The purpose of this page was originally to help new JABB members to learn about the people, places, and things of JABB's past.  (If you're new to JABB/Dyeland stories, going to the Andrew entry is probably the best place to start.)  But I suspect it's mostly used by yours truly to remember past events so I can write with as few continuity errors as possible. The entries give information that may be important as it relates to present or future issues. Numbers in parenthesis at the end of an entry denote content in which the subject is mentioned in passing, merely alluded to, or no story-related information is given. Complete references are not given for some entries as they are too numerous. Characters are listed alphabetically based on their first names*, except when discussed as an entire family (as with the Du Bois or Mason families). Another exception would be characters who always go by their titles a la Lady Beth or Sir Toby.  In those cases they are alphabetized based on the first letter of their title.

Originally, I had limited this Encyclopedia to only newsletter-based information.  However, several years ago, I decided to start including plot material from the Author's Cut stories.  I decided the best way to integrate that information was chronologically based on when it was written.  So if an AC story was written on March 18, 2008 then it will be mentioned between JABB 241 (sent March 9, 2008) and JABB 242 (sent March 22nd) even if the story itself was set in June 1999.  Or something like that...  As time wore on, I started slotting AC stories wherever it was most convenient and/or made the most sense.

As of 3-28-06, avatars of JABB members and their characters were added.  This just seems like a good way to give a personal touch without putting up real photographs which may not be wise.  Please don't imagine that Dyeland involves the live-action angels running about with cartoon characters a la Roger Rabbit.  Unless you like that sorta thing in which case... go right ahead.  ;-)  Otherwise, the Dyelanders are supposed to be flesh and blood.  I'd like to get back to this since it would be a nice way to keep myself straight on what various characters look like but I need to find a new avatar program.

Come 2020, this page is pretty massive.  After several years of glitches, it finally started doing really weird stuff that I couldn't figure out how to fix so I had to re-do the entire page which wasn't super fun... and it may not have been full-proof.  So if you notice anything glitchy, please contact me at jenni at onthisside.net, replacing the "at" with @, of course.  Thanks!

And now in 2022, I've decided to no longer note when someone/something is mentioned in an excerpt from a story.  Eventually, the entire story will be documented here so there's really no reason to make separate mentions for every excerpt.  Plus, this page has started glitching again and I don't see any reason to make it even longer for so little benefit.

In March 2024, whilst feeling a bit enraged by a particular author, I began adding pronouns to a bunch of the entries.  I focused only on characters in the Dyeland/Asteriana stories, skipping any real people (unless they appear in the stories a la Joshua and Co.) since I didn't want to be presumptuous in 1. assuming their pronouns and 2. assuming they would want their pronouns listed.  If you have an entry and would like your pronouns added, please contact me.  I also skipped over any characters other people introduced over the years that I don't honestly know much about and don't continue to write for.  This is an ongoing process as it's taking a bit of time.

In March 2025, I finally had to breakdown and split this into two parts because it had become impossible to update.  It'd just freeze up for several seconds repeatedly.  It's not ideal but everything else I tried failed. 

On Feb. 28^th, 2026, I finally accepted that I couldn’t keep going with the Encylo as I was due to constant freezing and bad formatting while updating… so I finally thought to switch to another program and voila! All better! At least as far as I can tell. Please let me know if you notice anything amiss.

Have fun!
Jenni

Jane Austen- Joins the list of celebrated authors to get the JABB treatment in N198.  I list ways Dyeland would be different is Miss Austen were writing it.  Fake me threatens to turn Andrew into her Mr. Darcy in N216.  LJA claims to see Mr. Darcy and Col. Brandon, two Austen characters, on her balcony in N241.  In a letter, found in N251, to my younger self, I imagine replacing Andrew with Mr. Darcy.  In N258, Nigel dresses as her beloved Mr. Darcy for Halloween.  In N362, LJA vowed to stay with Andrew even if she found the "living embodiment of one Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy."  N364 tells of how "dearest and loveliest," a phrase LJA uses for Andrew, was actually Darcyian in origin.  An old journal entry in N469 has me getting a bit angsty about Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth.  In N490, younger me considers whether or not Pride and Prejudice ruined me on men.  (N123)

Janice Freeman- (she/her/hers)  In N586, Janice is Joshua's supervisor when he works as a PPE extender at an NYC hospital.  When she learns that he's played Jesus and that his birthday is on Christmas, she insists that he take a couple of days off which prompts him to visit the Friends at their homes since they can't gather.  In N591, Janice crashes at her home after a shift.  Exhausted and lacking an appetite, she is thankfully joined by a very familiar intruder who she doesn't realize she invited into her home.

In N37 he held a contest for a temporary bodyguard for JD.  After an absence, Jarrod returns in N99.  Sends in a turkey joke for N179.  His appearance in a newsletter warrants four sips according to the N180 drinking game.  Helped me write his character for the Dyeland-set story in N197.  He shares some suicide prevention insights in CABB 3.  Sends a congratulations message to all of JABB for reaching N200.  He also contributed several items to the "200 Things I Have Learned from JABB" list found in N200.  Also organized a chat to gather items for that list.  He's mentioned in the JABB history test found in N500.  In N575, I recall the founding of JABB and my fellow co-founders: Audrey, Jarrod, and Barbara.

I was four.  :-)  Figures into the John's birthday trivia test in N347.  In N355, I write about how I used to watch Y & R with my mom though I have no early memories of Jason (kinda think it'd be freaky if I did...).  His stupidity regarding biology gets him a not so hot rating in my top ten in N361.  (N124)

JayJay- One of the Jabbins' male sextuplets. N59, 60.

Jayden- (he/him/his)  Joccy's first boyfriend.  In N559, we hear about him for the first time when he's more of a crush than anything serious for Joccy.  In "You'll Never Walk Alone," we learn more about their relationship... and how it came apart.  TL; DR: Jayden was a jerk and he cheated.

Jeff Adleson- (he/him/his)  A fellow staying at True Light, Jeff joins Arthur in taking part in a production of Jesus Christ Superstar that Andrew is directing in "The Carpenter."  Jeff plays the Apostle Philip.  In "The King," Tim, Tyson, and Jeff show Joshua and his parents a project they've been working on that will help families in the aftermath of disasters.  As with most of the rest of the JCS cast and crew, Jeff stays at Willowveil when Joshua returns for Christmas in N426.  In N430, on Valentine's Eve, Tim, Tyson, and Jeff celebrate the success and newly won financial backing for their crate-to-crib idea.  In N431, during his annual address, Andrew praises Jeff, Tim, and Tyson for the success of their crib project.  In "Shadowlands," we learn that Tim, Tyson, and Jeff are beginning a speaking tour to raise funds for their cradle project.  They consider backing out and staying home to be nearby after JenniAnn is shot but Monica convinces them to go.  In N452, Jeff participates in the Friends Christmas festivities, including a Bingo and poker tournament with the guys.  In N559, Jeff joins several of the male Friends in singing a song to honor John during the group's Christmas caroling party.  In "The Shepherd," Tyson, Jeff, and Tim are sent to Poland by Joshua to establish their emergency infant care project there.  They end up helping Ukranian refugees.  In N647, I explain a bit about how I chose his name for the Dyeland/Asteriana stories.  *Jeff

Jeff Cutler- (he/him/his)  John's character in Mother, Mother.  I review that movie in N20.  Receives a valentine from Doc/Karen in N131.  Is the giver of 11 golden sunsets and six black and red bears in N152.  Singled out as one of John's best characters in N156 which features a sonnet about his life.  Responds to Andrew's request for birthday gifts for John in N184 and jokes about Bill.  Liz and I both mention Jeff and the movie Mother, Mother in our Dye Day lists in N211.  I thank JD for various aspects I took from this performance in N238.  Jeff also inspires a couple of the songs included on my Dye Day playlist in that issue.  In celebration of Dye Day, N265 contains quiz questions and suggests songs related to Jeff.  He and his teddy bear get mentioned in N292.  In N320, Owen shares with Andrew about how seeing John as Jeff and later as Andrew in "The Violin Lesson," really helped him to find peace after he'd been ostracized for being gay.  N330 contains some information about the limited availability of Mother, Mother and a fundraising effort for the producer's new film.  In N332, I thanked John for playing him.  Jeff, being a teacher, figures into the education-themed quiz found in N334.  In N336, I wish I could tell my younger self that she'll cry each and every time she watches Mother, Mother after age 25.  I do...  Owen speaks of John's role as Jeff in N344.  Figures into the John's birthday test in N347.  In N355, I write about how much more meaningful this movie and John's performance as Jeff has become for me as I'm now the character's age.  N361 is dedicated to John's work in Mother, Mother.  In N369, I credit John's performance as Jeff as being why I developed a real person crush on John... not just on Andrew.  In N375, I share that I will *never* forget this film.  Inspires travel bingo item in N384.  N397 is dedicated to John for helping us realize the value of time, in part through this role.  In N403, I write about how Jeff's story embodies the necessity of hope.  Figures into the trivia games in N455.  Figures into a trope discussed in N481.  Inspires a scavenger hunt item in N482.  N489 is dedicated to John for being in Mother, Mother.  Inspires an item on N509's list of 55 lessons I've learned in thanks to John Dye.  N590 contains a link to a crossword featuring key words from John Dye's career.  Jeff is included.  N703 is dedicated to John Dye for his part in uplifting queer stories in Mother, Mother and TBAA.  N720 contains a guessing game in which you match earrings I made to characters John Dye played, Jeff included. (N16, 124) *Jeff

