almost done!! ... that is, if I don't change my mind and work on something else for the challenge D: Otherwise I have about one chapter (4/5k) to go. Kinda stuck but I'll work through it.

[iddybangmod]

4/5 of the way there! A hearty well done, and you have GOT that final chapter too. This mod is cheering you on *\o/* Thank you for checking in!

[muccamukk]

I am very excited to say that I finished my fic! Then I was so excited about it that I posted it to AO3. So now I have to write another fic entirely, but I'm pretty sure I'll manage it.

[iddybangmod]

*\o/* Well done on finishing! In this house we love and appreciate all id, regardless of whether posted to IIBB. We also look forward to your next iddy masterpiece *\o/* Thank you for checking in!

[shetiger]

I am about halfway through...a completely different idea than what I'd intended. So I'll have something done for sure. (Maybe I'll get to the original idea, too.)

I'm tigerlady (shetiger) on AO3.

[iddybangmod]

The id wants what it wants! May the fountain of id-spiration flow free for your new idea, and thank you for checking in *\o/*

[shamebucket]

I uh, haven't written anything yet! I think I'm pivoting away from my second idea to a New and Shiny second idea which involves murder boyfriends getting high together, but I guess we'll see what happens!

[iddybangmod]

That sounds like a wonderful iddy idea to this mod :D May the id guide your pen, and thank you for checking in *\o/*

[souljelly]

Checking in with not much commentary except that some writing is happening, woo!

[iddybangmod]

You and your id have GOT this *\o/* write like the (w)i(n)d! Thank you for checking in.

[frausorge]

With my draft currently at 5k, I think I'm a little more than halfway there. I haven't fully figured out the rest of the arc yet, but I do know where I want them to land, so here's hoping for inspiration!

[iddybangmod]

Woo, well done on finishing that 5K! You've got the first half and an ending, now let the id show you the rest of the way there. Wishing you all the id-spiration, and thank you for checking in!

[graveexcitement]

haven’t written anything yet and i’ve fallen into another fandom, so i might switch to another idea entirely…

[iddybangmod]

No worries, there's plenty of time yet! You and your id have got this. *\o/* Thank you for checking in!

[bring_me_sugar]

Got an idea, which I'm going to start to pound out next week.

[iddybangmod]

GO YOU! Mods have faith you can give that id a good pounding! \o/ Good luck, and thanks for checking in!

[moongoddex]

I'm over the minimum wordcount, but I'm definitely not done 😅 I've got almost everything that's left outlined though, and writing goes way faster when I know where I'm going with the plot!

[iddybangmod]

*\o/* Whoo, well done on hitting 5K! You have got this in the bag. Go go go *\o/* Thank you for checking in!

[yuuago]

Bleh.

Draft is complete, but I've only done a minor amount of editing (there's a lot that needs to be done, though).

RL has been crazy busy, so I haven't been able to work on my idfic as much as I'd like! I'm going to do as much as I can before the next check-in to see if I can get it to a place where I'll for sure be able to meet the completion deadline.

[iddybangmod]

No worries, there's plenty of time yet! We hope things calm down for you soon and that id-spiration smiles upon you. Thank you for checking in *\o/*

[firstfairytale]

Hello! Just checking in, thanks!

[iddybangmod]

Thank you for checking in! Mods are cheering for you *\o/*

[amancay]

I'm about halfway through my first draft! I hope. It keeps growing.

ETA: forgot to include my AO3 username, I'm laurus_nobilis over there.

[iddybangmod]

A growing draft is a fantastic draft! Let the id flow through you *\o/* Thank you for checking in.

[tildytwo]

I'm at more than 5k on my original idea, but I'm not sure if I'll be posting it. It's definitely iddy, but it seems so pointless. Could be the depression talking, IDK.

I did write around 5k of another, different iddy work, though, so I'll definitely have something to post.

I'm nervousasexual over on AO3.

[iddybangmod]

Psst, this mod's letting you in a little secret: Here at IIBB, the iddy IS the point. So you and your idfic(s) are bang on target, and we commend you on an iddy job well done *\o/* See you at the finish line, and thank you for checking in!

[fadedwings]

I am about 3/4 of the way done, maybe a little more. It's at about 15,000 words at the moment and I've been doing some edits as I go, so it shouldn't take too long to go over and tighten up once I'm done.

