Huzzah, a chat post!

Who wants to start a femslash id enclave this year? It looks like there are several of us!

[badass_tiger]

I've been biting my nails about joining this since I saw the sign up post go up. On the one hand, I have this amazing idea I'd love to try about touch-starved Vetinari who's spent so long not getting close to anyone that he has difficulty letting Drumknott even touch his hand in a gesture more than a handshake despite the fact that he loves him buckets --

-- but the assignment is due the day *after* I fly back to the UK, and I just don't know if I'll have time to write during the rest of summer >< I already have two fandom assignments due in August D: I so want to join though, I wouldn't have an excuse to write this idea otherwise!

[thatyourefuse]

... so it turns out I have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA what actually constitutes id-fic?

Whoops.

I am so excited to get started on this, but at the same time all /o\ because I have an exhibition at work that is going to be running on the same timeline, ie writing and implementation going on through August and opening in late September. But it's okay! Everything's gonna be okay! Because it has to be!

[d_generate_girl]

So, I'm writing what looks to be apocalyptic captivity-porn for two characters that are in vicious, hate-filled love with each other, and at least a quarter of it deals with the extreme non-con humiliation of someone who A) DESERVES IT and B) is probably the worst person to ever humiliate. OH BOY.

[Incidentally, does anyone have any ideas/recs about kidnapping/captivity/forced-bonding narratives? Plz talk at me about them!]

[yrindor]

This is my first time participating in this or anything like it, but I'm excited! I'm planning to indulge the iddy non-sexual kink plot bunnies and finally finish a WIP that's been languishing for the better part of a year now.

[doranwen.livejournal.com]

I suspect I'll be in the minority with a nonsexual fic here--with a TON of hugging, holding, consoling, etc. I'm turning up the dial on the angst/grief and using it to draw people together in the very best emotional hurt/comfort I can manage. :D Wallowing in the angst is so much fun!

So, um, I probably should have asked this sooner, but if I have only one sign up with two ideas but end up writing both stories (I have a lot of id thoughts, I guess), do I post both?

[the_rck]

I've been writing iddy stuff all day today, but it's an obscure fandom *and* both AU (canon divergence) and arguably OOC. But, you know, 5000 words in a day is a big deal when I usually struggle to get 500 a day.

I'm just worried that the OOC part means I'm writing Any Two Guys fic...

Iddy Talk Time #1! - Fic Idea, Where Did It Come From

[iddybangmod]

(Hello! This is a purely optional discussion thread.)

Tell us of the idifc of your heart. How'd you come up with your fic idea?

Iddy Talk Time #2! - Favorite Canon Things That We Love

[iddybangmod]

(Week two! We must go deeper...)

What's your favorite thing about the canon you're writing for? For origfic writers: what's your favorite thing about the world you're creating?

Iddy Talk Time #3! - Tentacles, where do they go

[iddybangmod]

(Week three! Now to go deeper...)

Would a detachable sex tentacle fit anywhere in your story?

Feel free to go into as much or as little lurid detail as you'd like.

Iddy Talk Time #4! Which character hates you right now

[iddybangmod]

(Week 4! Down and dirty...)

Which character hates you the most right now? (Optionally: why?)

Iddy Talk Time #5: Let's Play A Game

[iddybangmod]

(Week 5! Still in the running...)

First poster leaves a word, everyone else ctrl-F for it in your fic document and post a line it appears in.

[the_rck]

I'm looking for a beta reader for thirty five thousand words of Chronicles of Amber fic. It's a divergent AU darkfic that includes graphic m/m non-con. Merlin point of view. Darkish Merlin.

Anybody willing or know someone who might be willing?

Iddy Talk Time #6: Tropes & Kinks We Missed

[iddybangmod]

(Week six! Almost there...)

Were there any tropes/kinks you couldn't fit in, but wanted to?

[almach]

Today I achieved victory in the epic quest to name the horse in my story! His name is Pläsi. He is usually very easy-going and difficult to frighten, but magic makes him all nervous and twitchy. This is useful at times but creates problems at others.

And I hit 1k words, yay! I totally think I can finish in time.