Jenna- (she/her/hers)  One of Andrew's and JenniAnn's great-grandchildren who appears at the end of "God in the Gloom."  It's unknown who her parents or grandparents are.  She comforts her mourning great-Gampa.  (N649)

Jenni- (she/her/hers)  Originally a co-president of JABB.  Now uses the title Co-Founder, Head Writer, and Web Mistress of the John/Andrew Bucket Brigade.  If there's a reference to "me" or "I" somewhere on JABB with no further explanation, that'd probly be me, Jenni.  Occasionally referred to as Jen (unfortunately some took to referring to Lady JenniAnn as such too so just look for context).  Not to be confused with Lady JenniAnn (LJA), my fictional counterpart.  Any stories or jokes containing references to just Jenni are more factually based than anything involving Lady JenniAnn.  That's not to say everything accounted about and by me is literally true, word for word.  But in essence it is.  Like, if Audrey and I are recalling JABB's origins, my recollections are truth while the setting may not be.  JABB 24 is a retelling of one of my dreams in which I meet Andrew. It then leads into N25's anniversary reminiscing.  Beginning in JABB 27 my interest in another actor became a running joke. (See the Victor entry for more info on this).  I'm also known for my ever-present resentment about the "Andrew on trial" non-episode (N27).  See N41 to get a really good idea of my part in JABB as told by Audrey. N42 made the Victor thing look completely innocent when I professed myself future wife of Tommy Ergo Life.  In N64 Audrey and I consider what we might have done with their lives with out JABB.  N67 shows how Audrey and I have altered how we write JABB in three years time.  I write an "Andrew on trial" story in N68 after stressing when my weatherman kept interrupting the original airing of "The Sign of the Dove."  A quiz to see whether readers are more like my co-president or myself is in N72.  An email history of JABB in N73 contains emails from me, Audrey, our fictional counterparts, and other characters.  My bout with the flu inspires an odd top ten in N77.  I write a ficlet based on "The Violin Lesson" in N85.  I wish JABB a birthday in N95.  Along with Audrey, I review my failed New Year's resolutions in N105.  Share my favorite Touched memory of Andrew in N106.  In N114 I write that N43 "makes me want to bang my head into a wall."  (It does!)  Co-wrote N117 with my Magic 8 Ball.  In N124 Audrey and I explained in 10 ways that we are not John Dye. In N128 I make some resolutions and Audrey resolves to keep me sane. In N129 I seem to be interviewing John Dye but things are not as they initially appear...  In N130 I submit several items to our "Forty One Reasons We Like John on His 41st Birthday" list.  I honor Erin for Past Assignments' Day in N133. Along with Audrey I lose JABB while gambling in N134/CABB 1.   Am revealed to be the counselor at JABB's Crisis Hot line in N135.  N136 contains my altered anthropology paper about Andrew's hair. In N138 Audrey and I go over some of the crazier things we allegedly did during JABB's run.  Audrey's tips, in N139, to her co-president successor contain many about working with me.  Re-introduce myself in N140.  While I use my fictional persona in N142, many of Audrey's recollections are of events she and I really experienced (dismay over Mr. Life and rushing to get newsletters out last minute, for example).  Answer questions about the newsletter in N147.  N148 contains my to-do list for before seeing Heart of the Beholder. Give the annual State of the Androolers in N157.  In an essay in N161 I recall TBAA and the lessons I took from watching the show, particularly Monica and Andrew's farewell.  In part 2 of that newsletter, I answer a question about how long I foresee JABB lasting.  I finally indulge my years long obsession and go to town with the "Andrew on trial" idea in N163 and write a lengthy double issue about it.  Review HOTB in option 1 of N166.  In a rare, *real* moment, I share my thoughts about and appreciation for JABB and its members in N168 on the occasion of JABB's 7th anniversary.  While Lady JenniAnn leaves Andrew and Dyeland in N169, the real me explains what exactly my three month hiatus means for JABB in that issue. My (made-up) friend, Colleen, sends a rap song/poem I wrote in N170.  I talk my sister into writing N172 in my stead.  My dog, Josh, also weighs in about me in that issue. I come out of hiatus mode in N174 to celebrate the occasion of Audrey's wedding and give the happy couple a proper Irish toast!  My pre-written JABB site tutorial appears in N176 in which I state my plans to return from hiatus and thank those who sent JABB during my break.  Share my favorite memories of Charles Rocket in Dumb and Dumber, Hocus Pocus, and TBAA in CABB 2.  Also author of a prayer at the bottom of that page.  I return from hiatus and post a blog about it in N177 Opt 2.  Signs I'm getting desperate for JABB fodder and too reliant on the winter 2005 movie season are found in N179.  Audrey teasing me in a newsletter about my mental status nets three sips according to the N180 drinking game I wrote.  My getting a new co-president earns a player four sips in the game.  I get all schmaltzy and gooey (but honest) in my message at the end of N181.  Wrote a ficlet inspired by my initial reactions to "TOTGA" in N182Opt2.  I give another State of the Androolers Address in N185.  I give smart aleck answers to various questions in N190opt1.  I interview my supposed new co-president in N191.  I'm horrified when she sees a picture of Andrew and cries "Dada!"  N193 introduces a recurring feature called "Jenni and Jenni Write JABB" in which I respond to my own old journal entries.  In N196, I announce the formation of the JABB Sisterhood which was composed of myself, Jess, Karen, and Liz.  (The JABB Sisterhood idea was abandoned in January of 2007 in favor of a more inclusive idea.)  I answer some genuine and some not-so-genuine stupid questions in N196opt1.  I once again share some of my actual journal entries from during TBAA's 4th season in N199.  I share my memories of Charles Rocket's career and some suicide prevention resources in CABB 3.  Sends a congratulations message to all of JABB for reaching N200.  I also contributed several items to the "200 Things I Have Learned from JABB" list found in N200 and others even contributed a handful about me.  Wow.  My pondering my ability to prevent Andrew from leaving the field in the last episode of TBAA (supposing we existed in the same dimension) prompts the story found in N201Opt1.  I tell why I was so set on celebrating Andrew's birthday in N201Opt3.  I claim to see Andrew in every episode of The Office in N202.  A couple items in the list found in N205 revolve around various untrue things about me (or rather not about me!)  I list some favorite John Dye memories and lessons I've learned from him and his characters in N211.  N213 is another edition of "Jenni and Jenni Write JABB."  I poke fun at my unused Theology degree in N215.  In 2007's April Fool's issue (N216), Andrew takes control of JABB away from me after I start tormenting he and Lady JenniAnn.  This story is a joke and not part of Dyeland's "official" story.  For lack of anything better to do and with limited time, I interview myself about JABB in N222.  My real-life spam woes become the basis for a short Dyeland story in N223.  I share my feelings about JABB reaching its 9th anniversary in N224.  Because I was completely swamped with house stuff when N225 was due, Yvette covers the issue.  I'm told to die by a virtual Magic 8 Ball in N230.  In N232, inspired by (and trying to cope with) the WGA strike I wrote a top ten about what it would be like if I went on strike against JABB.  In N237, I struggle to pretend like I'm a WGA member on strike and write a pretty rambling bit about AODs and clubhouses...  I also give an updated onthisside.net tutorial in the same issue.  Along with three others, I wrote an open letter to John Dye on his birthday in N238.  I also wrote a Dye Day playlist in that issue.  I give the reality based "State of the Androolers Address" in N240.  I do another "Jenni and Jenni Write JABB" for N244.  When a member's facing time without JABB, I suggest using a plush frog or heartsick Barbie doll as a representative of myself in N245.  The same newsletter also features a list of my 8 top phrases.  I offer up a few JABB disclaimers and want ads in N246.  I offer up a few random thoughts about Andrew in N248.  My city's brushes with severe weather inspire the second half of N250.  In N251, I write a letter to my 15 year old self who had just helped start JABB, a list of JABB accomplishments, and a prayer.  In CABB 8, I share the lil ways Charles Rocket continues to bring me laughter and happiness.  N254Opt1 features my account of going 6 days without any Andrew influences!  In it I also consider how integral JABB has become to my life, for better and for worse.  I do some Andrewiffic stream of consciousness writing in N261.  With N264, I finally finished a story I'd been working on since 2006!  I supplied the answers for the Wells family, Mick and Beth, and Josef for their interviews in N266.  I give my annual State of the Androolers Address in N267, that time highlighting our DVD campaign and web site additions.  A fictionalized but non-LJA version of myself joins a fictionalized Nicole in confronting a rather rude Magic 8 Ball in N276.  I do some number crunching and write an open letter in celebration of JABB's anniversary in N278.  I do some therapeutic writing in "The Scientist", confronting eating disorders which is something I've long wished TBAA had gotten around to.  In CABB 10, I post a couple photos I took shortly after learning about Charles Rocket's passing and explain how they inspired me.  In N281, I introduce the JABB Squad in hopes of getting help with keeping JABB going.  I also offer up some ideas for Andrewiffic daydreaming.  In N283, I share why I'm excited about Hallmark re-airing S5.  I wrote "Shifting Focus" to cope with my anger when Hallmark stopped airing TBAA for a time.  In N284, I respond to excerpts from the journal I kept during S9 of TBAA and the days after it aired.  I introduce my story, "In the House of the Lord," about Andrew living among his homeless assignments in N286.  And I thank God for His inspiration for the story in N287.  I list some of my TBAA/JABB related New Year's resolutions in N290.  In N291, I list off some jobs I just couldn't bring myself to give Andrew whilst writing for him.  In N292, Nicole, Yvette, and I came up with a list of things we wish we could say to JD characters.  In N294, I redub my annual address the "State of the JABBers Address" and proceed to go through JABB's highlights for the year.  In N296, I recount the origins of "Ask a Stupid Question, Get a Stupid Answer."  Along with Rebecca, I share what I'd say to Andrew at the end of the TBAA finale in N298.  I helped compile the list of 300 JABB memories and wrote the members a note in N300.  I wrote most of N302 while in an airport returning from a family vacation.  First time for that!  I should try to write JABB in a buncha weird places.  Wrote the group a message in N304 in honor of its 12th anniversary.  In N305, I use a few online apps to analyze how well I write Andrew and the results are... not well!  ;-)  I share some recollections of Charles Rocket's work and lessons I took from it in CABB 12.  By N310 I was just really fed up with the whole shipperism thing so the story there kinda deals with how such a view may make Andrew and his Dyelander friends feel.  In CABB 13, I recall the unfortunate origins of "Ask a Stupid Question, Get a Stupid Answer."  In N311, I write about how much TBAA and, particularly, Andrew mean to me and how they've helped me with grief.  In N312, I come up with AOD-approved Halloween costumes and also some costume ideas for the lovely Andrew.  In N314, I join Rebecca in celebrating a belated Thanksgiving by telling why we're grateful to JD, TBAA, and JABB.  In N318, I joined other JABBers in sharing what I am most grateful to John for including: many friendships, assertiveness, creative inspiration, Andrew, and even my sanity.  "On This Side" is a story, password protected on the Author's Cut, that I wrote to help find peace with John's death and, hopefully, help other JABBers, too.  In N319, I shared three stories about times in my life when John's work, as Virgil and Andrew especially, helped me cope.  In N320, I shared about how the Valentine's story therein would be a tribute to John and also announced our collection drive for the homeless.  I contribute to N323's list of ways Andrew would further show off his adorable, gentlemanly behavior beyond what TBAA showed us.  My right and left brain conspire in N324.  In my intro to N325, I mention struggling some with writing newsletters following John's death but firmly believing we'll find our way through.  In N326, I vaguely and briefly explain my plans on how to deal with the issue of Andrew's aging.  I answer a couple questions about Dyeland in N327's "Ask a JABBer."  In N329, I summarized what I'd like to think became of Doc Hock following the events depicted in Tour's final episode.  I got a lil personal with the final item in the list from N330...  In N332, I say a bit about how JABB came into being and share my experiences over 13 years with the group.  I also join Cindy and Rebecca in recalling how I came to be a fan of John's.  N333 begins with my lil sob story about my computer crashing.  Thus, it's the first one written on my new laptop.  In CABB 14, I write about watching "The Sign of the Dove" and the lessons Charles Rocket and John Dye taught me through it.  In N336, I share some things related to John and JABB that I wish I could tell my younger self.  I wrote "In the Palm of His Hand" as an attempt to process my own recollections of 9/11 as we commemorated the 10th anniversary.  My younger self returns in N338 with "A Song for Season 8" which I'd written years back.  I share a handful of reasons for being grateful for Adam in CABB 15.  In N339, after announcing that Pay It Forward in Memory of John Dye had went live, I thanked JABB for giving me the skills I needed to be involved with that.  In N341, I share some of my favorite holiday memories from during JABB's 13 years of celebrating.  My caffeine addiction inspires part of N343.  In December 2011, I finally finished a sort of "therapy story": "The Altar".  My intro to N344 expresses a lil of what I was feeling going into our first Christmas with John being Home.  I got a bit emotional with N345 which marked the "last of the firsts" as a year before I'd written the last "normal JABB" only to be helping with John's memorial tribute shortly thereafter.  After an unplanned hiatus, I finally got my essay answers written for N347.  In N349, I sent off the last of my TBAA season poems.  In N350, I give the State of the JABBers Address for 2012 in which I write about how we've found hope, faith, and joy even in a year that brought so much sadness.  Insomniac me writes a Promotion Day story in N353.  I get psyched about TBAA's S5 DVD release being on my birthday in N354.  In N355, I shared my "new eyes" experiences with John's work.  Those are the occasions during which I formed a new appreciation for a project of John's despite having seen it before.  In N359, I made suggestions on 14 ways to celebrate JABB's anniversary.  In N360, I wrote a reflection for JABB on the occasion of its 14th anniversary.  In N361, I celebrated my 30th birthday by sharing 30 things I learned from John and JABB.  I start off N362 with my litany of unfortunate events that occurred as I tried to write it.  In JABB 363/CABB 16, I wrote about how John's and Charles' work as Andrew and Adam has touched me.  I penned "An Ode to the AODs" in CABB 17/ JABB 366.  It references how I found TBAA and, natch, the AODs.  In N369, I share reasons I'm thankful that I'm a fan of John's.  In N373, Rebecca and I share our memories of first seeing "The One That Got Away."  I also share my JABB-related resolutions for 2013.  I opened N374 with a sort of dedication to Ann Landers and Dear Abby and the columnists' influence on my life and JABB.  In N375, as we celebrated John's 50th, I shared some of the many things I'll never forget about him.  As per tradition, I gave the State of the JABBers' Address in N377.  In N378, I report on helping Cindy move PIF to its new home online thus making the JABB newsletter a bit rushed.  In N380, I talked a bit about my insomnia.  Fun!  In N381, I returned to "Jenni and Jenni Write JABB."  That time around, I looked back on the days following TBAA's finale.  I finally gave myself some Beauty and the Beast closure in "Song of Songs."  :-)  And I ramble about using elements of the Beauty and the Beast fairy tale in In a flash forward in "Possibilities."  In N388, I shared my fifteen favorite JABB memories in celebration of the anniversary.  In N389, I shared things I wish I could have said to Andrew during Season 8.  In N391/CABB 18, I shared reasons that I'm so glad Charles Rocket was born.  In my author's note in "The Coffee Summit", I explain how my feelings about Monica changed during TBAA's run.  In N398, I fess up to my frenetic writing style with 3-4 stories in the works at one time.  Eeek.  In N399, I list some of my favorite things including: coffee, crafting, in-depth discussions with friends and more.  In N402, I shared my goals for JABB in 2014.  Let's see how many I actually accomplish!  In N403, I celebrated John Dye's birthday by listing things I've learned from him and his work about stories.  I quite happily gave my 2014 State of the JABBers Address in N405.  In N410, I shared lessons from TBAA that I'd like to teach to the kids in my life.  In N411, I shared my top ten most influential TBAA episodes.  I did a shameless plug for my personal site in N416.  For TBAA's 20th birthday in N420, I wrote a list of 20 lessons I took from the show.  In N423, I presented 17 things I was grateful for because JABB wouldn't be the same without them.  If I give an excuse about the quality/length/etc. of a newsletter, you gets two sips per N425's drinking game!  I shared some of my JABB-themed New Year's resolutions in N427.  In N428, I finally got back to "Jenni and Jenni Write JABB" and checked in with my younger self as she coped in a post-TBAA world.  In N429, I wrote an open letter to JABBers in celebration of John's 52nd birthday.  I delivered the State of the JABBers Address in N431.  Among the highlights I covered was the web site getting remodeled and the abundance of creative writing that went on.  In N434, I wrote a top ten about how much I need to get back to watching TBAA.  I do!  I also answered some questions from Kim and others about JABB.  In N437, I again took to my old journal and shared entries from the Rise of the Andrew Door.  In N438, I bid good bye to Serendipity, my first-ever laptop.  In N439, I introduce my new laptop: Willowveil.  I address some stupid questions posed by spammers in N440.  In N441, I looked back on my 17 favorite memories from JABB's 17th year including lots of writing, reading, and pecking away at those darn THC snaps!  I answered a couple "Ask a JABB Co-Founder" questions in N442.  In N446, I once again turned to my old journals to discover what ways I was swooning over Andrew in October 2003.  I wrote some commentary for "Triad" in JABB 447/CABB 23.  I imagine some conversations that might happen with network PTB if I ran a Dyeland TV show in N449.  In N450, I listed some reasons that I'm grateful for JABB.  I gave the 2016 State of the JABBers Address in N454.  I once again co-wrote an issue with my younger self in N458.  In N464, I answered questions about the Dyeland stories.  I offered some reflections on the occasion of JABB's 18th anniversary in N467.  In N469, I return to October 2003 and offer glimpses

