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.

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.

(this is syrupwit on ao3!)

Unfortunately I'll have to drop this year. Some year or another, I'll finish this bang when I sign up. Thank you mods!

[ladybrooke]

Real life is chaos, but I’m determined to finish! I might need an extension though (one year I am going to do this and real life is going to behave).

[wolfshark]

I'm done!! Yayay!

I have 3k! I think I can confidently finish by the deadline, but that doesn't factor in as much editing as I'd like. I think an extension for the first amnesty would be great (September 26), just to make sure I have enough editing time, but I can post that on the mod contact entry if that's better!

[tehhumi]

I am unfortunately dropping out - my fic is just not getting written. I'm still excited to read everyone else's though!

I had better drop out. I have some words written but there’s some family stuff that’s eating my attention. I’ll post it to the collection if I do finish it anywhere near the deadline.

Thank you for running this fun and encouraging event!

[poeticpains]

I've hit the minimum word count and just need to finish this one scene before I can go through and edit!

[seleneheart]

I'm finished and have sent it off to the beta! (who has decided that she has time)

[kanadka]

Checking in! I think I'm good to go, and I am very determined to finish, but all the same I would be very happy with the October extension date, if that's okay. 🙏️🙏️

I am almost done!!! I hopefully will finish in the next couple of days, we will see if this ends up breaking 30k or not...

Though, would it be possible to request to be assigned one of the later posting dates so I can be sure to have enough time to get it back from my beta? Since it ended up so long I want to make sure they have enough time.

Doing my best!

[fleetsparrow]

Time for me to drop out, once again. One of these years I'll be 1) prepared, 2) able to finish, 3) prepared???.
