So excited!!!

First time idficcer here! I discovered this bang this past year and totally fell in love with the concept

I'm Alex, hailing from the SPN fandom 👋

Right now I don't know whether to go with zombies-on-an-airplane or an android-with-a-soul premise right now but either way I'm super excited to be part of this 💥!

Another first-timer here!

I'm mostly in the MCU fandom, though I have a very iddy original idea bouncing around in my head that I might put down on paper. I'm nervous and excited (this is my first bang)!

Hi! I've signed up at least once and totally failed, but maybe this is my year? I want to vid but haven't yet decided on which idea - wavering between going happy and going sad.

It's my first time too! But I've got some kinky Merlin stuff I want to explore.

It's my first time joining this bang, too. I was drawn to it as soon as I saw the announcement post, because I have a drawerfic WIP that I've been on the fence about posting, and this seems like a golden opportunity to let it see the light of day.

But I'm finding myself getting more critical about my story in the process of transcribing it into an actual typed draft. For one thing, I have to put the scenes into some kind of concrete order, which I hadn't worked out in detail before. And I'm worrying more about whether the scenes fit with the canon timeline, too. And maybe the fic needs a better ending than the one I have? - If anyone else is starting with a WIP, do you feel like moving into fic challenge mode is changing how you think about it?

Uhhh so I did my original MCU IIBB fic for Camp Nano and now my first draft is done?? I'm to the point where I've reread it so many times I can't edit it properly, so it's just gonna have to sit until I can actually read the words again.

So... I'm writing a second IIBB! Hannibal TV this time. Way less fluffy than the last one.

This is my first time too, and so far I'm really excited about my idea! Lots of whump and hurt/no comfort, and I've got a bingo card I can pull tropes from if I get really stuck. I'm also outlining an origfic idea that I may use for NaNo if I still really feel it come November, so that's something else to look forward to.

Anyway, I'm having a blast working on my project!

Iddy Talk Time #1!

[iddybangmod]

What's the scene you're most looking forward to working on?
and/or
What D&D alignment are your characters?

[flowersforgraves]

On Fic #1, I'm looking forward to writing the emotional catharsis at the end -- codependent pair that had a falling out getting back to feeling safe with each other :g:

On Fic #2, I'm mostly just interested in dumping all my emotions and confusion and being lost about my ethnic / cultural identity on my faves. If canon isn't going to give me queer Latine characters with ties to both queerness and being disconnected from cultural heritage, then I'll just have to make canon give me some!

Both protagonists of Fic #1 are chaotic good (or at least, they'd class themselves that way) and the three characters I'm focussing on for Fic #2 are neutral good, chaotic neutral, and true neutral. (I have other thoughts about what classes they'd be and what classes they'd play, but that's another comment.)

Hello! I, too, am new to this bang, but I'm super looking forward to it. I just finished a giant self-indulgent fic last year, so I'm looking forward to kind of doing that again. Now I just have to find time with all the other exchanges I'm doing. I'm planning on writing a really dark Batman fic that I'm not even sure I'll post, because it's maybe too iddy?? But we'll see.

Iddy Talk Time #2!

[iddybangmod]

Are you writing anything outside your usual comfort zone?
and/or
In your story, which character(s) get what they want, and who's left wanting?

Iddy Talk Time #3!

[iddybangmod]

Give us fic spoilers without context!Alternatively, What comment would Aunt Agnes leave on your fic?

Iddy Talk Time #4!

[iddybangmod]

What does your id smell like? Alternatively, describe, from your main character's POV, what's happening in your fic/art right this scene.

Iddy Talk Time #5!

[iddybangmod]

What's the line (or scene) you like the most right now? Alternatively, is there a song that fits your iddywork perfectly? Or describe your iddywork here and crowdsource a fanmix. (Mixers, you're totally welcome to give ideas or grab ideas!)
