I am over 2k on both fics, but have only completed one section of each of the five things. I have a lot more id to channel.

Hopefully this only goes through once. I deleted the comment because I thought I put it in the wrong place, then tried to comment again, which didn't seem to go through.

[iddybangmod]

Woo, go you, channel that id! This mod knows you can do it – thanks for checking in! *\o/*

[merryghoul]

Done with both!

I can finally explain my stories in more detail. Both are Doctor Who.

Story #1 is a sequel to a story I wrote as a pinch hit for Remix Me. It's a River Song/Missy/Twelfth Doctor threesome.

Story #2 is about Clara and Me helping out a independent porn director with a porn film. So it's like a porn star AU, but not really because the story's still set in the Doctor Who universe.

[iddybangmod]

AMAZING! Our id-ponies are neighing in all kinds of anticipatory excitement! Thanks for checking in!

[the_rck]

I've got 17000 words so far in two pieces that don't actually connect properly or exactly match in tone (they also take place a few years apart). I have no idea where I'm going at this point, just kind of wandering in search of something or another that fits. I have no idea at all how much longer this will end up being.

[iddybangmod]

Nicely done! :D Wherever you're going on your id-journey, we hope it ends up somewhere delightful! Thanks for checking in!

[thatyourefuse]

I think I probably know what I'm writing!

ETA: And I was right. 522 words of Stockholmy lesbianism for one of the most aggravating movies I personally have ever seen.

[iddybangmod]

We think we're probably super-excited! *\o/* (And/or delightfully stockholmed.) Thanks for checking in!

[argylepiratewd]

I'm at a little over 48k now (on a fic I've been working on for a while). Hoping it'll be finished by 60k, but considering how many unfinished scenes I've got? I don't know if it will be. Which is kind of scary, tbh. D:

Description: Forever het mpreg. Henry gets knocked up by Jo.

When I'm not screaming, "WILL I EVER FINISH THIS THING?" it's a lot of fun.

[iddybangmod]

THIS IS GOING TO BE A GOOD FIC. And a finished one. This mod feels it in their bones, and has every faith in you. Thanks for checking in!

[unbekannt2020]

Over 6100 words on my sole fic for this exchange (original slavefic with maledom/femsub; the slaves are institutionally trained associate pain with pleasure). I cranked out 2500 of those words just yesterday. Working on attaching a proper, ahem, climactic scene and ending, and then it'll be revisions from here until the posting date.

[iddybangmod]

*high-fives you* This mod is super-excited for this! Polish that fic till it shines, and may all your climaxes be properly attached! *\o/* Thanks for checking in!

[fickle_obsessed]

I'm currently in the 'hmmm what should I write' stage of the writing process so yeah, it's not going as well as I'd like, but I'm sure something'll hit me soon.

[iddybangmod]

For shame, fickle_obsessed's id. For shame, hiding like that. But don't fret, there's still lots of time! You've got this. \o/ Thanks for checking in!

[theoriesontales]

Despair. I simply don't have the time to write anything this week and I'm still stuck at 3k. I kinda know what I want from the story so i should be able to do this once I have more time to write... I hope.

[iddybangmod]

Never fear! :D We are right here with pom-poms, ever-ready to gently cheerlead you into the land of id. (Thanks for checking in!)

[samuraiter]

Yeah, I'm another one who's still deciding what to write. Like I said when I signed up: There's apparently quite a lot of room in my id, so picking one thing is kind of difficult.

[iddybangmod]

No worries, and know that whatever you decide to write, we will read the everloving heck out of it. :D Thanks for checking in!

[lannamichaels]

I'm about 7K words in, but questioning everything. Might change the primary pairing or, like, the entire thing.

[iddybangmod]

That's OK! You are the master of your fate, the captain of your id, and can totally do this! *\o/* Thanks for checking in!

[thecarrieshow]

I can't believe it's already check-in time!

I'm about 1k into my story and hoping to blast out some decent words this weekend.

[iddybangmod]

Neither can we! *jazzhands* Keep on keeping on, and we wish you a productive weekend! Thanks for checking in!

[apgeeksout]

I'm at about 2500 words, though since I'm starting with a WIP, I suppose it's kind of cheating to count them. /0\ I've been wrapping up some exchange fic first, so I haven't put down many new words since signing up. I have lots of hair-petting and forehead kisses and trying desperately not to cry with relief written-in-my-head, though. Does that count?

[iddybangmod]

OH BOY, DOES IT. Our ids are all a-quiver with excitement! *\o/* Good luck with the exchange fic and the putting down of new words! Thanks for checking in!

[ghostwings]

I'm at around 2.3k words. (I have ~400 words of a beginning for my other story idea that I may or may not go back and add more to, depending on how things go.)

