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.
Mal: You were dead! Tracy: Hunh? Oh. Right. Suppose I was. Hey there, Zoe.

[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

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?

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

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
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?

I shouldn't answer that.

Because books.
mishacollins: @hils_k if you're still conscious by the second mention of robot heads, you haven't drunk enough.
I assume he's talking about Stonehenge Apocalypse. Heh.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Please tell me there aren't TWO movies out there that feature Misha ranting about robot heads.
As for Dean getting deported back to the physical world, was the knife he was waving around Ruby's? That might make a big difference from just a sting-y cold iron weapon, assuming its effects work on supernatural creatures other than demons.
