBNation site NinersNation. I am coming here to make a request, but I hope that you don't simply dismiss me presence here as user spam (and I hope you'll excuse me for cross posting this text from a fanpost I just finished at Stampede Blue, it's a lot to retype). I am not trying to bring attention to myself, to the 49ers, to our blog over there, or to anything else on the web outside of your own website and the dedicated and intelligent fans who frequent here. My request as it concerns you is completely Giants-Centric and, I sincerely hope, not unreasonable.
A short while ago I began writing a weekly segment on NinersNation about the team's history from year to year beginning with its inception in 1946. I am hoping that somebody on this board would be willing and able (and eager) to provide similar pieces of writing for me on the Giants' history from the years 1961-1964.
To explain further: On account of the focused historical nature of the segments that I am writing on NinersNation, I've been contacted (and have agreed) to act as a fully-credited resource on a novel being written about Y. A. Tittle and his years in the league, specifically regarding the context of the league at the time and the team's that he played for. Y. A. Tittle spent his final four professional seasons with the New York Giants, and I am neither qualified (as a 49er fan), nor would I have the time (as I am busy working on ten full years of Tittle's career as a 49er), to produce quality articles on the historical seasons of the Giants.
This being the case, I'm hoping to keep this endeavor within the SB family. If anybody has the interest, the time, and the motivation to write about the historical Giants, PLEASE drop me an e-mail at howtheyscored@yahoo.com, and I'll be more than eager to give you every detail that I have about this project, as well as put you in personal contact with the author of the novel this has become a part of. These pieces you would write would in absolutely no way be private, and I think that it would be really cool if, when written, you would also post them as fanposts (or stories) on this blog for your readership to enjoy. The information in these pieces would be used strictly as reference material for the novel being written, and I'm more than happy to answer any questions and respond to any concerns that you have about any of this (and you would be right to have some) by e-mail. I will not (and could not) take credit for anything that you produce, and you would also be given full credit for your contribution.
Again, please e-mail me if you are interested. I would really like a hardcore Giants fan to be involved, and I have a particular affinity for the SBNation audience.
