Check-In #2: Id Omens ★☆

[iddybangmod]

Time to take off the id gloves - it's time for the second check-in! \o/

As usual, share where you're at in the writing process or a description of your current piece – and if you'd like, how close you are to finishing! Or just say hi, or have a bit of a gripe.

As a reminder, if you miss both check-ins you will be auto-dropped from the bang.

Completed stories are due on September 12th! Posting week will be Sept 12-18. We will send you your posting date via email (or other contact method, if requested) by Sept 10th. If you think you may need an extension, please let us know.

If you'd like a second pair of eyes (or ears, or playtesting hands...) on your iddywork, we now have a beta post!

My draft has gone through two rounds of revisions now and will be ready to post after another quick read-through. It's an undercover marriage Marvel comicsverse Clint Barton/Kate Bishop story and clocks in at a little over 17k :)

[luminist]

My draft went from 7k to 11k during the editing process, haha. Almost done now!! Just need to edit this last bit and then do one final pass...

[merryghoul]

For lack of better words, I’m reformatting my story. But I should be ready before the due date.

[brumeier]

I'm unfortunately going to have to bow out this go-round. My fic isn't anywhere close to done, and my muse has skipped town. Maybe I'll be closer to finished the next time this comes around? LOL!

[anysin]

I have a 10k first draft, it needs some adjusting but I am also hoping to find a beta for it soon (which I feel will be difficult because of the terminal illness content, but let's see).

[taichara]

I'm still here! I'm flailing around and yelling, but I'm still here --

[sodium_amytal]

Almost done! On the last round of testing~

[tildytwo]

Functionally complete. I feel like I was more satisfied with the stuff I finished last year, but this is, at least, mostly finished.

I'm close to finishing the first draft! Hopefully, today or tomorrow.

I'm going slower than I expected, but I'm still going!

[goldenteaset]

I'm at the editing process now! It's going surprisingly smooth, with only a few speed bumps here and there. Your comment on my last check-in really encouraged me to keep at it (the shopping trip doesn't just sound good to me!), thank you for that. :D

[kalloway]

I'm nowhere near done but if it can cool off for the weekend I can hopefully get things in gear and get some things happening.

The sex. I need to write the sex scenes. It is like 40C humidex it is too hot to write the sex today, omg.

[wolf_of_lilacs]

I'm not going to finish and need to drop out. RL stuff got messy again and I've made no progress. Fingers crossed for next year, I suppose.

[iddybangmod]

So close to the finish line! All the best with that last read-through, and thank you for checking in!

[iddybangmod]

11K! Well done, that's a feat ✨ May your editing pen be swift as the wind, and thank you for checking in!

[iddybangmod]

No worries, thank you for letting us know! If you finish the fic after all, feel free to post to the IIBB 2023 AO3 collection. Take care now and (hopefully) see you next year!

[iddybangmod]

Mods are cheering you on throughout the editing process! If you'd like to put out a beta request, we have a beta post this year, or you can ask on the IIBB discord or betaplease. Best of luck, and thank you for checking in *\o/*

We believe in you and your id! Those sex scenes can definitely out-hot the heat 😳 May you write like the wind (and stay cool, that weather sounds rough!), and thank you for checking in *\o/*
