How many people have submitted their story for historical competition, ending on 11th May? Or are their others waiting for the 11th hour?

I've started, but needs some serious editing. First time I've tried historical fiction, takes some getting used to, but good to be out of comfort zone.

I wasn't going to but decided to send an excerpt of a novel I've partly written & side-lined. I don't expect to win but it was great to get me back to working on this piece & certainly sharpened up the particular bit I've picked out, so well worthwhile.

Just emailed mine off five minutes ago! Not confident but glad I came up with something! :-)

Good luck everyone.
