Iddybangers! Already stoked and want to get writing? We present to you a brainstorming post of goodness!
Feel free to bounce ideas around in the comments – tropes, plots, pairings, anything goes! The only limit is your imagination (and definitely not the bounds of good taste). \o/
For the uninitiated, we've included a primer and some common tropes under the cut:
What is idfic?
Fic that tickles your id! Maybe it's the fic you make up just before you fall asleep. Generally speaking, idfic is that sweet spot where the answer to the question "Is this too filthy/sappy/wrong/just plain weird?" is a resounding "No!”
According to Fanlore, nonnies have described idfic as follows:
It's pleasureable, and comfortable fic, doesn't have to be all bad. But [...] any bad points are overlooked or just passed off as 'meh, who cares'. It has the narrative kinks/tropes that someone loves and wants to read. [original post on FFA]
If I were to label something I was writing an idfic, it would mean that I was writing purely to satisfy myself and what I want from the fic and the canon, and then justifying my choices to myself after the fact. [original post on FFA]
What I call idfic is fic where the point (for the reader or the writer) is a set of strong feelings, gratifying to the emotions the same way porn is gratifying to the loins. [original post on FFA]
We are not defining what qualifies as idfic. If you consider your story idfic, then it is. Your story doesn't have to be porny, though it may be.

Date: 2017-06-28 01:04 pm (UTC)I really want to do Lord John/Claire/Jamie, because of the last published book. I'm still thinking what to do, but I think I want to go the porn route, just to have some fun, because it's been awhile since I wrote anything.
