☆★ CHECK-IN #2: THE ELUSIVE ID☆★

[iddybangmod]

Summer's coming to a close, and 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.

I missed last check in, but I'm still here! Almost finished. I changed my fandom to My Two Dads.

[iddybangmod]

Welcome back!! And well done on almost being done. Mods are cheering you on *\o/* Thank you for checking in!

[dickinsons]

Oh, I just realised I missed this entry somehow!

I'm one scene away from finishing the draft, which will end up being about 15k long. Then it'll be time to edit, edit, edit! Hope everyone's doing well :D

[iddybangmod]

Wow, 15K is incredible! Edit like the wind *\o/* Thank you for checking in!

[27twinsister]

Id is 6.6K and complete! And formatted! (and doesn't need special formatting for the first 2/3, lol)

[iddybangmod]

Well done on being done! *\o/* That specially-formatted last 1/3 sounds very intriguing to this mod 👀 Thank you for checking in!

[amancay]

I'm at about 7.5K of a Qi Ye AU with sea monster Wu Xi and consentacles!

I'm not as far as I hoped for due to unexpected workload, but I can still make it on time. Still, if it's at all possible to get a posting date closer to the 18th than the 12th that would be ideal. :D

[iddybangmod]

May you be id-spired for the home stretch! We'll put you down for a later posting date. Thank you for checking in *\o/*

[wynnebat]

I missed the first check-in, but I’m still on track! Finishing and tying up loose ends.

[iddybangmod]

Welcome back! Mods are cheering you on for the home stretch *\o/* Thank you for checking in.

[resurrectfeeling]

Finished mine a bit ago, at almost 8k!

[iddybangmod]

Well done on nearly 8K! We'll see you at the finish line, and thank you for checking in *\o/*

[tildytwo]

Story is complete, and at this rate it doesn't appear I'll be doing a second story. Produced a nice, compact 5006 words, and I'm pretty proud of it. :)

[iddybangmod]

Bullseye on that target word count *\o/* Thank you for checking in!

[firstfairytale]

Checking in!

Still looking for a title and ready to struggle with my old enemy, the right AO3 tags. But other than that, I'm ready to go :)

[iddybangmod]

Congrats on being done! May you be id-spired with the perfect title and tags *\o/*

[kalloway]

I've gotten in over my head with other projects, unfortunately. I'm going to save myself a bit of stress and drop. There's always next year. ^_^

[iddybangmod]

Thank you for coming along for the ride this far! If you decide to finish your fic after all, feel free to post it to the IIBB 2024 collection. Take care and we hope to see you next year *\o/*

[goldenteaset]

My fic is finished! 8.3k words, which might grow or shrink in the editing, but hopefully not by too much. I unfortunately missed the last two Iddy Chats to get to this point, but I’ll get to leisurely catch up now. =v=

[iddybangmod]

Woohoo, well done on 8.3k! May you be id-spired for the editing. The Iddy Talk bar is open 24/7/365 so come on down *\o/* Thank you for checking in.

[desertvixen]

It's going well, and I'll be finishing on my train ride! I am excited.

[iddybangmod]

You got this *\o/* Mods are cheering you on the rest of the way! Thank you for checking in.

[merryghoul]

Finally getting somewhere.

[iddybangmod]

There's still time and you've got this! *\o/* Mods are cheering you on!

[gloriousgoblinqueen]

😔 I feel like I still have so much to cover! The awful heat and humidity, then a small life change kinda disrupted my writing flow, and I'm only just now really getting back into it.

[iddybangmod]

There's still a little time! Write like the wind, and mods are cheering you on *\o/* (psst: if a later posting date would help, let us know?) Thank you for checking in.

[luminist]

Checking in! All my major editing is done; I just need to do one last readthrough and I should be done on schedule.

[iddybangmod]

Well done on being (almost) done! We'll see you at the finish line *\o/*

[elidelio]

I think this meme i found on reddit perfectly encapsulates where I'm at currently.

