I know! I'm always so surprised to see so many new forms every year, you kick so much ass.
So, I found a couple that I tried to cross-reference with all the previous DFC lists, and here's what I've come up with (sorry if I missed some that you've already had, some of the Middle Eastern forms are spelled/sound very similar):
Englyn Milwr and Cyhydedd Hir - www.writing-world.com/poetry/w…
The Blitz
The Bop
Bref Double
Ghazal
Golden Shovel
Gwawdodyn
Hay(na)ku
Lune
Paradelle
Qasida
Shadorma
Triversen

Onegin stanza/Pushkin sonnet - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onegin_s…
Masnavi - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masnavi_…
Cento - www.poets.org/poetsorg/text/ce…

Gah, I had a feeling there were a couple I'd missed, but I didn't think it was that many. x.x Sorry! I'm super-excited though!

I am a member, but when I go to submit the only folders that'll allow to submit anything is SASS and DFC 2015

Sorry, turns out I wasn't a member, which is weird cause I never watch groups with joining them.

I don't know if I ever knew for this group: What is the maximum amount of submissions for one day? (Cause I have a bit of catching up to do. I already submitted two, but I still have two to go. Would that be too much?)

MagicalJoey In reply to NelehGrimm [2015-12-15 00:20:51 +0000 UTC]
According to what I see it's set to a lot of deviations a day so you should be ok with four.

Which one is for today? Haven't seen the journal yet, so I was curious.

Look on the chart. You pick one from the region of the day. Beth has been doing it in order so shouldn't be too hard to figure out.

I was just wondering if you could provide some advice to submitting DFC pieces... I don't generally submit much literature to dA, and was wondering if there was a suggested method for compiling pieces together into larger submissions, or if I should just post maybe a weekly deviation with 7 poems? I'm not sure...
(thanks... I feel like such an amateur )

betwixtthepages In reply to autumnicity [2015-12-11 03:17:52 +0000 UTC]
We usually do a posted piece a day, to keep them all separate and individual--are you not comfortable with doing that?

autumnicity In reply to betwixtthepages [2015-12-11 03:20:23 +0000 UTC]
Ah, makes sense! I guess it's probably more that I feel kind of novice so feel kind of awkward posting them all. It sounds silly, I know... :T

Oh, no worries! We're all practically novices with these forms--that's the point of the project!

MagicalJoey In reply to autumnicity [2015-12-09 22:35:04 +0000 UTC]
It's ok
I, personally, recommend submitting your daily poem daily. This enables you to participate in the daily features for that particular day on the day instead of being added in after the fact.

autumnicity In reply to MagicalJoey [2015-12-11 03:20:53 +0000 UTC]
Ah, thanks so much for the recommendation. I'll definitely try to start posting more of them instead of (literally) stashing them.

Sometimes STASH is lovely - but personally I never use it for anything other than getting gifs to work.

autumnicity In reply to MagicalJoey [2015-12-11 22:44:13 +0000 UTC]
I find I use it mostly just when I'm doing collaborations or to post sketchdumps to journals... But I should definitely get in the habit of clicking the "submit" button more for writing since I really do want to share my stuff (as scary as it is!).

kiwi-damnation In reply to autumnicity [2015-12-09 01:59:02 +0000 UTC]
No problem. I would suggest submitting them individually and then noting us with them. If that's not to your liking, maybe do one piece that you edit regularly? Thing is, we provide features of each deviation with LitRecognition so doing them in larger submissions doesn't serve you very well. Hope I helped.

Thank you SO much for your help! I've just submitted my first piece from the ones I've completed so far~ (:

Hi Kiwi! I've only been on DA sporadically the last few months. But I never forgot about DFC. I can't wait for this year's version.
Hope you are doing well.