AO3 = dreamerfound

[iddybangmod]

Wow, look at you and your id go! May the id guide your writing (and then editing) pen, and thank you for checking in *\o/*

[firstlovelatespring]

The good: I've written way more than I expected to! This fic that I've been thinking about for almost a year now finally has words :D

The bad: The more I write, the more I realize how much more will be needed to finish this story. It's exciting, but also daunting. Not sure I'll be able to finish by the deadline.

[iddybangmod]

In this mod's book, there's no downside to more words! \o/ May you id lavishly and crash through the deadline on gilded wings (and if not, hopefully fun was had! :D) Thanks for checking in.

[angelette]

I've written around 1k words.

[iddybangmod]

IDCELLENT! A very good start! May the call of the id find you, and empower you to land that 5k goal! *\o/* Thanks for checking in.

[goldenteaset]

It's going, I think! GBF gave me a lot of iddy juice to work with last month (Belial in a swimsuit? Yes please), but it may have been too powerful. I only realized yesterday that I started writing/posting another id fic right in the middle of working on my submission...

There's still hope, though! My submission this year will be shorter than my last, so with luck I can get that done on time.

[iddybangmod]

Let the iddy juice loose! *\o/* Swimsuit Belial throwing a ball wrench into your plans is perfectly understandable - may the id guide your pen to a fruitful second fic! Thanks for checking in.

[zappobrien]

I've got 2.5k words on what I'm assuming will be a 5k piece once I'm done with it, so I should be halfway there!

[iddybangmod]

Halfway to iddy heaven, aww yeah! Sounds like you're killing it -- may the id flow free as the summer streams and carry you to a blissful finish! Thanks for checking in \o/

[madfalldyn]

I'm at 2.5k words and I think that's maybe about 1/3rd? But who knows if it will grow as I go.

[iddybangmod]

Never fear, our Magic Id Ball™ says your fic will grow to great iddy heights! :D Keep at the goodness, and thanks for checking in.

[nunu52chu]

Checking in to say writing is happening & to ask if it's okay to potentially post chapters (of a probable multi chap fic) on separate days within the posting period please, with the fic being fully posted before the end of the bang? Or do they need to be posted all in one go?

Apologies if I've missed this somewhere

Nununununu on AO3

[iddybangmod]

Hello! If you'd like to post the work in chapter installments over a period of time, that's fine, but we ask that you post at least 5K on your initial (assigned) posting date.

Thank you for checking in! May you write like the (w)i(n)d \o/

[anysin]

I ended up swapping ideas, but I got started with my new one! It's still just taking baby steps and I will need to write a lot of words, but I have a good feeling about it.

[iddybangmod]

HECK YEAH, SWAP THAT ID! Sometimes a saucy devil of a second idea taps you on the shoulder -- kudos to following your id-stincts, and good luck! Thanks for checking in!

[ingridmatthews]

With the beta reader and I'll be going over it again once that's done. I really wanted this other piece to be done, but got cold feet because it's too weird and iddy, maybe. So had this one done just in case I really can't finish the other one. But, I definitely have an Iddy RDJ Holmes fic ready for the masses in a couple of weeks!

AO3 = ingridmatthews

[iddybangmod]

Great work! \o/ Our id-ponies are neighing in delicious anticipation! Also, know that there's no such thing as too weird around here - if you ever feel like posting the other piece, please do go for it! Thanks for checking in!

[ladybrooke]

I’m on track with one story, struggling with the other! Hopefully the second cooperates soon.

[iddybangmod]

TWO WHOLE IDS! Here's a gentle modly cheer to wrangling that ornery second story: you can do it! :D Keep plugging away and thanks for checking in!

[merryghoul]

3K words and about halfway done. Working on an idea that isn’t one of the ideas I thought I’d be working on, but it’s working for me so far!

[iddybangmod]

Woo! So glad your idea's working for you! \o/ May the well of your id never run dry and guide you to glory this year! Thanks for checking in.

[paranoidangel]

It's just been one thing after another (mostly the weather being too hot) that's meant I just haven't had time/brain to write much. And my story is going to have more words than I can write in the time, so I am going to drop out.

[iddybangmod]

No worries, thank you for letting us know! If you decide to finish your work, feel free to add it to the IIBB 2022 collection!
