Wanderers, Far from Home
France, 1367. An army under Philippe de Saumier marches to relieve Strasbourg - but never reaches the city. En route, they pass through a mysterious stone arch that transports them to a vast, freezing forest. Desperate, cold, hungry, they march on, their hope dwindling, seeking a way home...

Tales from a Past Life - HERE

(Newest chapters start on post #16)

Meridias Aemilius, a Roman centurion in the early 1st century BC receives a cryptic message from a specter of his past. When it is revealed to him that the specter, the semblance of a past love he thought deceased, is in fact alive and well, flips his world upside down. Meridias must learn to coexist with a piece of his past restored to him, that he thought was lost forever, and a present that he couldn't abandon if he tried.

I've been told this is still open. If that is the case, I'd quite like to enter The Great Expedition.

The Great Expedition is set in a distant future, whereby the nations of earth have set forth to create vast kingdoms, dictatorships and republics among the stars. Occupying the cracks between these behemoths, there are newer nations known as successor states. These entities have no Earth pedigree, instead being comprised of settlers from a multitudes of sources that have banded together for independence and other common causes. The cradle of the human race, Earth, is tenuously managed by the United Nations, an organisation dedicated to limiting the scale and scope of wars between states.

The Great Expedition focuses on the frontier planet of Nova Sydney, currently claimed by the vast Kingdom of Pax Anglia. Despite already having a settled population of human colonists (who knew the planet by 'Seclusion'), the Anglicans have utilised gunboat diplomacy to establish their own colony and subdue the protests of the natives. Henry Boyce is the son of the hideously wealthy Lord Chelsea, who has been drawn to Nova Sydney's capital of Port Jackson in order to conduct research on behalf of the Royal Scientific Institute. While not exactly enamoured with the post, it has allowed him to avoid being conscripted into the Queen's navy...

It is indeed still open.

With your 5th submission, I will check all submissions for qualified entry status and get the thread up, so next month we can start the next competition!

I see you finally have enough submissions. If you hadn't I would've submitted my story from the CW section.

So many "Tales" titles. God we're unoriginal.
