Writing status: Draft is 100% complete!

Editing status: ...maybe 10% complete. Ew.

After doing a full read-through, I'm really happy with this story in general! There are a whole lot of wrinkles to iron out, but it's mostly simple stuff.

[iddybangmod]

Well done on finishing that draft! It sounds fantastic *\o/* May your editing pen be sharp as an arrow and swift as the wind. Thank you for checking in!

[shamebucket]

I think I bit off more than I can chew and I'm going to drop everything except the thing I DMed you about, which I still would very much like to do. But the other two that I publicly posted about are going to have to be shelved for another time, alas!

[iddybangmod]

No worries, we gotchu! Thank you for letting us know, and best of luck with that project - you and your id have got this. *\o/* Thank you for checking in!

[fleetsparrow]

Writing is going... um... well, you see....

But at least my idea is... uh... sorta....

It's not happening. I have no ideas anymore. I am now full on "Head: Empty" and I think I'm not going to do anything this round. Which bugs me. But the idea I started with is going to be way longer than I'd originally anticipated, and I'm just.... *sigh*

Maybe I'll go with my other YGO idea?? Which is basically an entire retelling of YGO with a major double-cross???

...why do I do this to myself?

[iddybangmod]

There is still plenty of time! We hope the fount of id will begin to flow soon *\o/* If bouncing ideas around might help, we have a chat post and a Discord. Thank you for checking in!

[flockofcrows]

I'm at around 4.5k so I'll be able to reach the minimum wordcount soon. The middle is still a royal mess and I realized I prefer writing UST to writing porn but at this point, I don't want to mess with the story I originally had in mind in any major way.

[iddybangmod]

Nearly there! Sounds like you've got a plan and it's going well - UST is as iddy as can be, or so this mod thinks. Write like the wind, and thank you for checking in *\o/*

[sodium_amytal]

I'm almost done!!! :D At 20k so far, shouldn't be more than 25 when all is said and done. I'll have to do a bit of editing, and whip together an edit and a couple illustrations, but that should be doable by the deadline.

[iddybangmod]

Whoa, look at that impressive 20K of pure id! Best of luck with the rest - write like the wind, and thank you for checking in *\o/*

[wolffyluna]

Good news: I'm about two thirds of the way through the first draft!

Bad(?) news: It looks like it's going to be a little longer than I expected, and I might have to cut a bit for time, but we'll see. (That bit could work just as well as a sequel, anyway).

[iddybangmod]

Awesome job on 2/3 of a first draft! Never fear, there's still plenty of time to write. May the id be bountiful, and thank you for checking in!

[iomixit]

I have a fairly detailed outline and...maybe 500 workable words of my unbelievably miserable CMBYN angstfest Hoping to get a complete very drafty first draft done by the second check-in but otherwise feeling pretty good!

-asuralucier (ao3) x

[iddybangmod]

An unbelievably miserable angstfest sounds unbelievably iddy to this mod ❤_❤ You have got this *\o/* Write like the wind, and thank you for checking in!

[threewalls]

I have about 10k so far, of what I hope is going to be less than 15k.

[iddybangmod]

10K! That's very impressive. May the id continue to be bountiful, and thank you for checking in *\o/*

[anysin]

I ended up flailing between ideas again, did a lot of work on one and then changed my mind, but now I'm settled on my final idea and am making good progress!

[iddybangmod]

Three cheers for a final idea! Good job on making good progress, and you have got this *\o/* Thank you for checking in!

[almach]

I haven't made any new progress, but I signed up with a drawerfic that was already at 4.5k words, so… things are… maybe okay? I kind of accidentally tripped and fell headfirst into a different fandom and I've been writing a lot for that, and there's a slight chance I'll end up using one of my new wips for IIBB. You will definitely get 5k words of something from me, but at this point I don't know whether it's going to be Saint Seiya sex pollen fic or MDZS mpreg fic, lol.

(stickpenalties on ao3)

[iddybangmod]

Any idfic is great idfic! (Both sex pollen and mpreg sound wonderful to this mod, btw. 👀) You have got this. *\o/* Thank you for checking in!

[firecat]

I’ve decided my ship at least…and it will be connected to a couple of teaser scenes I’ve already posted, so there are several plot points I could incorporate, assuming I get to anything resembling plot in among all the smutty things these characters are going to want to do to each other.

