I've been busy finishing a different fic so I haven't written a word on this one yet. 😣 Well, I've been poking at my outline off and on, but pretty soon I'm going to have to either really get to work on writing this idea, or switch it out for something much less ambitious. (tendency on AO3)

[iddybangmod]

No worries at all, these things happen! May the id guide your pen, and thank you for checking in *\o/*

[threewalls]

I am just a touch over 5k but not at all close to done according to my outline. So I at least know where I'm going with this, I just have to get there.

[iddybangmod]

You can get there *\o/* Mods are cheering you on! Write like the wind, and thank you for checking in.

[ancslove]

I posted yesterday, or at least thought it went through, but it seems to have disappeared!

Got my idea and outline sorted, hope to start writing soon. And I beg Mod to have mercy on me for being a day late with this!

[iddybangmod]

Did you comment anonymously, by any chance? We screen anon comments but we do get them, no worries (and thank you for checking in here anyway!)

You'll be assigned a posting date between Sept 12 and 19, so it's more likely than not that you will get that extra day *\o/*

[rainsoaked]

I haven't written anything yet, oops! Maybe that's what I should be doing today...

[iddybangmod]

May you have id-spiration soon! Mods are cheering you on, and thank you for checking in *\o/*

[limonpartido]

2k written down! Turned out not to be any of the two options I had anticipated. Oh well.

Ao3: milkteaneri

[iddybangmod]

The id wants what it wants! And if what the id wants is those 2K and more, then, you know what... we say go for it (id) *\o/* Thank you for checking in!

[karanguni]

/stares into the blank page abyss

[iddybangmod]

If you write some words, the id can stare back at you!

You got this 💪 💪 💪 Mods are cheering you on, and thank you for checking in *\o/*

[pameluke]

I have written 5k \o/
On 4 different stories /o\

My id is pretty much all over the place, so hopefully it'll settle down soon (and not be too distracted by other shinies, *cough*FiaB*cough*).

[iddybangmod]

The id is a fickle muse! We hope the flights of fancy settle soon (into a 5+1, if so inclined?) Thank you for checking in *\o/*

[cerylid]

Yay - Checking in!
That's about all my brain can cope with today :)

[iddybangmod]

You and your id have got this *\o/* Thank you for checking in!

[flowersforgraves]

After losing most of what I wrote on this work due to a hard drive failure last year, I've reconstructed most of what I lost! I haven't broken wordcount yet, but I'm really enthused about where I'm going with this! (AO3 user flowersforgraves)

[iddybangmod]

A hearty well done on reconstructing all of that! (Oof, this mod is so sorry to hear about your hard drive.) This work is gonna be so great *\o/* May the id guide your pen, and thank you for checking in!

[wynnebat]

Still not quite sure where my id is going, but I've started! Fingers crossed to reach the goal.

[iddybangmod]

You and your id have GOT this. *\o/* We'll see you at the finish line, and tank you for checking in!

[crowtoes]

Not much progress yet, but hopefully I can change that over the next couple of weeks!

[iddybangmod]

Write like the wind! Mods are cheering you on, and thank you for checking in *\o/*

[chibifukurou]

Sorry I'm late to this. I'm a bit all over the place this month. My fic is in progress. Still mostly in the planning stage but will be ready to post on time.
Ao3 is chibifukurou

[iddybangmod]

Sorry we're late in replying! You've got this *\o/* Thank you for checking in!

[sunspot]

SORRY had this check in written in my agenda and then.... forgot to check said agenda.

I have 1 (biggish) scene left to write, but I know where it's going. AND I thought of a title!!

(AO3 is sunspot (unavoidedcrisis))

[iddybangmod]

(Sorry we're late in replying!) You have GOT that scene, and mods are cheering you on *\o/* Thank you for checking in!

[valiantbarnes]

whoops, sorry for the late check in, RL was... Very Much this past week. But! I have been writing... by which i mean, for one story i have written and re-written and written and re-written the opening scenes repeatedly before eventually scrapping it and taking a completely different angle. So... progress?? for my other story, i have approximately 350 words - but none of them have needed to be re-written extensively, so perhaps that is the story that is progressing better ahaha.

[iddybangmod]

(We're sorry for the late reply too /o\) Every rewrite is a step in the right direction, and we hope you and your id find the version of the story that works for you *\o/* Thank you for checking in!

[dirty_diana]

Plugging away on first drafts! I think I've switched projects on my fic, though I keep daydreaming about making the other one work.

[iddybangmod]

We're cheering you on all the way, and may your id guide your chosen project to the finish line! (And if you and your id daydream about making the other one work, too... we at IIBB support you all the way, too!) Thank you for checking in *\o/*

[tehhumi]

I forgot about the check in until now, but I am still writing!
The main characters are comparing scars, which is totally not about groping your hot older self.

Re: check in

[iddybangmod]

(Sorry for the late reply, too!) This mod thinks comparing scars is a fantastic reason to grope one's hot older self, and a great iddy trope all on its own, too. Write like the wind, and thank you for checking in *\o/*

[snickfic]

Alas, I think I have to drop out this round. Next year!!

Edit: I take it back!! I came up with an idea that I think is doable in the time I have left. I'm going to give it a shot. So this is my check-in. :)

[iddybangmod]

We're thrilled you're back! May your pen be swift as a coursing river and your id have the strength of a great typhoon *\o/* Go go go go go! Thank you for checking in.

[cousinshelley]

I missed this check-in, but I'm still participating! I haven't found the notebook, but I remembered the main points and started reworking it.

[iddybangmod]

Oh no, we're sorry to hear about the notebook, but mods are cheering you on for the rework *\o/* May the id guide your pen, and thank you for checking in!

[judiejudie]

totally forgot to check in until now, whoops, but i'm at, uh... 21k. hopefully i can wrangle it into something presentable by the deadline!

[iddybangmod]

21K, whoa, look at you and your id go! You've got this in the bag. Mods are cheering you on all the way to the finish line *\o/* Thank you for checking in!

[greygerbil]

Super late for the check-in because of vacation, but working away! I might have to request October Amnesty later, though, because unfortunately summer is a lot busier than I hoped it would be.

[iddybangmod]

Sure, let us know if you decide to try for an amnesty date! Summer is a busy time of year for sure. May the id guide your pen, and thank you for checking in *\o/*

[esteliel]

Checking in very late, but at last the words have begun to flow and there is some progress.

[iddybangmod]

We're glad the id has begun to flow! May the fount of id continue to guide your pen, and mods are cheering you on all the way. Thank you for checking in *\o/*

[kateoftheangels]

Whoops, I missed the check in, but my fic is done! 8k, terrible iddy MFU TV crack. Hoping to send it out to beta shortly. (I’m Kate_Wisdom on AO3.)

[iddybangmod]

(No worries, we'll count this as your check-in!) Look at you and your id go *\o/* Well done on being done (and all the best with the beta), and we will see you at the finish line! Thank you for checking in.
