Hey fellow sonneteers!
It's not every day the broader lit community holds contests featuring traditional or fixed form poetry, but here's your chance to show off your sonnet-writing skills and just how awesome 14 lines of iambic pentameter can really be.
CRLiterature is holding a contest in celebration of dA's 14th birthday. Check it out here:
Enter a surreal sonnet (or short story, but, come on, sonnets) for a prize of a few thousand points!
Good luck!

FSC 2016: Official Thread
This year, the challenge will require you to write a crown of sonnets.
A crown of sonnets is a set of sonnets written about a common theme. Each individual sonnet ends with the first line of the next sonnet, and the last sonnet ends with the first line of the first sonnet, creating a loop.

I realize that February is a rather popular time for challenges and contests (like ProjectDFC (https://www.deviantart.com/projectdfc)’s very own February Form Fiesta), so we’ll have a short one that can be completed in 9 days. The others can be completed in 14 days or 15 days. We'll also have some small priz
February Sonnet Challenge 2016 coming soon!
Hi everyone! Hope everyone is excited for another year of great poetry, especially sonnets!

Hey all,
LaBruyere (https://www.deviantart.com/labruyere) here.
Sorry for the absence. Been finishing my M.A. and also participating in NaNoWriMo 2015! Finished an hour ago.
The exciting news is that it's time to jump into another December Form Challenge!
Our affiliates over at ProjectDFC (https://www.deviantart.com/projectdfc) have been hard at work to craft a new challenge for 2015, and we want you to join in as well. I personally have participated several times, and I promise you it is great for flexing those fixed form muscles.
Here's the info you need: http://fav.me/d9g8gxm

Ok but not all sonnets have iambic as a meter? So is any meter acceptable? I do all kinds I can find to do.
