I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

not just neglecting to offer Sam a brotherly beer, but deciding not to.

Coulda sworn Dean offered Sam a beer, and Sam waved it off.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I missed that whole thing. I could see Dean changing his mind about giving this guy who isn't his brother a beer.

Coulda sworn Dean offered Sam a beer, and Sam waved it off.

I just checked the DVR. Dean pulled out two beers, wordlessly offered one to Sam who waved it off, and Dean dropped it back into the cooler. I didn't notice any other signs of blocking the cooler away by stepping on it or otherwise. But Dean definitely extended the beer to Sam.

I just realized that "a dropout" is not in fact an lj username. They had seemed to be the recipient of a lot of fic, and wondered why they were so popular.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It wasn't until this round of Secret Angels that I realised aesc's AU masterpiece wasn't Below Skyscrapers For A Dropout. Oops.

I feel better, thanks for that.

How can a recipient drop out of receiving a finished fic? Are there lj users closing their accounts left and right?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think everyone is supposed to write too. So if you drop out of writing, you don't officially receive a story.

How can a recipient drop out of receiving a finished fic?

If a writer doesn't complete a fic for the exchange, a lot of comms are taking to dropping their name as a fic recipient.

Okay, now the "secret angels" part makes more sense.

Have you been reading the exchange this whole time and not knowing what was going on?