with a Dyeland Writer.  In N530, I listed reasons I'm thankful for JABB and related.  I offer some closing thoughts/explanations at the end of "Broken Hallelujahs."  In "Remembrance," my real-life visit to the U.S. Holocaust Museum in D.C. informs Joshua's and JenniAnn's time there.  In N535, I listed off some of my goals for JABB in 2019.  In N536, I reflected on how the newsletters dedicated to commemorating John Dye's birthday can be difficult to write now.  I did a round of "Ask a JABB Co-Founder" in N540.  In N542, I shared an update about some Dyeland stories and asked readers a few questions.  N545 opens with a note from me about various personal matters going on in my life and how that may impact newsletters.  I also "dissected" a Dyeland story scene and explained why I wrote it as I did.  In N548, I share 21 fun facts about JABB in honor of its anniversary.  In N551, I shared some thoughts about writing Salma's and Zelda's rescue scene in "Chrysalis."  N552 features a

young.  In N598, I begin a look back at my favorite Dyeland story moments.  In N602, I gave an update on JABB and my plans for it on the occasion of its 23rd anniversary.  In N603, I introduce a new feature called "Answering the Unanswerable" in which I pose theories on undecided questions.  First up: If God knows everything, why does He send Andrew on assignments where the outcome is unknown to Andrew?  In N604, I answered some questions about Dyeland stories and JABB in general as well as misconceptions readers may have about me.  In N610, I answer some questions involving my love of Mike

