EDIT: FSC is live! Remember to submit your day's entries to the FSC folder!
I am incredibly excited to announce our first February Sonnet Challenge (FSC)! Running from the first of February to Valentine's Day (February 1-14), be prepared for the most lyrical fortnight of 2013 as you explore 14 different sonnet forms!
The sonnet forms for each day are contained in the 2013 FSC Guide, which you can take a look at here: fav.me/d5sigqp
Each day has a different sonnet form for you to test your mettle against, with explanations and examples provided. Prompts are not given this year, although I do suggest you use your Valentine's Day sonnet to write to that special someone.
If for any reason you cannot open or view the PDF, you may download a Word document version from my dropbox instead: www.dropbox.com/s/k34ui55x8a04…
I will open up an FSC 2013 folder for you to submit your entries to, for your reading pleasure. After the challenge is done, I will copy submissions to their respective form folders. FSC will run from February 1, 12 AM PST (GMT - 8) to February 15, 12 AM PST.
If you are interested in participating, please reply to this journal, or send me a note so that I can add you to the participant list!
I look forward to seeing your entries!

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.
This year, we will have three levels of varying length and difficulty. 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!
If you feel sufficiently recuperated from ProjectDFC (https://www.deviantart.com/projectdfc), we have another poetry challenge coming your way. February Sonnet Challenge (FSC 2016), your favorite two-week long challenge, is coming back from February 1-14 (just in time for Valentine's!) with perhaps the most difficult challenge we've assigned yet.
In the past, we've explored many different types of sonnets, from the classic Petrarchan and Shakespearean forms, to more esoteric ones like the Blues, Curtal, and many other types. These challenges were laid out with style guides very simila
Project DFC is here, Sonneteers!
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

Hey guys...
I'm sorry to say so, but I can't participate after all
I still love the idea and would love to, but at the moment, school just gets the better of me.
Will you be doing similar events again?
