Truckin'! I am still pretty early (my notes doc is double the length of the main one lol), but I busted out the index cards to figure out the scene order of some tricky parts, so that was cool. I am still working on that werebear!Carmy (The Bear) w/ OCD fic, which is very close to my heart and I'm excited to get this done!

[iddybangmod]

This mod admires your index-card-rearranging dedication! Sounds like you're off to a (well-organised) running start *\o/* Thank you for checking in!

Changed my subject matter and fandom, but I have the full outline for the story and have been following it and am 2000 words in right now. It will probably be on the small side, but it explores an unusual side of my id and it's been interesting to work on for those reasons, and I will continue to truck along.

[iddybangmod]

The less-often-seen side of the id is exactly what we at IIBB are here for! May your id-explorations continue to be fruitful and enjoyable, and thank you for checking in *\o/*

It's going okay. But I keep getting distracted :)

[iddybangmod]

The path to true id never did run smooth! Mods are cheering you on all the way. Thank you for checking in *\o/*

Progress has been slow, but there's been progress. I know where I'm going with the storyline, and that's the most important part, right? ::grins::

[iddybangmod]

All progress is great progress! You know where you're going, and the id is sure to get you there *\o/* Thank you for checking in!

[wolf_of_lilacs]

Still picking away at the genderbent to f/f Roger of Conté/Alanna fic. The good news: I'm 2000 words in, which is further than I've ever gotten for IIBB. The less good news: this entire fic seems to be vibes and there isn't much of a story direction to tie it together, although I do have an endpoint in mind.

[iddybangmod]

Woohoo, nearly halfway there! That's great that you have an endpoint in sight, and may the id light the story path that leads there *\o/* Thank you for checking in.

I almost have a(n extremely rough) first draft! I got sidetracked for a while by an idea that is Very Iddy but also turned out to be too long for me to realistically finish by the deadline, so now it's back to my original plan. I just need to write the unhappy aftermath of this sex pollen...

[iddybangmod]

Well done on that almost-first draft *\o/* Sex pollen and the unhappy aftermath sounds positively delightful to this mod. Thank you for checking in!

[wolfshark]

Working away! I've got just under 17k and I might finally be getting my characters alone lol

[iddybangmod]

Wow, 17K already! You and your id have GOT this *\o/* Thank you for checking in!

I finished the first draft this morning and I'm feeling pretty good about it :) It clocked in at about 18k words. I'm going to let it sit for a week or so before diving into revisions.

[iddybangmod]

Wow, your id is swift! Well done on a first draft (and 18K), and mods are cheering you on through the editing process. Thank you for checking in *\o/*

Still trying to decide which of my iddy ideas I want to write!

[iddybangmod]

You've still got time to decide! We're IIBB, so we say: may the iddiest idea win *\o/* Thank you for checking in!

I'm working!

A goodly amount written! Plans for the rest goodly amount in progress! 🥳️ I think I'm roughly half done, ish?

[iddybangmod]

Woo, halfway there! 🥳 May the fount of id flow freely, and thank you for checking in!

[tehhumi]

ao3: tehhumi

I'm still writing! Not for either of the ideas I initially thought, but so it goes.

[iddybangmod]

Sometimes the id says: take a third option! May the id guide your pen, and thank you for checking in *\o/*

[goldenteaset]

I'm pretty sure I'm at the last chapter now! It feels like I've come a long way. Granblue Fantasy's canon gave me a lot to work with this year (my silly "bubbles that contain different worlds" from IIBB '21 wound up almost right), which helped.

As for a description: to make it a bit clearer than when I first signed up, it's a sequel to my IIBB '21 fic "Belial's Perverted Princess Training Diary", with Belial now setting his deviously sexy sights on Djeeta's "soulmate" Lyria. Dubcon pampering ensues. There's even a shopping trip this time!

[iddybangmod]

Woo, well done on getting to the last chapter! That's wonderful that canon provides all that iddy fodder, and dubcon pampering and a shopping trip sounds delightful to this mod. Thank you for checking in *\o/*

Ehhhh... I think I'm mostly done. The last chunk of it isn't very good, but that's where I'm at, writing-wise, these days.

[iddybangmod]

Woo, well done on almost being done! (If it helps at all: here at IIBB we believe there is no 'good', only 'iddy'. That is to say, we hope you're having fun with it!) Thank you for checking in *\o/*

Hi, this is syrupwit on ao3! I'm working on an original mix that's meant to tell a ghost story. It's going alright so far.

[iddybangmod]

Woo, we're cheering you on! May the id guide your ghostly DJ-ing, and thank you for checking in *\o/*

I'm good, over the minimum word count, have written the ending and most of the scenes. Need a few transitions.

[iddybangmod]

Woo, well done on being already almost done! Mods are cheering you on for those transitions, and thank you for checking in. *\o/*

[venadrin]

Wrote over 2k words so far! But most of it ended up becoming a separate fic 🥲

At least I liked both what is still in the main fic, and this separate idea.

[iddybangmod]

Parthogenesis of the id! Never fear, there's still plenty of time to write that initial idea. (And if you'd like to make that second fic your IIBB, you're very welcome to!) May the id guide your pen, and thank you for checking in *\o/*

[yudil]

AO3 is the same -- yudil

I was waffling on what to write for a long while, but a week or so ago I had a sort of epiphany and was like, yes!!! That one! So now I've latched onto an idea; I just need to start!

[iddybangmod]

All great idfics start with a great iddy idea! Mods are cheering you on, and thank you for checking in *\o/*

[amancay]

AO3 - laurus_nobilis

I only have a little over 1K so far, but to be fair I've been prioritizing a fic with an earlier deadline...

[iddybangmod]

Never fear, there's plenty of time still! Mods are cheering you on *\o/* Thank you for checking in!

Progress is going good! A few more illustrations and QoL adjustments, then some play-testing. Should be good to go for the September deadline. :D

[iddybangmod]

Woooo, well done! This mod thinks your project sounds amazing and can't wait to see it. May the final touches go well, and thank you for checking in *\o/*

Checking in! I've had a lot of work, but I still have faith in myself.

[iddybangmod]

There's plenty of time to get the iddy words flowing still! Mods are cheering you on too *\o/* Thank you for checking in!

[ladybrooke]

It’s going! Life was unexpectedly chaotic this week, but hopefully I’ll get more done this weekend.

[iddybangmod]

May the weekend be filled with id-spiration! This mod hopes things calm down for you soon, and thank you for checking in *\o/*

[poeticpains]

Well...I finally managed to start it...? [grimace] But hey, starting's the hardest part, right?

[iddybangmod]

Starting is half the battle indeed! Mods are cheering you on, and may the id guide your pen from here on out *\o/* Thank you for checking in!

[fleetsparrow]

I'm... not doing well. I have no idea what I'm going to write and I have have no plan. I've got so many other fics I need to finish, I haven't even thought about this one. Which is sad, because every year I want to do this and every year I forget or don't think about it until too late. ;__;

Hopefully next check-in will be more cheerful.

[iddybangmod]

Aw, sorry to hear it, but there's plenty of time still - mods are cheering you on, and we hope this is the year the fountain of id-spiration flows! Thank you for checking in *\o/*

Plugging along at this WIP, it's ending up very long but I'm over 2/3rds done? Once I hammer out a few more details it should be smooth sailing though

[iddybangmod]

Woo, over 2/3rds done! May the id guide your pen, and thank you for checking in *\o/*