Wade was overturned.  I wrote some pretty lengthy author's notes at the end of "The Lost Sheep."  In N630, I do some decompressing after writing two lengthy stories.  In N631, I provided a health update re: my epilepsy and how that impacts JABB.  N632 brought another health update.  Ugh.  I also answered some story questions.  In N634, I shared another life update, that time about my dog, Danika, who was in her last days at the time.  N635 brings yet another life update impacting JABB plans... 2022 was maybe not my year!  In N640, I provide a quick overview of my plans for JABB in 2023.  N641 contains a personal essay from yours truly about stuff I've been dealing with... namely related to mice and mental health.  In N642, I wrote a reflection in honor of John's 60th birthday in which I shared about his continued impact on my life.  N644 opened with an update on my health and how it's delayed "The Advocate."  And then in N645, I shared that I finally caught COVID but, thankfully, it was very mild.  Nonetheless, I ran a re-run.  In N646, I share some things I wish I could change about the Dyeland/Asteriana stories... or maybe not.  In N647, I gave an update on some issues with the web site which have since been resolved.  In N648, I give a brief update on the goings on in my life and discuss some writing issues I'm having.  In N653, I answered some basic questions about JABB in honor of our 25th anniversary.  I continued in N654.  In N655, I shared some photos of JABB's new home office after I fixed up my guest bedroom.  In N656, I mention some ongoing memory issues I've had whilst trying to write.  So if you see anything awry... it was a bad brain day.  In N659, I write a bit about what drew me to Andrew and why the story version of him differs from the TBAA one in key ways.  At the end of "The Advocate," I confess some writing sins.  In N663, I share my plans for the following few weeks of JABB... some of which didn't pan out.  In N666, I give an update on my thrilling battle with the flu... hence plans not working out.  N668 is the annual tribute to John Dye on his birthday.  I mused about his continued impact on my life.  In N670, I give an update on how various things in my life are impacting JABB and also explain about my type of epilepsy.  In N674, I checked in after tornadoes came through my neck of the woods.  N679 is a re-run that starts with me updating everyone about some storm and house related chaos.  It never ends!  In N680, I shared Twenty Six Things I'm Looking Forward to in JABB's Future in honor of its anniversary.  In N682, I realize my lifelong dream of doing the "Will You Buy Me Pads?" meme with Dyeland characters.  (I am only sort of kidding.)  In N688, I share my plans for JABB in the wake of the 2024 election.  In N689, I gave a photo tour of my home, highlighting elements that reference TBAA, my stories, etc.  In N692, I gave info on some of my plans for JABB in 2025.  In N693, I seek solace in some story tropes and confront the allegations against Neil Gaiman.  In N696, I shared the first chapter of an in-progress story, "The Prodigal," due to busyness and such.  In N697, I was once again pretty stressed so shared a re-run but also my hopes for what Andrew and JenniAnn did to mark his 25th anniversary in Dyeland/Asteriana.  Some of my favorite musical moments in the stories are shared in N698.  In N699, I shared some of my anxiety surrounding an office renovation and the next part of "The Prodigal."   In N704, I opened up about struggling to write "The Prodigal" with everything going on in the world.  In N705, I announced I was pausing "The Prodigal" in favor of another story due to some personal struggles.  N706 celebrates JABB's 26th anniversary with me looking back through the archives.  In N710, I provide an update on writing and just generally about life.  In the "Theotokos" portion of N717, I go off on a little tangent about Maryam and agency.  In N718, I share a couple Stranger Things finale-inspired top eleven lists that reveal my thoughts on that finale and the eventual Dyeland/Asteriana finale story.

JenniAnn Dwynwen Chandler (Lady/Princess)- (she/her/hers)  My fictional counterpart.  Shares my real "Jen" on occasion but usually goes by JenniAnn.  (Just a helpful hint, if you foresee having a fictional counterpart... give them a completely different name, will ya?)  Psyche to Vincent and some others from the Tunnels.  Whenever an issue is based in Dyeland or just completely made-up, she takes over for real me.  While technically still princess of Dyeland, she eventually relinquished the title out of respect for Andrew's presidency (N116).  She took up the title "Lady" instead but now, when it is used, it's mostly as a nickname since the meaning of the name Jennifer is sometimes given as "lady."   She sees to the construction and development of Dyeland.  She is the first to hear from Audrey of the location of John's hair (N2).  Her "daughter", AnnieDru has a large role in N11.  In N28 Kiwi kidnapped her, but of course John saved the day.  In N39 JenniAnn was very happy to see her friend Chiwawa be married, of course that was before she was taken hostage by Cliff.  N43 offered another scene in Dyeland's forests. This time a walk with Audrey, John, and V turns chaotic. In N46 she and Audrey remember High School and past JABBs while perusing items in Dyeland Castle's attic.  John and Victor, in N47, recount some of her strangest actions. In N48, Chiwawa auctions off some of her stuff and tries to have her committed.  In N49 she gets amnesia and can't remember JABB, Audrey, or..... John. In N51 and 53 she co-anchors the debates. In N55 she falls down the stairs prompting another bad Halloween for Andrew!  In N56 she's present for Andrew's election to president and worries that Tess is upset with her.  She unwittingly helps Kathleen crash the Dyeland Christmas party in N58.  In N63 she sees apparitions in Dyeland Castle. There's a top ten about she and Audrey's insanity in N64.  In the April Fool's issue (N66) she gets married.  In N68 she dreams Andrew is put on trial for murder and she and Audrey are "angelized" and unable to help him.  An email history of JABB in N73 contains emails from her covering various Dyeland happenings.  Shares a terrifying story for Halloween in N78.  In N79, she invites Adam to a meeting with Vincent and herself to try and find out what Andrew, John, and Audrey are plotting. Becomes five again in N80.  Sings on a CD in N81.  Dreams up a Christmas parody in N82 in which she also finds out there was never a plot against her.  Witnesses light bulb changing in N83.  Suggests a party as the proper way to deal with the sudden appearance of hobbits and elves in N86.  She and Audrey host a sleepover in N87 where she spends time worrying over Kiwi.

