Keep IRC off the damn list!  This is NOT an irc list, it is a fanfic list.

Wolf, I have a question for you then.  If this is a fanfic list, does
that mean that IRC created fanfics are acceptable?  I just posted one
recently.

The medium via which a fic is written matters not.  What we don't need 
here is a discussion of IRC.

There are better places.  Like IRC!
