I've started my draft! It's slow going but it's going somewhere.

[iddybangmod]

\o/ Woo! Going somewhere deliciously iddy, no doubt - may words flow like a bountiful river! Thank you for checking in.

Well, I changed my mind about which project I'm working on, and the good news is that the new project comes with 1000 words written already and an outline for the rest! ...The bad news is that I have not produced any new words for it yet. But I'm going to poke at it this week and try to finish off a scene or two.

[iddybangmod]

You can do it! Knock those words out! Best of luck on your shiny new project - may you poke it into submission! :D Thanks for checking in.

I have several iddy fics totalling around 45K words; two are mostly finished, the others in various stages of completion. So my question is which one to use (loss of virginity? a birthday orgy? saving the universe via superpowered sex? etc.)...

[iddybangmod]

Whoa, 45k! This mod is impressed by your id's productivity. As for which one... *rolls the Magic Id Ball* Is 'all of the above' an option'? Thank you for checking in, and may the id carry the remainder of those fics to their completion *\o/*

[shopfront]

Things are... going. I wasn't expecting to be very far by the first check-in (August is always a terrible month that hates me), but I was hoping to be a bit further than I am. But I've reviewed my snippets and outline from last years attempt, and it needs less tweaking than I thought. Just a lot more words. And I have already added some more of those - plus Elim has now started picking Julian's pockets under cover of Julian being nudged into spilling his coffee on Elim, so I'm slipping pretty easily back into the indulgent silliness of my concept.

[iddybangmod]

Never to worry, there's still plenty of time for Elim to pick those pockets and so much more besides *\o/* Indulgence is the name of the id game. This mod is cheering you on, and thank you for checking in!

[wolf_of_lilacs]

Word count: 0.

I may need to drop out, but I'm not quite ready to commit to that yet. I know where I want the fic to go and may still be able to get it there. [crosses fingers]

[iddybangmod]

Not to worry, there's still plenty of time! May your id-spiration flow freely and carry your fic to the finish line - this mod's cheering you on *\o/* Thank you for checking in!

[muscle_wizard]

Things are going good, huhu.

Happily sailing along my indulgent river of spicy established relationship on the moon shenanigans.

[iddybangmod]

Spicy estsblished relationship on the moon shenanigans sounds wonderfully and delightfully iddy to this mod :D It sounds like things are going swimmingly! Thank you for checking in *\o/*

[dirty_diana]

Not really making any progress, but checking in anyway!

[iddybangmod]

There's plenty of time still for the id to shine! This mod is cheering you on, and thank you for checking in *\o/*

[ladybrooke]

I have words! Hoping to be closer to done soon.

[iddybangmod]

You got this! May the fountain of your id-spiration flow free, and thank you for checking in *\o/*

[impala_chick]

OMG I need to get going on this!! I've got ideas swirling and a bit of an outline.

[iddybangmod]

You've got this! Write like the wind, and thank you for checking in. *\o/*

[plutonianshores]

I have 0 words, although I do have a detailed outline :/ Not quite ready to admit defeat yet, though! Hoping to make time for some progress in the next week or two

[iddybangmod]

Never to fear, there's plenty of time still! May the id smile down upon your fic in the next week or two, and thank you for checking in. *\o/*

[jessalae]

My fic is written and my beta just finished with it! It's at about 23k at the moment, and I'm guessing it'll stay roughly that length after edits, but who knows. There is porn, there is angst, there is fluff, my id has run wild, I am stoked as hell.

[iddybangmod]

This mod is mighty impressed by that 23k, and what a smorgasbord of id - porn, angst, fluff, oh my! Thank you for checking in, and may the id be with you all through editing *\o/*

[esteliel]

My original idea just didn't want to progress at all, but now I've got a pony play fic in an entirely different fandom started... :D

[iddybangmod]

The id is fickle, but maybe this is the idea for which it will settle... Write like the wind, and thank you for checking in *\o/*

[lynndyre]

I don't know if the werewolf side of things adds enough to the plot to be here.

Editing the beginning to add more explosions.

[iddybangmod]

*rolls a magic id ball* All signs point to werewolves: heck yes. And there can always be one more explosion! Thank you for checking in *\o/*

[samuraiter]

As per usual for me when I participate here, I am still in the prewriting phase at this point in my project (because my job likes to make it hard to find time to create things), but at least it is taking shape.