Meets Audrey for dinner at a pizza place in N89 on Earth and overhears a conversation between Adam and Charles Rocket. Plans a picnic in their honor.  Helps prepare for Andrew's party in N91 and mistakenly hugs Matt, Cliff and Daisy's son.  Several bad stories about her are mentioned in a list of ideas JABB never used in N92.  Stresses over JABB's downed web pages and learns about the reason behind their demise in N94.  Is unable to write N96 after she allegedly stalks Andrew on assignment. After getting a mysterious note, JenniAnn asks Jarrod to guard Andrew in N99.  Her reaction to the note is criticized in N100.  Accidentally describes a scene from "The Gift of the Magi" in N104 when telling about favorite Christmas memories.  Interviews Annie Dru about how people can cope once TBAA stops production in N106.  In N107, she and Audrey set Andrew up on a blind date.  In N111 and N112 she, with Audrey, acts as commentator during the two Dyeland Presidential debates. In N111 she is elated that Andrew plans to throw a ball. The candidates are questioned in the same issue about how they would deal with her mental instability, much to her chagrin. In N112 she throws journalistic impartiality out the window.   In N116 she totally forgets about JABB's anniversary and is more concerned about redoing Andrew's basement. This issue is also the first that addresses her by the title "lady" and mentions her move away from Dyeland City. Since then she moves from Dyeland City/Willowveil to her home in Serensylvana when moved to do so (aka when she goes insane and must distance herself from Andrew who also stays in Dyeland City.)  In N118 she and Audrey host a movie night and feel bad when Andrew is adversely affected by it. They argue over how to help Andrew.  In N120, she lends Andrew the book “Reviving Ophelia,” prompting him to have an epiphany. Naturally, she scribbled notes about him in it.  N123 reveals that she ran away from Dyeland twice. In that same issue she and others plan a Halloween celebration for Andrew that they hope won't offend him. Dressed as Lizzie Bennett at the party.  In N127 explains how Andrew's Christmas gift mysteriously appeared.  In N131 Lady JenniAnn sends Andrew a valentine. She also sends one to Todd, John's character in Campus Man.  Gives the State of the Androolers address in Andrew's stead in N132.  In N137 it is said she would go into hysterics if Andrew were arrested then break him out of jail.  In N139 she learns Audrey will need to leave Dyeland to protect John's hair.  In N142 she gushes over the friendships she's made on JABB and, naturally, over Andrew.  She admits to JC Amory about an ill-planed attempt to get Andrew to go to counseling with her.  N144 she wishes John would wear Renaissance garb in a film.  Andrew and Karen briefly discuss her in N145.  Madly plans Andrew's party in N146, later with Karen's help she tones it down.  Gives Andrew a scrapbook in the same issue.  Pops in briefly in N148 to defend herself against Narrator.  Throws a Halloween party, with Andrew's blessing, in N149, after making a heartfelt confession to him.  In N150, a Triple S involves Lady JenniAnn as an immortal fairy who has been enamored with Andrew since the days of Caesar.  Andrew also suggests having Colin Firth Day to distract her from her devotion to him in the same issue.  Shares the memory of her favorite Christmas in N153.  Watches the trailer for John's latest movie in N154 with Andrew and Jess, has a pretty animated reaction, and dubs Andrew a "dear old brick".  In N155 she confides to her diary about fantasizing about she and Andrew as couples from musicals and tries to bake treats for him with unfortunate results.  Recalls meeting Andrew for the first time in N159 which also features an Irish ballad she wrote for him (never imagining he'd actually hear it, of course!)  Gets caffeine-drunk with Monica in the foolish N160. She gives an interesting answer to the tax form's marital status question in option 2 of N161.  JenniAnn helps plan a "Commemoration of the Murder Trial that Wasn't" party in the story told in N163Opt1 and spends most of the trial... cleaning and cooking.  Busy cleaning in N164 so Andrew has to send it.  Discusses Heart of the Beholder and her worries stemming from it with Andrew in N166.  Has an apparent premonition about Andrew falling in N167 and is among those who go to try and rescue him.  Parts from Andrew (and Dyeland) for at least three months in N169 and leaves him with a special gift.  Andrew fills in for her in N171 which contains a tale recounting the time the Trading Spaces crew came to Dyeland and redid her room with... interesting results.  Her obsession with the "Andrew on trial" theme proves detrimental to Andrew's home according to Audrey's top ten in that issue.  Sends Andrew some new scrapbook pages for his birthday in N173.  Unexpectedly shows up at Audrey's wedding where she (what else?) gets swoony over Andrew. I admit to going as her one Halloween in CABB 2.  Returns to Dyeland (and her beloved "Skin Horse") after a months long break from it in N177 Opt 1.  Just in time for the "October Fun Festival."  Pities Henry in N178 and asks him out on an excruciatingly awkward first date.  Not surprisingly, spends Thanksgiving gazing dreamily at Andrew in N179.  In a top ten found in the same issue, she sings "Jackson" with Andrew who then serenades her with "It Ain't Me, Babe" but she doesn't react the way he'd like.  According to the N180 drinking game, if you're reading a JABB and she weds Andrew you're wasted!  Leads a song tribute to the life of a TBAA fan and creates a very interesting Christmas poster board slide show for Andrew in N181 a la Love Actually.  Slightly tipsy, she tries to get to Narnia via Andrew's wardrobe in N182Opt1.  In the same issue, she rings the cowbell during a performance of "Don't Fear the Reaper" with Jess and Margherita.  She and Adam help Andrew get to a surprise party in his honor in N182Opt2.  She also tells Adam something of her feelings about his role on TBAA in that issue.  Does and says all kinds of crazed stuff in N183 after mistaking a fanfic about Andrew using heroin for Andrew's actual blog.  Helps Andrew collect John's birthday gifts and gets a shock thanks to the menacing Manion in N184.  She tries to comfort Andrew (another Dyelander uninvited him from her wedding) with food, drink, and her typical sappiness in "The Uninvited Guest" (N185).  She also walks out on her bridesmaid duties in that story in order to try and convince Andrew to stop the wedding.  She supplies the newspaper article and thank you note that form the Past Assignments' Day segment of N187.  Margherita is confused when a subdued Lady JenniAnn informs her she is not JABB's author and, further, is Andrew's bodyguard in N188.  The second half of that issue reveals why she's behaving so strangely.  Someone asks when she and Andrew are going to marry in N190opt1.  In N190opt2, she writes Andrew a pretty sappy note on Promotion Day 2006 and sends him a bunch of treats.  Doles out aluminum awards she dubs Trialies to various angels and Dyelanders in N192.  She decides to direct a production of Arthur Miller's The Crucible in "For Thou Art with Me" (N194).  She ends up listening, with others Dyelanders, to Andrew's recollections of the New England witch hunts and has a heart-to-heart with Adam.  She gets the opportunity to interview the three AODs about their band in N195.  She nearly falls out of her chair when she learns Andrew can sing "A Stor Mo Chroi."  Tells about an embarrassing incident involving herself and Andrew at a Civil War re-enactment while waiting out a storm in N197.  Contributed items to the "200 Things I Have Learned from JABB" list found in N200 and others submit some list items about her.  Prompts drastic actions from her fellow Dyelanders when she believes Andrew is leaving Dyeland forever in N201Opt1.  Gives guidance on how to choose a birthday card and gift for Andrew's birthday in N201Opt2.  Has a breakdown later on in that issue and it is taken over by the Narrator but JenniAnn pulls herself together enough to extend birthday greetings to Andrew.  Lady JenniAnn dresses as Mimi from RENT for Halloween and spends much of the evening swooning over Andrew in N204.  A joke in the "Things that You'll Never Read in a JABB Newsletter" list in N205 revolves Andrew her begrudgingly going to bail Andrew out of jail.  She watches "The Journalist" with Andrew, Jess O., and Lady Beth in N206.  Her highlights from that include day-dreaming about sitting on Andrew's lap (yikes), getting very irritated with Monica in the episode, and just plain acting swoony.  The first to arrive at Andrew's house after a kitchen fire, she takes advantage of his temporary deafness to mimic Mary from It's a Wonderful Life in N208.  Shares her New Year's resolutions during her party in N209Opt1.  Her re-enacting the "In Your Eyes" scene from Say Anything for Andrew ranks as one of the "Top Ten Most Romantic Events to Happen in Dyeland" found in N212.  In  a letter I later entitled "How Vincent Met Psyche", Vincent tells Psyche/LJA about how he nearly adopted her and how they were reunited after he lost that chance when her birth parents were found.  After overthrowing Jenni, she tries to write N216 with Andrew but Andrew takes over when her writing proves too... flowery.  Is apparently on some personal errand in CABB 5.  In N219, Vincent writes an excuse note to get her out of writing the newsletter after she gets caught up preparing in case Andrew is ever falsely imprisoned again.  JenniAnn tries to go a whole day with out speaking of Andrew in N220.  In "Measuring a Life," Vincent dreams about what his life would have been like had he been born looking average.  He and his wife, Lisa, adopt JenniAnn but from there the alternate reality is pretty grim for her.  After some debate, JenniAnn returns to Dyeland to engage in the monthly Internet security check with Andrew as described in N223.  In N224, she recalls when Andrew tried to teach her how to drive.  Creates a "Things to Do During a Storm" list for N226.  Receives a very sarcastic JABBy in N229.  She attends Adam's birthday party in CABB 7, along with a handful of other Tunnel-dwellers.  In N230, I ask the 8 Ball if she'll marry Eliot.  Attends Willy's Halloween party dressed as Spring with Eliot going as Winter, Vincent as Autumn, and Catherine as Summer.  All of this can be found in Yvette's story in N231.  In N232, a horrible chain reaction begins when she goes on strike.  LJA says she's thankful for being able to divide her time between Dyeland and the Tunnels in N233.  In "Dream", she makes the startling discovery that Mick, the vampire found outside Willowveil, is her grandpa's much missed war buddy.  In "Great Spirit", she struggles with a disheartening email from someone who viewed a CABB site and is comforted by Adam.  As part of Dyeland's usual Christmas magic, she ends up mimicking an It's a Wonderful Life scene with Eliot in N235.  In "Unconditionally", she embraces Andrew after he's beat up by some homophobic zealots outside a funeral and, along with Mick, gets him back to Dyeland to cope with it all.  Attends Willy's and Yva's masquerade dressed as a hippie in "The Masquerade Ball and Other Events".  While interviewing many Dyelanders and friends about various types of love in N239, LJA is forced to confront some issues in her own love life.  In N241, LJA ODs on caffeine and calls Andrew at 3 AM believing the U.S. presidential candidates are dancing on her balcony.  In "Eight Years Later," LJA is astounded to learn that Andrew had kept a set of lyrics she'd written, declaring her love for him, for eight years.  