Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

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.

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

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

I shouldn't answer that.
