FAQ

What does "iddy" mean?

See the Fanlore entry for a definition. In brief, id fic and id art are works that resonate with you on a deep level. This feeling can't be denied or suppressed, even if the thing that really gets you going is also something you feel is morally wrong, ridiculous, or not in keeping with how you see yourself. A feminist may get off on women being degraded; a cat fancier may harbor a fondness for dogpeople AUs. The id wants what it wants, and this is an exchange for giving it what it wants.

Iddy creations do not need to be sexually explicit. Maybe your id is deeply invested in drinking tea while autumn rains fall, rescuing abandoned emu chicks, or surreptitiously holding hands. Works of all ratings are welcome in IPQ. However, regardless of what you plan to request or create, you must be 18 or older to participate.

How do I contact the mods if I have a question?