A highly altered LJA appears in N243.  Later, she makes an impassioned mini-speech to Andrew.  "Dark Night of the Soul" tells of how, in 2002, she convinced Andrew to tell her about an assignment that was weighing heavily on him.  In N244, I rediscover a maudlin good bye letter she wrote to Andrew in 2002.  Tries to pawn off her bridal mags in N246.  Figures into my "Nor Iron Bars" recap also in N246.  In N247, she calls Mick in an absolute tizzy after receiving a virtual tabloid containing malicious stories about the Dyelanders.  Later she launches Andrew's belongings off a balcony (trust me, it makes sense.)  She finds her way into Yvette's "You know you're a JABBer if..." list in N251.  N252 lists being forced to listen to her shriek as punishment for hitting Andrew.  In "Make This Go On Forever," her fight with Andrew causes Josef to recall the events leading up to Sarah's failed turning.  LJA and the other Dyelanders help Josef care for Sarah in her final days.  She and her crazy-devoted, unrequited love for Andrew haunt my daydreams (as recounted in N254Opt1).  In N255, LJA assures Andrew that both God and the Dyelanders love him very, very much.  She calls Andrew, while grieving the death of her pet frog, in "Benediction" and is comforted by the angel.  She writes Adam a birthday note in CABB 9 and also appears, as an alternate, rather icy version of herself, in Yvette's story found in that issue.  When Andrew shows the Dyelanders his new mini-van in N257, LJA is the one that points out that it's big enough for many of his friends.  In N258, she's rescued by Andrew from confusion resulting from glimpsing a risque Halloween costume.  Later she attends the Dyeland Halloween party dressed as the Irish goddess, Etain.  She heads up the group who takes it upon themselves to help Andrew organize his closet in "Carry On."  She ends up discovering a box of the angel's wartime mementos.  According to N259, back in 2000 Princess JenniAnn was temporarily angry with Adam about ads attacking Andrew that she mistakenly thought he produced during the campaign for the presidency.  In N262, she comes up with the idea to document the Dyelanders' Christmas preparations for Andrew using the Andrewcam 2000.  She is among the Dyeland ladies who go along with Andrew to help him finish an emotional case involving a murdered young woman, as told in N264.  While dancing with Andrew, she explains to him why it's so important to the others and her to support gim.  In N266, right before starting her annual Valentine's interviews, LJA is called back to Nebraska to be with her dying aunt.  In N269, she's getting Andrew to perform made-up TBAA episodes (along with other Dyelanders) and pens an editorial for the local paper.  In N270, Eben makes it seem like Andrew is still upset about her seeming betrayal of Andrew the previous February.  In N271, she attends Good Friday Mass with Andrew then later freaks out when she thinks he violated her privacy.  In "Origins," it's her dream of Andrew on assignment that begins a path that leads to the discovery of Vincent's mother.  She and the other Dyelanders go on to befriend the woman, Cora.  In N273, LJA ever-so- dramatically takes care of an annoying telemarketer for Andrew.  In N274, I imagine that if Andrew were currently arrested LJA would need to be medicated.  Passes along some Facebook memes for Andrew to play with in N275.  She writes a review of Up in N277 after seeing it with Andrew.  In N279, she and Rose go to Andrew's house during a late night storm and hijinks and sappiness ensue.  In "The Scientist", JenniAnn is forced to confront her own past struggle with an eating disorder when one of her Tunnel students becomes anorexic.  Andrew comforting her after her pet frog's death inspires an item in Andrew's job description in N280.  Mentioned a handful of times in Yvette's "Finding Healing" in CABB 10.  Wrote Andrew a note for his birthday which can be found on N282.  She writes Adam a birthday note in CABB 11.  "Shifting Focus" finds JenniAnn is a tizzy when Hallmark stops airing TBAA and it's up to Andrew to calm her.  In N284, I briefly mention how on a couple points LJA and I are of the same mind.  Spends and enjoyable day with Andrew and Co. at a Ren Faire in N285 but later is spooked by a psychic.  In the story she also attends the Halloween party as Glinda from Wicked.  N286 finds JenniAnn largely an emotional yet somehow functional wreck when a homeless Andrew literally crashes into her during his assignment and she must contact the other Dyelanders to tell them what's going on.  In N287, after her reckless plot to see Andrew alone is foiled, Vincent escorts JenniAnn and Rose Above to comfort the angel.  Vincent makes her realize the extent of Andrew's love for them all and she ends up divulging a secret about Andrew that she's kept for over 20 years.  In N288, LJA writes Santa to request that he replenish Andrew's flannel shirt stock after she steals some.  In N289, LJA is her typical swoony self.  But beyond basking in Andrew's awesomeness, she also prepares for her parents' Christmas Eve visit to Dyeland.  Briefly mentioned in my 2010 resolutions found in N290.  In N293, she and Andrew interview their friends for Valentine's Day.  She discovers an initially devastating (to her) secret about Andrew.  Andrew spots her taking notes during his address found in N294.  JenniAnn mimicking Oprah draws an unexpected reaction in N295.  The first part of "The Butterfly" is about LJA confessing her disappointment in the hierarchy of the Catholic Church to Andrew and struggling for peace.  It's probly the longest exploration of the religious/spiritual component of her character.  In N296, she fills out the Dyeland Census and sneaks numerous references to much-adored Andrew in.  LJA joins Andrew in copious TV watching while he tries to prepare for an assignment in N297.  Some of the JABB memories I list in N300 involve LJA and she contributed some of her own, too.  In N302, I suggest that LJA would freak out over Andrew swimming with sharks and rays during a cruise.  The first part of the story in N303 takes place in little LJA's classroom and finds the child pondering how to help angels during the Gulf War (not as weird as it sounds!).  LJA does not appear in the Author's Cut story, "The Best Birthday Ever," but it reveals that in the not so distant future, she has a daughter.  In N307, LJA and several of the other Dyelanders go on a cruise.  She and the other ladies end up communicating about some tough times they've had together.  LJA acts as one of Raquel's bridesmaids during her shipboard wedding.  In N308, LJA and the other Dyelanders continue to enjoy their cruise.  LJA really lets Monica have it concerning her neglect of Andrew... who she also "tattoos" during the course of the story.  She writes Andrew a gushy birthday message in N309.  In N310, one of LJA's former classmates, Bennie, resurfaces, and enrages LJA when she refuses to recognize or accept Andrew as he really is.  In N313 ("Safe"), LJA receives a call from Andrew that troubles her and leads her and some of the other Dyelanders to travel to West Hollow, IA to support him as he helps the citizens cope with a series of rapes.  She and the other women wind up helping Andrew confront his fears for them.  In N316, LJA has a Christmas daydream in which she imagines a future with two children and Andrew, still the one she loves, being their surrogate uncle.  In "On This Side," LJA is overcome when she realizes that, without John Dye, she wouldn't have her friends and Andrew in her life.  Along with conducting the interviews alongside Andrew in N320, LJA is interviewed herself about how love is depicted in art.  In N322, she and the other Dyelanders attend Andrew's 11th anniversary party.  She helps the other girls present Andrew with a gift.  In N324, she morphs into Queen Tinkerbelle of Atlantis...  In N325, she learns from Andrew about why he so seldom wears shorts.  She becomes distressed at Andrew's Promotion Day party in N326 and he consoles her.  In N328, JenniAnn struggles with cutting Andrew's beloved hair when gum gets stuck in it.  JenniAnn tries to help Andrew comfort Shelby in N331 when the little girl becomes upset after hearing about the angel's assignment in Iraq.  In N336, I wish that I could tell my younger self to name this character something different... not my own name!  In "In the Palm of His Hand", JenniAnn is consoling a student during the 10th anniversary of 9/11 and, in the process, recalls a visit she had from Andrew in the wake of the attacks.  In N337, LJA becomes a bit fretful during Andrew's birthday party when she begins to think about his decision to age.  But a very special gift allays her fears.  Shares a couple of her reasons for being grateful for Adam in CABB 15.  Dressed as Jane Eyre on Halloween in N340, LJA frets about a dramatic turn in Andrew's life.  She figures into a few of my favorite JABB holiday memories as told in N341.  N343 finds she and Monica hypothetically concerned by Andrew's caffeine addiction to rival their own.  In "The Altar" (set in 2009 though written in 2011), JenniAnn has a breakdown in the hospital chapel following the violent attack on a homeless Andrew.  She offers 3 daffodils as her symbol to remember and honor John in N344.  In N348, LJA helps Andrew put together Mick's and Beth's wedding video.  Andrew counsels her when she frets some about their future.  In N350, LJA crashes one of Andrew's assignments... and she ain't alone.  Andrew works a reference to her impending 30th birthday into his Address in N351.  In "The Walk", LJA comforts Andrew after he finishes his final assignment with Monica, Tess, and Gloria.  Lucky girl gets to hear about Andrew's promotion to caseworker in N353.  In N356, LJA and Andrew get to discussing which fairy tale characters they relate to the most.  JenniAnn is quite surprised and later touched by Andrew's response.  In N358, LJA hosts the other ladies of Dyeland as they anxiously await Andrew's return from Syria.  Later, she sits with him as he talks about his assignment.  In N362, Andrew and LJA organize his collection of letters during a storm and recall events from his 12 years in Dyeland.  N364 has a bit about the origins of her nicknames/alternate names.  In Guess Who's Coming for Coffee?, LJA is distraught when she and Andrew tell her grandmother about his true identity and the elderly woman is none to kind to Andrew.  In "Abide With Me", JenniAnn is heartbroken when Andrew leaves Dyeland for several months after he and his assignment, Max, are taken as POWs in Afghanistan.  Every three weeks, she and Andrew have shared dreams that help them through their separation.  She, like all the others, tries to help him upon his return.  In N372, JenniAnn introduces Max to Christmas in Dyeland.  Later, she and Andrew jointly make a decision concerning the young man's welfare.  In N374, Andrew writes to Annie Dru about LJA's and Rose's penchant for cleaning for him and Max.  In "Rapprochment," Max and JenniAnn are going through photos of Andrew which leads to JenniAnn recalling a tense period during she and Andrew's friendship.  In N376, JenniAnn helps Andrew put together the annual Valentine's video for their friends.  The story therein largely covers the gang's Orlando trip and provides a glimpse of a big change coming to JenniAnn's life in 2014.  In N377, Andrew tells her of how grateful he is that she's been with him for all the Dyeland hellos and good byes over 13 years.  In N378, to celebrate the Dyelanders' 13th anniversary

