HI I AM HERE, WHO WANTS TO BE FRIENDS?

I've come to doubt my ability to finish anything very long, but perhaps if I let the id run wild I can get there this time.

I just barely remembered this comm existed in time to sign up! Yeah!!!!

I think I'm gonna try to churn most of this thing out between now and when Camp Nano ends, since the idea I bullshitted out of thin air for this is already more compelling to me than the thing I cooked up specifically for Camp Nano.

My fic sign up is going to be pure porn. I suck at writing porn. I tend to be very timid in my descriptions, and I haven't written kink yet. But by god I am going to try for this!

It's nice that the only person I will really disappoint if this all goes sideways is myself.

I'm so excited about writing idfic but right now I have several ideas and I haven't narrowed it down to one thing yet. I'm considering pulling a few plot points together and then just going for it. I'm going to be writing Teen Wolf fic, if anyone is interested in that still. The fandom has such a grip on me.

Just checked and I've got 20k words down for my origfic sign up. Not that I'm in a rush or anything :p

Meanwhile, I am still stuck at barely 2k words for the Vetinari/Drumknott angel AU. I already know everything that is going to happen, I'm just a bit hung up over the in-between bits, like the bit after they meet where they get to know each other. I'll probably just write the scenes I do know for now and hopefully the blanks will fill in themselves afterwards.

I haven't written anything in years (just lurked) but every once in a while I'll re-read one of my fics and remember that I used to enjoy writing a lot. There's something about the process of creating a small universe that didn't exist before and I did this! :-D So I'd like to get back into it. My life is getting a little more in control and maybe it's time to try again.

This idfic is a prequel to a story I wrote almost fifteen years ago. It was a darkfic AU to canon and I'd put enough flashbacks to the past and clues for the future that I realized I could write dozens of fics to flesh it out. I have added a few stories but not the origin fic and that's what this would be.

Good luck to all the other porny writers. Porn is going to be a good third of my fic so I sympathize.

Looking forward to idding with you all.

I'm planning on reworking a ridiculous drawerfic that I've been dumping prose into for years. It started out as Serious Fic (though still iddy), and gradually became a porn extravaganza of dubious fix-itness. The first thing I need to do is cut a whole lot of it, because I've been using it to write up any hot-to-me scenario that pops into my brain, and, no matter how much I am supposed to be indulging my id, some of these scenes just can't exist in the same continuity as the others. I will also have to impose some skeleton of plot.

I'm a champion at dropping out of big bangs, but ~~third~~ thirteenth or whatever I'm up to now may just be the charm.

Aaaaah, it has been such a long time since I've participated in any sort of bang! It's kind of nervewracking - and at the same time, comforting to know that if I fuck up the only person I'm going to disappoint is myself (as opposed to a recip in an exchange, I mean).

Thankfully, I've already gotten a decent headstart on this iddy fic because I was writing it for Camp NaNo. I hit a speedbump as I ended up having to research things (Star Wars' Order 66 is a clusterfuck of trying to figure out who is where doing what), but I'm hoping that signing up for IIBB will keep me plugging along.

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

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

From:

iddybangmod

(We must know!)

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?

From:

I'm excited, I've figured out how to approach this story, and it's going to be fun to write. I'm abandoning plot entirely. All my ideas for plot seemed tacked on, so my best friend suggested I go the Waiting for Godot route and just focus on characters and their relationships. So that's what I'm gonna do. It's exciting because I've never written like this before! :D :D :D

I'm a little over 1k in now.

(This question proved unsurprisingly popular last time.)

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.

From:

iddybangmod

Almost halfway there!

Which character hates you the most right now? Do they suffer from an acute case of whump? Angst? Tragic noncon? What terrible tribulations must they undergo, all for the sake of the id?

Tell us everything.

How's everyone doing this week? \o/ Time for a game:

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

From:

iddybangmod

Take a step back this week, and tell us about some of your favourite idfic! The 200k slow burn friends to lovers epic? The whumpy h/c with huddling for warmth and blanket sharing? The torrid, self-destructive hookup soap opera you just can't stop reading?

Tell us about it (and leave a link!)
