The following isn't me granting that How The Monk Got His Habit is fanfiction, for the record. But hypothetically, if you or I were invited to host a Lockdown! Tweetalong; if we mentioned an idea we had for a Doctor Who story during the course of said Tweetalong; and if then next day we had written the idea out, and we posted it using the Tweetalong's hashtag… then I would very much say that it had a lot to do with Lockdown!.

That doesn't mean it would be "a Lockdown! story" in quite the same way as The Secret of Novice Hame, or that it should be covered on the Wiki. But it wouldn't occur to me to say that such a thing "had nothing to do with Lockdown!". Would you say that, I dunno, the fanmade DW2012 anniversary special from 2013 had "nothing to do with the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who"? And I suppose Gene Genius had "nothing to do" with the Seventh Doctor/Ace era of televised Doctor Who, I expect?

Again, this is just me taking issue with your persistent and, I think, wrongheaded use of the phrase "nothing to do with Lockdown!". We can have intellectual disagreement on whether it was a licensed part of Lockdown!, but arguing that it's got "nothing to do with Lockdown!" is just plain unworkable.