Andrew and JenniAnn welcome the Easter sunrise together.  In "Asking the Answer," Joshua reiterates the "three week promise" granted to Andrew and LJA.  He also tells the angel a little more about the nature of the dreams he shared with JenniAnn while in Afghanistan.  In N383, I suggest lines both unlikely and likely to be spoken by JenniAnn in a hypothetical Dyeland finale.  In "Chava," JenniAnn befriends an elderly woman who she eventually learns survived the Holocaust.  Together with Andrew, JenniAnn listens to Chava's story.  As the story progresses, JenniAnn grows closer to Andrew and learns what it really means to trust in God.  In "Harry and Psyche," we learn that Max's and JenniAnn's first meeting wasn't really Thanksgiving 2012.  One day in 1998, Harry met Psyche...  This story also marks the first use of "Maja" as Max's nickname for JenniAnn.  "Song of Songs," largely set in 1987/88, tells of Psyche's re-entry into the Tunnel world.  The little girl is deeply troubled but what she views as a major problem in Catherine's and Vincent's relationship.  "Possibilities" tells the story of how JenniAnn introduced Andrew and Vincent to each other in Dyeland.  Later, in a flash forward, we see a much older JenniAnn facing a great trial... but still with Andrew and Vincent at her side.  Got a new scrapbook page in N385.  :-)  In that same issue, God tells JenniAnn to listen to Yakov.  And spills a lil bit about her future...  Apparently set Pandora up for Andrew per N386.  Nice of her.  ;-)  In N387, I mined a couple of LJA's thought processes in stories to explain my stances on some "angel rules."  Her and Andrew writing a newsletter was one of my favorite JABB memories as related in N388.  Most of "Ivy" is set in LJA's hometown and, in fact, her alma mater.  She returns there to help with an archiving project and winds up lending a hand, along with Kemara and Violeta, with the summer session Andrew is teaching there.  Their time with the students reveals the extent to which a young girl named Ivy is being bullied and not finding support and love at home.  LJA winds up reuniting with some old friends but also having to confront someone who betrayed both her and Andrew.  In N392, we learn about a class LJA co-teaches with Violeta in Dyeland.  In N393, LJA and Andrew share a chat the night before his birthday and reflect on a big change ahead.  Does some interior decorating in Dyeland per JABB 394/CABB 19.  She also writes Adam a note on the occasion of his birthday.  In "The Coffee Summit," Tess "kidnaps" LJA and drops her and Monica off at a Panera where they are told to discuss their issues with each other.  It comes out that LJA isn't as mad about Monica's treatment of Andrew and she is her treatment of... Joshua.  Inspires a few of the questions in N395.  In N396, LJA is spending the evening dancing with Andrew when they discover Shelby is spying on them.  It turns out she's working up the courage to ask to go trick-or-treating... which, of course, they do.  LJA dresses up as Prof. Trelawney.  In N397, LJA dreamily ponders Andrew for an hour as he studies Jesus Christ Superstar.  In N398, LJA thanks God for bringing Max back to her and allowing her and Andrew to grow closer and for her friends and family.  In N399, LJA lists caffeine and dancing and autumn winds and Andrew and more in her "favorite things" list.  In "The Truth," LJA helps Monica decide that she needs to tell Arthur the truth about what really happened the day they met and Monica was tempted.  Later, Andrew and LJA have a heart-to-heart about honesty in relationships before she gets him to rest.  In N400, it's shortly before Christmas and JenniAnn is mourning Chava.  Unbeknownst to her, God's assigned Andrew to help her through it.  She also connects the dots on what exactly Andrew's rose means.  Over the next couple of days, she's decidedly more festive as the gang celebrates Christmas.  In N401, LJA resolves to appreciate what she has more and not focus on what she doesn't have.  In "To Love Another Person," JenniAnn joins Andrew, Kemara, and several of the others in viewing the film version of Les Miserables.  She frets a little over the emotional nature of the film but, naturally, they all get through it.  She becomes a mom in N404.  :-)  The story there follows her and Andrew's first few days with Annabelle as she recovers from the drug addiction she was born with.  Lucky girl... blessed really... gets a lovely shout out from Andrew in his annual address in N405.  N406 jokes about Arthur and LJA getting jealous if Andrew were to serenade Monica.  In N407, I imagine LJA's reaction if Dyeland put on The Phantom of the Opera.  In N410, I suggest that parenthood may have LJA considering a nap to be the ideal birthday gift.  She apparently sets out Andrew's clothes these days per him in N413.  Surely not all the time!  In N414, JenniAnn completes a questionnaire about her life, interests, etc.  Her "discovery" of Dyeland is briefly discussed in N416 which also contains a description of her Androoler U class.  In "The Carpenter," LJA is the make-up artist for a production of Jesus Christ Superstar that Andrew directs.  She finds herself feeling a bundle of emotions when she meets Joshua, the all too realistic fellow playing Jesus.  Later, she supports Violeta's wish to invite Joshua to move in with them.  While she's testing his make-up for the Crucifixion, JenniAnn begins to realize just why she feels so strongly about Joshua.  In "The King," Joshua alleviates some of LJA's concerns about her relationship with Andrew and encourages her to invite the angel to stay at Willowveil so Belle can live with both parents.  She and Andrew proudly participate in Belle's baptism.  JenniAnn offers some work-related wisdom in N418.  As one would expect, she wrote Andrew a sappy birthday note in N419.  With Andrew and Belle, LJA sends Adam birthday wishes in JABB 421/CABB 21.  A couple LJA-related story elements make my list of creepy TBAA/Dyeland moments in N422.  In the same issue, she also figures into a couple reasons Andrew is reconsidering Halloween.  In "New Beginnings," JenniAnn is among those Kemara checks with before inviting Sean to Dyeland.  JenniAnn is encouraging of this decision.  "A Stor Mo Chroi" is set in two different years: 2014 and 2037.  JenniAnn figures into both parts.  In 2014, she and Andrew are present and have to help deal with the aftermath when Liam, a five-year-old boy who turns out to be Arthur's son, shows up.  In 2037, JenniAnn (with Andrew) is torn between doing what's best for Belle and wanting to intercede for her nephew, Liam, who is in love with her daughter.  In N424, Andrew and JenniAnn write Belle a thank you note for being their baby.  They, in turn, receive a thank you from some of the angels who they rendered aunts and uncles.  In N426, JenniAnn, along with Andrew, host Joshua, his family, and many of their JCS friends for Christmas.  In N427, JenniAnn shares her New Year's resolutions to not get overly involved in Max's and Rose's wedding plans and treasure Belle's milestones.  In N428, I recount a dream from 2003... two actually... that were kinda/maybe about Andrew and LJA.  In N430, Andrew and JenniAnn work on the annual Valentine's video.  They also marvel over all the positive changes in their lives: Belle, moving in together, Joshua...  In "Friend of My Soul," JenniAnn helps Andrew go through his closet prior to his complete move to Willowveil.  Wistful and amusing remembering ensues.  In "The Never-Ending Road," JenniAnn and Andrew host Kemara's parents at Willowveil for a few nights in the lead-up to Kemara's and Sean's wedding.  JenniAnn also participates in assorted pre-wedding activities like dress shopping.  In "Here is My Heart," JenniAnn does Kemara's and Ivy's make-up for the former's wedding.  The couple remembers her and Andrew with a toast since they share the anniversary.  In N431, during his State of the Dyelanders Address, Andrew happily mentions his and JenniAnn's blessing from Joshua.  In N432, I discuss the tropes found in Dyeland stories.  JenniAnn's relationship with Andrew is rife with them.  In N433, I shared bizarro (and thankfully rejected) Dyeland stories ideas.  Poor LJA ended up alternately dead and married to Eliot.  Per N435, JenniAnn has a field day recycling Belle's baby food jars.  In "Morning Has Broken," JenniAnn, Andrew, Belle, and Violeta meet Kemara and Sean at the airport after their return from their honeymoon.  JenniAnn is among those who are concerned when Kemara repeatedly experiences nausea.  In N436, Andrew takes dictation from Belle for LJA's Mother's Day card.  She also figures into his severe weather to-do list.  At the end of "The Story of Eilish/Elise," Andrew is taking Eilish to meet LJA and have some breakfast.  In N437, I wrote a bit about a Dyeland plot between Andrew and JenniAnn that I abandoned for being too dark.  JenniAnn returns to Omaha to celebrate Ivy's graduation in "A Graduation Surprise."  In "Glad Tidings, Part I," JenniAnn and Belle enjoy some time at the beach with Kemara and Joyce.  Later, JenniAnn and a few of the other ladies console Kemara when she and Sean learn that one of the twins likely has Down syndrome.  In N438, Kim asked about how Andrew and LJA keep Willowveil's stocked with food with all their visitors.  In "Shadowlands," JenniAnn is shot by the enraged husband of a Phoenix Inn client.  While her body hovers between life and death, JenniAnn's spirit is brought by Joshua to his island where she's counseled by Cora, Lor, Chava, Sophia, David, Jamey, and others.  When she awakes from her coma, JenniAnn must help Andrew prepare for his showdown with two demons in Sheol.  In N440, Max writes to the Angel of Angels because he feels some anxiety after seeing how Andrew suffered after JenniAnn was shot.  Her and Andrew's kiss made it onto my list of favorite memories from JABB's 17th year in N441.  In N442, JenniAnn is briefly discussed as I try to define anam caraism and, later, Andrew recalls meeting her.  Reviews Max's