I'm going to see how much I can wrangle by the weekend drop rate, at this point I'm moderately confident I can finish up and cordon off the initial section into an appropriately sized chunk and leave the spiralling mess rest for a later date and make it a series or something xd

[iddybangmod]

The id wants what it wants, and sometimes what the id wants is another 40K words of story /o\ We're thrilled you've been so inspired! Cordoning off an appropriately sized chunk for IIBB-posting sounds like a plan.

[taichara]

Draft finished, just need a bit of cleanup --

[iddybangmod]

Well done on the draft! May the id guide your editing pen *\o/*

isevsianne @ ao3

[isevsianne]

I'm done writing and slowly editing, although honestly there isn't a whole lot to edit, since I like what I've written so much.

Re: isevsianne @ ao3

[iddybangmod]

Three cheers for an idfic you love! May the rest of the (minimal) editing go well *\o/*

[hexmix]

making steady progress! if i can finish up this one chapter the rest'll be gravy B) (but uhhh...that being said, i could really probably do with a later posting date hahah ^^;;)

[iddybangmod]

Go go go, write like the wind *\o/* A later posting date will come your way!

[puppetmilk]

I’m still chugging along, albeit slowly! Editing will be a task.

Oct 12: Amnesty Date 2 would be great, if there are slots open for that!

[iddybangmod]

Writing sure can be uphill both ways in the snow sometimes, but you and your id have got this! Mods are cheering you on *\o/*

Sure, we'll put you down for Amnesty 2, and your "here's your posting date!" email will arrive sometime in the first week of October. Good luck and see you then!

[fleetsparrow]

Checking in. I am in no way prepared, but I'm hopeful???

I am, once again, begging myself to begin working on this fic more than one day before the due date. I'm getting ahead of myself by asking this of me *now* before I end up the day before the due date panicking. Will I learn? Magic 8-Ball says "Ask Again"

[iddybangmod]

There's still time! A little id every day goes a long way. Mods are cheering you on *\o/*

[jacquelee]

Put one more scene on my finished fic (basically a prequel to the main scene of the fic, a gangbang, so now I have both the gangbang and the planning out the gangbang) which brought it to 11k. Not sure whether it made the incest more or less explicit, lmao, but it sure tickled my very specific id more. That is id though, this fic is complete. I still wanna play more in this iddiverse I've made but I will do that in my own time.

So yes, finished and excited to post! This will be the most 'risky' and 'controversial' fic I've ever posted and I cannot wait for it, hehehe.

[iddybangmod]

That is id 🎊 Congrats on finishing and we're thrilled you like the fic so much! Wishing you many fun iddyventures in this iddiverse from here on out. Posting date will arrive in a few days at an email inbox near you - stay tuned *\o/*

[anysin]

I unfortunately have to drop out, I have been working on a story but it's not going to be presentable in time. Sorry about late comment!

[iddybangmod]

Thank you for letting us know! If you finish the idfic after all, feel free to post it to the IIBB 2024 collection. Take care, and we hope to see you again next year *\o/*

[straightforwardly]

Still working on it! I'm at about 8K. Real life is throwing some curveballs at the moment, but I'm going to try my best to get this done!

edit: oh, and I nearly forgot to mention: I believe I said I was going to write for Scum Villain when I signed up, but I ended up going for an original work instead.

[iddybangmod]

There's still time, you've got this *\o/* Write like the wind, go go go!

And totally fine! The id wants what it wants, and this year it wants an Original Work *\o/*

[brumeier]

Chapter four is finished, and chapter five will be a short one (hopefully) so I'm still feeling hopeful about getting this sucker done.

But if extensions are out there looking for homes, I'll happily take one just to be on the safe side.

[iddybangmod]

You've got this *\o/* Mods are cheering you on!

For the extension: sure! Would a date later in the posting week work (Sept 18-19, so approximately a week's extension), or would you like to try for an amnesty date (Sept 26 or Oct 12)? Let us know.

[evilinsanemonkey]

Alas, I must drop out of this round! Maybe next year!

[iddybangmod]

Thank you for letting us know! If you finish the idfic after all, feel free to post it to the IIBB 2024 collection. Take care, and we hope to see you again next year *\o/*