[iddybangmod]

May the id harvest be bountiful for you this year! This mod is cheering you on, and thank you for checking in *\o/*

[falsettodrop]

I hit 5k! But that's only about 1/3 of my fic, so I'm hoping to really get to work the next two weeks.

[iddybangmod]

You've got this! May the id-spiration flow freely for those next two weeks, and thank you for checking in. *\o/*

[dreamiflame]

I'm so late, sorry! Still plugging away, though my wips are fighting me a bit

[iddybangmod]

No worries at all! May you keep plugging away at those stubborn wips and receive the iddiest of rewards! \o/

[snakeandladders]

Here to check in! Finally settled on an idea and a fandom, hoping to get an outline and some words on paper.

[iddybangmod]

ID-CELLENT! You've got plenty of time and this mod has every faith in you! Thanks for checking in.

Check In

[nienna324]

I have some ideas swirling but haven’t started this yet as I’m working on other projects currently + am really busy. I may have to drop out, not sure yet. (2Nienna2 on AO3)

Re: Check In

[iddybangmod]

No worries at all - let the ideas flower at their own pace, and you'll be richly reward(id)! Thanks for checking in. :D

[jedibuttercup]

Checking in a little late! Ambushed by unexpected (not bad, but extremely time-consuming) RL events.

I don't have much written yet, but I've acquired more canon for review, and the ideas are flowing.

[iddybangmod]

Hello! There's still plenty of time left, and this mod is rooting for you - may iddy ideas flow like the headiest nectar! *\o/* Thanks for checking in.

[friendlycybird]

I haven't done much but outline yet but as this is gonna be the next fic in the series I started for this bang last year so outlining has mostly just been deciding what's gonna go in this story specifically, narrowing it down a bit. Deciding which tropes my id wants to focus on.

[iddybangmod]

Hello! YOU CAN DO THIS. Harness your iddy powers, whip that outline into shape and write like the wind! :DD Thanks for checking in.

[biffelderberry]

whoops, almost missed check in! Sorry!

Life threw me a curve ball so I haven't made nearly as much progress as I'd like, but it looks like things are finally settling down. So I should have some good writing time ahead? May end up swapping out a fic for a new fandom that's grabbed my id and won't let go?

[iddybangmod]

No problem! We're sorry to hear about life throwing you a curveball, and wish you many fruitful words to fill your id coffers! *\o/* The id wants what it wants...if a new fandom's grabbed you, feel free to switch over!

[lovin_torture]

Hi guys, I'm relieved I'm not the only one but sorry I almost missed the check in! I have a lot going on offline but I am planning in the back of my mind what I'm going to do. I just need to start properly plotting and get the words out :D

[iddybangmod]

Hello! No worries, you've got this! :D May iddy power see you through to completion - thanks for checking in.

[flipflop_diva]

Ahhhh, this is late, but I'm still here. I don't have any actual words except for the many that are floating around in my head, but I do have a pretty solid idea and I expect to start actually writing it within the next few days!

[iddybangmod]

We're glad you're still here! :D Floaty words are potential - may you harness them and write like the wind, friend! Thanks for checking in.

I don't think my last comment went in, I did it anonymously. I made an account this time so hope this works! My friend and I are working together on the visual novel, it's got an outline so far! We are curious if this format is allowed for an iddy bang? Thanks!

[iddybangmod]

Hello! You are welcome to submit a visual novel (in fact, that sounds very exciting to this mod 👀) - great job on the outline, and may the id guide you to finishing the rest! *\o/* Thanks for checking in.

[telm_393]

Sorry I’m late!!! I’m trucking along. It’s Legends of Tomorrow whump and I have...okay, technically I have 1.1k if I go with the idfic I’m currently going with, which is what I’m going with since it’s whumpy to a ridiculous extent and I only signed up for one fic.

I realize that it seems like I’m very behind, but you have to note that I have several thousand words of highly enthusiastic chatfic.

The whump is sincerely So Much, so I’m very relieved that I have an excuse to write it.

Edit: ...Though I will say that if I don’t finish the So Much whump in time, I may use a different WIP LOT whump fic instead. It also fits. I may do that.

[iddybangmod]

Never to fear - you have words written, so you're already in the game! You got this *\o/* Go get those characters whumped to the end of the world and back. Thank you for checking in!
