☆★ 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 am not quite as far along as I was hoping to be by now, but still making progress! I'm planning to finish the first draft in the next couple of days, which will leave me most of next week for edits.

If it's not too much trouble, I would very much appreciate a posting date closer to the 18th than the 12th, please. (I also might end up requesting an extension, but I'm currently optimistic that I'll manage to catch up soon.)

[iddybangmod]

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

Sure, we'll put your name down for a later posting date!

I have a fic premise I'm dying to finish for a dating sim fandom, but I'm not that far along. I've got the setup and uh, one smut scene... I'll see where I'm at by the end of the weekend to determine if dropping will be necessary.👉👈

[iddybangmod]

There's still a little time! Mods are cheering you on *\o/* Let us know how it goes.

[lah_mrh]

I have a first draft, but it's going to need some editing. I'd appreciate a later posting date, if that's possible?

[iddybangmod]

Sure, we'll put your name down for a later posting date! May the id guide your editing pen *\o/*

[kanadka]

kanadka I'm still here!! One story completed! The other one is not yet done buuuuut I believe in myself and my id powers. Can I have an extra posting date? :D

[iddybangmod]

There's still time! Mods are cheering you on all the way, and go go go go go write like the wind *\o/*

Of course! Two posting dates coming soon to an inbox near you.

I've recently adopted a dog and have been focusing on getting him acclimated, so I haven't had as much time/energy to write (I've got one draft that's at 5k words but it's nowhere near finished or presentable, and I'm thinking of jumping to another idea). My day is looking pretty open tomorrow however, so I'm going to see what writing I can get done that day before deciding on if I want to drop out or not!

[iddybangmod]

Congrats on the new canine friend, and there's still a little time to get that idfic (whether the draft or the new idea) into shape! Let us know how it goes.

[juries]

Going well! Beta is looking at it now. :)

[iddybangmod]

Yay, congrats on another home run this year *\o/* May the beta go well, and we'll see you at the finish line!

[ladybrooke]

Hopefully not too late for check-in! I am also hopeful I will finish in time; I ended up scrapping things and now I have two almost but not quite complete stories instead of any completed stories.

[iddybangmod]

Slid in just in time! Mods are cheering you on to get one of those stories finished *\o/*

[firecat]

Sorry I’m late. Still on board, 1000+ words to go

[iddybangmod]

There's still time, write like the wind! Mods are cheering you on *\o/*

[rigormorphis]

I'm going to have to drop out again this year! Good luck to everyone else in the final stretch. ♥

[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/*

[anaraine]

Augh, sorry for not checking in last time - and I'm going to try for one of the extension dates! Probably the October one, if I'm being realistic; life has been unexpectedly busy.

[iddybangmod]

Glad you're still with us and still idding! Take care IRL.

Sure, we'll put you down for Amnesty 2 on Oct 12, and your "here's your posting date!" email will arrive sometime in the first week of October. Good luck and see you then!

[cerylid]

HI!
I'm not going to be finished in time for the main event, or for October, so I'll need to drop out.
Good luck to everyone else

[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/*

[jedibuttercup]

A little late checking in, sorry; I'm at 8,000 words, and pretty sure I'll be able to complete it on time. But if I could have a posting date on the 15th or later, that would really help. Thanks!

[iddybangmod]

15th or later it is! Write like the wind, and thank you for checking in *\o/*

[chibifukurou]

Still finishing up last bit. But expect to be finished by posting date
Love my kitteh but he was sick a huge chunk of the last week. He's back to causing chaos so hopefully things will smooth out.

[iddybangmod]

There's still time! Glad kitty is better now and wishing you all the writing mojo for the home stretch *\o/*

[bring_me_sugar]

A bit late, but mine's finished and at beta!

[iddybangmod]

Woohoo, congratulations on being done! May the beta go great, and we'll see you at the finish line *\o/*

[tamcranver]

Unfortunately, I need to drop out, but the bang gave me the motivation to at least start writing my iddy story again, so thank you!

[iddybangmod]

Thank you for letting us know! If you finish the idfic after all, feel free to post it to the 2024 AO3 collection. Take care now, and we hope to see you again next year *\o/*

[fanwritesquest]

Sorry for the late check-in! I'll also have to drop out this year... but hope to be back again next year!!

[iddybangmod]

Thank you for letting us know! If you decide to finish the fic after all, feel free to add it to the IIBB 2024 collection. Take care now!

[apachefirecat]

Not sure if I provided an Email address, or if it's too late, but if possible, I'd really prefer the latest date I can get. :) I'm at over 15k now, with only (I THINK, this story seems to be writing itself, as all the best do :)) one scene left to write, but the way work's been lately, I haven't been able to get back on it for over a week now... I WILL be getting it finished, I'm just not sure if I'll be able to get it completed in the next couple days or not... :(

[iddybangmod]

We gotchu! Just sent out posting dates and yours is at the end of posting week. Best of luck *\o/*