I am currently still stuck in the angstangstangst portion of the plot, and would really like to get to the happier part.

I think I'm a few pages away from finishing chapter 1 of 3 or so. Unless I decide to scrap the whole thing and try something else. :P

[iddybangmod]

You're doing great! AND WRITE HAPPINESS THEN, ANGST CAN WAIT. May the id be with you for the writing of those few pages, and thank you for checking in!

[d_generate_girl]

2K of mostly-being-written-on-the-subway and edited on the weekends captivity narrative. Generally know where plot is going, unsure of what it needs to do to get there.

[iddybangmod]

The subway is a perfect place to write captivity narrative, this mod thinks. And wherever plot and id go, fic will surely follow. Write like the wind, and thank you for checking in!

[(Anonymous)]

1.5K written, but I scrapped my original outline and what I have is shapeless.

(nonnymouse)

[iddybangmod]

The benefit of shapeless is that you can mould it any which way you want it to go. You got this, nonny, and may the id light your way to those remaining words! Thanks for checking in!

[apiroscsizmak]

I am at about 2.5k on both my fics.

[iddybangmod]

An eminently respected wordcount! This mod salutes your good work. Thank you for checking in!

[solongasyoudo]

I have a solid idea and it is... 10% done? The bare bones is there, so it should be done by the end of August if I kick my butt into gear.

[iddybangmod]

10% is enough and a good beginning! You've got an idea, you've got a start-- you got this, now go go go go go, and thanks for checking in!

[bonnefois]

I am almost to 6k at this point. I'm not trying to quantify how long it will go, because I've never been good at this, and have apparently gotten worse over the years. Case in point: kidfic that was supposed to be 20k at most is now over 131k and counting. It's going pretty well, though.

I'm still not sure if I'm doing a second. It'd be nice, but I might not have time.

[iddybangmod]

The id wants what it wants, and wordcount appears to be the least of your concerns. :P We are pleased that said id has already led you to produce many, many words of delicious idfic, and may it keep producing more!

Thanks for checking in!

[doranwen.livejournal.com]

I'm at the same point I was when I signed up--13.3k of drawerfic. Beta finally had time to read most of what I have so far and gave me the thumbs up but I am still stalled because I'd gotten stuck on where I was. Plus life just got majorly insane. I am not going to have time to write for the next month or two; I think I'm going to have to drop out. :( I still plan on finishing this--sometime! It's just not going to happen as soon as a month from now.

[iddybangmod]

Got it - thank you for letting us know, and we're sorry to see you go! If/when you finish that fic, feel free to post it to the iddybang AO3 collection.

[cryonical]

I've done outlines for several fics but haven't decided which one to go with yet.

[iddybangmod]

Flip a (or several) coins, and while they are in the air, perhaps your id will realize which outline it has always loved and longed for. We wish you an idtastic time of writing, and thanks for checking in!

[gloss]

I have about 4500 words so far and A LOT of plot to get through.

It's Star Wars, Finn and Poe, with a lot of dress-up and political intrigue.

And I kind of love it overwhelmingly. <3

[samuraiter]

And I kind of love it overwhelmingly. <3

As well you should. :-) Good luck!

[slippy]

I haven't got anywhere near as far as I'd like - somehow it can be so satisfying to endlessly tweak outlines - but I'm keeping at it. The banging continues! (Not literally. This is some sex-free id. But still.)

[iddybangmod]

Banging out words on your keyboard is equally satisfying banging! May the id guide your pen to the land of plenty where words flow free. Thanks for checking in!

[pameluke]

The new job is kind of taking it out on me, so I'm less far than I'd like.
I've got a lot of ideas and ways it can go, and I've got a beginning, so I'm still optimistic I'll make it on the one fic. A little disappointed I won't manage two though, but ah well.

[iddybangmod]

That does sound like a rough time, we hope that things get less hectic for you soon. Never fear-- you've got ideas, you've got that beginning, the fic will come! As for that second idea, it will easily keep for next year, and iddybang will still be here.

Thank you for checking in!

[jiokra]

I've found some premises and story ideas that I'm liking, one is for The 100 Jasper/Monty and the other is Shadowhunters Alec/Magnus. So far I've written... 0 words. D:

[pameluke]

Eeeeeh! You're doing this too? AWESOME.
I'm definitely doing Shadowhunters, SO YAY.

[greatandgrey]

I have an outline! :) It's for Stand Still Stay Silent, and while I'm not writing it right now (going by my schedule), it is upcoming. Right now I am working on another SSSS fic that does relate to this one which introduces a villain and a plot element that will feature in the iddy bang, so there's that. :)

[iddybangmod]

On schedule is good, an outline is great, and stealth working on IIBB fic when also working on something else is the best kind of working. May the words blossom on the page like flowers in spring! Thank you for checking in.
