Weekly IRC chat time!

It's that time of the week again! And excitingly, today it falls on Fanfic Author Appreciation Day. Be sure to give your favourite fan-authors a pat on the back!

Come join us in the chat to give and receive sympathy about what happened in 1872 #2 this week, or discuss how your BB is going -- remember, the 80% drafts are due on September 28th. There is also still time left this weekend to submit a 250+ fic for Round 8 of the TRB, HEROIC!

Come chat about Steve and Tony with us, socialize, and have fun. And, as always, lurkers are welcome.

Next chat is planned for Saturday, August 29th. Don't forget that you can log into the irc channel at any point during the week. Normally, there will be other people around.

As a reminder we have a channel #cap-im-spoilers for conversations about new tv episodes, comic book issues and other spoilers. If no one is currently in there, just stop by the regular channel and let people know you want to talk about spoilers. :) To get to this channel use the same method you would for #cap-im but type #cap-im-spoilers instead; alternatively, once you are connected to IRC, type '/join #cap-im-spoilers' in the command line.

The #cap-im and #cap-im-spoilers IRC channels are on DALnet. If you’re using a regular irc client the server is irc.dal.net and the channel is #cap-im and/or #cap-im-spoilers. There are three different options below of web clients. If one doesn't work try a different one.

Got to https://kiwiirc.com/client. Type in the nickname you wish to use. The channel name is #cap-im or #cap-im-spoilers. There will be a little blue link that opens up the server and network info. Click on that and enter irc.dal.net as the server and 6667 as the port. Here is an example of what it looked like when I filled it out.

Teyke found yet another web client option if the two above aren't working. Go to http://www.wsirc.com/ and fill out the box to the right like Teyke's example below.


The http://www.dal.net/ web client sometimes doesn't working, but people still have used it successfully to join the the chat. Under Chat Now fill in your nickname, and #cap-im or #cap-im-spoilers.