[iddybangmod]

Our magic id ball says plot is absolu-id-ly optional amidst all that smut. May the fount of id flow free, and thank you for checking in *\o/*

[jacquelee]

Got a pretty firm idea that still depends on what the (ongoing) canon is doing. The finale will most likely be after the deadline, so I'm gonna have to poke my id to write the fic whether or not it'll turn out a full AU in some aspects (I mean, nothing wrong with that anyways, but my brain doesn't let me write as long as it's stuck in 'what if' limbo - and of course it also doesn't let me switch to a different idea, cause that would be far too easy. *sigh*).

[iddybangmod]

Creating for an ongoing canon sounds tough - may later instalments shake the id free! Thank you for checking in *\o/*

[theoriesontales]

Checking in! (Tupsu @ ao3)

I decided to take an old cyberpunk! Kingdom hearts drawer fic and finish it. It has been... rough. I might've forgotten how hard editing is. I am still determined to get it done but I will need to do some major rewriting to make it work. I did a similar treatment to a Potter-fic at a past iddy and it turned out fine so not too worried. Still waiting for the moment when all the pieces fall into place though.

[iddybangmod]

You've done it once, you can do it twice! May the id help all the pieces fall into place. You have got this *\o/* Thank you for checking in!

[frausorge]

My draft is at about 2500 words right now. I've been struggling with feeling uninspired, but here's hoping I can get myself back into it soon!

[iddybangmod]

You're halfway there *\o/* May the fountain of id-spiration flow free! Thank you for checking in, and we're cheering you on all the way.

[argylepiratewd]

I'm close to the halfway point, but not quite there. But there's still progress happening, so I'm not too worried yet. :D

[iddybangmod]

Slow and steady is how the id rolls! Great job on being nearly halfway *\o/* May the id guide your pen, and thank you for checking in \o/

[crowtoes]

Currently struggling to balance the ratio of plot vs. porn and feeling like I've gotten in way over my head. At least I've already hit 5k? Even though it's all a total incoherent mess? :D?

[iddybangmod]

Well done on making 5K! Never fear, the id is here and will help you find that plot/porn ratio! Best of luck, and thank you for checking in *\o/*

[goldenteaset]

Writing-wise: 80%, I think? Editing is about the same, because I keep going back and checking things to make sure they flow together. ^^;

As for gripes, well, I'm a bit miffed at myself for trying to hustle through certain scenes, because this unexpected "love" confession has no real weight behind it. But I have no idea where to *put* that weight, if I want to have this done on time. Maybe I'll think of something between now and the deadline...

[iddybangmod]

Well done on 80%! Never fear, you (and your id) still have plenty of time to decide how to handle that love confession. You got this *\o/* Thank you for checking in!

[omgtabby]

WHUFF Got my outline wrapped! Now just to do script, thumbs, pencils, inks, tones..... T_T

[iddybangmod]

Awesome job on that outline! You and your id have got this *\o/* Thank you for checking in.

[handmaid]

Somewhere in the neighborhood of 3-5k but I'm debating throwing away a lot of it because it's like...Too Perfect for virginal teenage sex? And I haven't written any of the buildup just the porn, RIP. I intend to finish it's just hard af rn.

[iddybangmod]

You're a good part of the way there! There is time to find out how the rest goes. May the id guide your pen, and we're cheering you on *\o/* Thank you for checking in!

[ladybrooke]

The fics keep sprawling, but I’m still mostly confident I can get them done! At least as long as they don’t spawn any more subplots.

[iddybangmod]

You and your id have got this *\o/* Write like the wind, and thank you for checking in!

[wynnebat]

Finished the draft, just need to edit it sometime before posting!

[iddybangmod]

Well done on finishing *\o/* May the id guide your editing pen, and thank you for checking in!

This is AO3/DW user syrupwit!

I have about 1.6k of actual writing so far, but I also have a complete outline, so... we'll see. ^___^;

[iddybangmod]

You're off to an awesome start! Mods are cheering you on *\o/* Thank you for checking in!

[jedibuttercup]

I've had other exchanges to clear the decks on first, so I'm not very far in writing this one: 245 words, actually. LOL.

But I know what I'm writing and am doing canon review, so hopefully that number will go up fast.

[iddybangmod]

You have got this in the bag! May the id smile down upon your fic, and thank you for checking in *\o/*

[kanadka]

I have a full outline and about the first 3k writ! This outline is pretty detailed, and though I'm excited to move onto the writing phase :D unfortunately it also means it has grown quite a bit D: so there's another at least 7k to go. wish me luck mods~

[iddybangmod]

Well done on 3K and a fantastic iddy outline! Best of luck to you and your id - you have got this. *\o/* Thank you for checking in!

[chibifukurou]

Having some timing issues but still expect to be done by posting.