been celebrating Halloween without her.  Interviewed Adam on his birthday in JABB 447/CABB 23.  In "Forever and Always," Emma and Peter take her photo with Andrew and Belle after they make the trek up Chimney Rock.  Sometime later, she assures Emma that she handles Belle post-seizure very, very well.  In N448, I listed spooky sources that inspired some bits of the Andrew/JenniAnn plot in Dyeland stories.  It also contains a vignette about the two coping in the aftermath of watching a scary movie.  At the start of "Glad Tidings, Part II," Sean and Kemara learn of LJA being shot.  Sometime

Andrew's and JenniAnn's TV viewing and him revisiting old assignments.  In the story excerpt in N611, Andrew's and JenniAnn's first night out since the pandemic started takes a scary turn.  In "A Thousand Years," Andrew and JenniAnn are attacked by demons a month before their blessing ceremony is scheduled.  JenniAnn struggles to support an injured Andrew while also dealing with her own trauma and shaken faith.  In N613, JenniAnn is still struggling with her anger and other emotions tied to the demonic attack and Andrew's resulting illness.  On Christmas Eve, she and Joshua have a heart-to-heart.  In N615, I share a potential plotline involving JenniAnn that I'd like to explore in 2022.  JenniAnn figures into several of the Four Loves tropes discussed in N616. In N617, due to the death of my pet mouse, Jackie, and some other conflicts, I re-ran scenes from a previous story about JenniAnn's mice.  In N618, Andrew and JenniAnn return to Dyeland following their blessing ceremony and spend a romantic night alone at Willowveil.  In N620, I discuss several random tropes including many that connect to JenniAnn, especially in her relationship with Andrew.  In N622, I answered some questions from Sierra for a story-based edition of "Ask a JABB Co-Founder" and considered how Avi and Belle might look back on Andrew and JenniAnn.  N623 contains volume one of my Dyeland story playlist. Unsurprisingly, a few songs relate to Andrew and JenniAnn's relationship.  In N626, in a Pride Month edition of "Ask a JABB Co-Founder," JenniAnn's identity as an asexual is discussed.  In N628, I listed forty things I've learned thanks to JABB and a couple are owing to JenniAnn.  In N629, I plug "The Shepherd" and mention Andrew and JenniAnn continuing to struggle in the aftermath of their demonic attack.  In "Liberty," JenniAnn asks Andrew a disturbing hypothetical question which leads to him recalling an assignment from the 50s involving a young girl dying from an illegal abortion.  In "The Shepherd," JenniAnn once again does Joshua's makeup for JCS along with Crowley's.  She also deals with lingering trauma from the demonic attack she and Andrew survived.  In "The Lost Sheep," JenniAnn is taken hostage by Ed and Steve... but they keep her content with Pop-Tarts, chocolate milk, and one heckuva love story so it's okay!  In N630, I mention how Andrew and JenniAnn being anam caras influenced my plans for Ed potentially becoming human.  In N632, I answered a question about how Ed's and Steve's relationship developed so much differently from Andrew's and JenniAnn's.  In N633, I describe Andrew's views on various spooky TV shows and movies... some of which he'll only watch with JenniAnn.  In N634, in an excerpt from "The Advocate," Andrew gives Ed a bit of history on his relationship with JenniAnn and some of the issues they faced.  Figures into a couple spooky tropes discussed in N635 and I discuss her and Andrew's Halloween costumes.  I share some of her holiday prep plans via a guessing game in N637.  In "Panic Day," Ed gets text messages from Aziraphale and JenniAnn who are worried Our Flag Means Death won't really get a second season.  In "The Promise," Steve tells Ed about attending a craft fair with Aziraphale and JenniAnn where he ordered a gift for him.  In N638, I share characters' favorite Christmas traditions which, for JenniAnn, includes baking cookies with her kids.  In N639, JenniAnn soothes some worries Ed has as he prepares to become human.  In N640, I suppose that Rose and Max probably watch House of the Dragon... but very much urge Andrew and JenniAnn not to!  In N642, I shared about how John Dye inspired every Dyeland story, even moments that Andrew wasn't involved in like Joshua and JenniAnn in Cora's kitchen.  I also cover some love-themed tropes, several of which involve Andrew.  In N643, JenniAnn has to explain to Andrew what DILF means when a photo of him lands on a "DILFs of New York" Instagram page.  In another story, the two babysit Anahera when Steve needs to go help an out-of-town Ed.  In N646, I share some things I wish I could change about the Dyeland/Asteriana stories, a couple of which involve JenniAnn's name and age. In N647, I completely forgot to explain the origins of her name but did touch on how she impacts some others names in the Dyeland/Asteriana stories.  In N649, I clarify Andrew's and JenniAnn's relationship and explain that only strangers refer to them as husband and wife at times.  They aren't married.  In N650, I explain the meaning behind her name... names really. In N651, I delve a bit more into asexuality for Pride month and discuss JenniAnn's asexuality and her relationship with Andrew.  JenniAnn comes up in numerous random tropes discussed in N652, many involving her relationship with Andrew.  In N654, I write about how long I see JABB going and mention that I plan to write well into the future since I may need to work things out via JenniAnn.  In N655, I consider where Andrew and JenniAnn would land on the whole Barbenheimer phenomenon.  I decided they likely saw only Barbie.  In N656, I give some details on how I think various characters dress, including JenniAnn.  In N659, I write a little about why the Andrew in the stories differs from the TBAA Andrew and JenniAnn is, of course, a big part of that.  She also figures into a couple of the favorite Andrew story scenes I mention.  In N660, in my intro, I briefly mention how "The Advocate" touches on how Andrew's life with JenniAnn and his kids has impacted his AOD work.  JenniAnn figures into a number of the spooky tropes discussed in N661.  In N662, I discuss the statuses of Andrew's and JenniAnn's children and also some theories about them.  In "The Advocate," Andrew and JenniAnn have a development in their relationship.  JenniAnn supports Andrew and continues to help out at St. G's during a tumultuous JCS run.  In N663, I share some upcoming story plans involving her.  In N664, I give updates on numerous characters including JenniAnn who is still teaching Below, helping Aziraphale with a support group, and now working with demons seeking redemption.  In N665, JenniAnn, Andrew, and their kids and grandkids spend a weekend at Allison's and Robert's to celebrate Christmas.  What's initially an awkward situation proves healing for Andrew and JenniAnn.  In N666, we get a glimpse of JenniAnn's demon redemption plot five years in.  In N667, I delve into how JenniAnn relates to various angels.  In the second vignette in N669, Jamie struggles some with seeing Andrew and JenniAnn together, living a life she and Gwen didn't have.  In their own vignette, Andrew makes good on JenniAnn's request for Jack and Jill sinks so they can have more time together in the mornings.  In N670, both Andrew and JenniAnn are invoked when I discuss whether or not angels can fall in love.  In N671, I discuss options for Andrew's future following her death.  Unsurprisingly, JenniAnn figures into many of the ideas.  In N674, unsurprisingly, she and Andrew come up a lot in my discussion of anam caras.  In N675, a sleepy JenniAnn comforts Andrew after an emotional assignment.  In N676, Andrew and JenniAnn are among the characters whose thoughts on Bridgerton I consider.  In N677, I write about how I wish I'd treated Andrew's perception of JenniAnn's asexuality a bit differently.  In N678, JenniAnn comforts Andrew after he returns from an assignment with a woman whose husband nearly beat her to death.  In N680, I share my hopes for JABB's future and JenniAnn-related plot ideas pop up a few times.  Mentioned on the first edition of the Dyelanders', Asterians', and Friends' Pet Inventory in N681.  She also offers a cleaning tip.  In N682, Crowley goes overboard when JenniAnn asks him to get her pads.  She figures into a number of random tropes covered in N683.  N684 contains a list of suggested birthday gifts from Dyeland/Asteriana characters to Andrew, JenniAnn included.  In N686, Andrew draws on his Halloween experiences with JenniAnn to answer a question from someone in a "mixed Halloween relationship."  In N687, with an assist from Avi, JenniAnn helps a disquieted Andrew.  In N688, Andrew attempts to comfort JenniAnn after the U.S. election.  In N690, I mention Andrew and JenniAnn figuring out how best to deal with introducing Avi to the wider worlds.  In N691, after a parenting discussion with Andrew, JenniAnn goes to check on Joshua and has a vision of a very different sort of life for him.  In N692, I write about looking forward to covering JenniAnn's work with regretful demons and Andrew's response to it.  In N693, I cover some themed tropes and, as per usual, JenniAnn figures into several.  In N695, Andrew and Belle have an important talk about purity culture and the former wishes JenniAnn was there.  In N697, I was pretty stressed so shared a re-run but also, very briefly, my hopes for what Andrew and JenniAnn did to mark his 25th anniversary in Dyeland/Asteriana.  Andrew figures into some of my favorite musical moments in the stories as shared in N698.  In N700, Andrew and JenniAnn weather a severe storm together with their kids and make plans for their future.  In N701, I did a Q and A and addressed one question about angel/human anam caras.  I cited Andrew and JenniAnn as a type of relationship unlikely to be replicated among the little Friends.  In N702, Andrew and JenniAnn share a night together after he has a trying assignment and she reveals she knows his approximate age.  In N703, I answer a question about whether asexuality is different between angels and humans and use Andrew and JenniAnn as my primary examples of each.   N704 is divided into two parts.  In the first, JenniAnn comes up in a quiz and in the second part she comforts Andrew after a traumatizing assignment.  In N705, JenniAnn comes up both in my discussion of politics in the stories as well as disabilities due to her epilepsy.  N706 contains a questionnaire I filled out for JenniAnn regarding the original and very much abandoned Dyeland stories finale.  It's not great!  There's also a character collage for her.  In "Shooting Star," JenniAnn drops everything to focus on helping Andrew after he becomes depressed.  The circumstances cause her to seek counsel from her cousins, Catherine and Vincent.  In N708, unsurprisingly, JenniAnn comes up frequently when Andrew does a check-in about his mental health and goings on with his family.  JenniAnn figures into three of the work-related tropes featured in N709.  In N710, I explain what exactly is going on when Andrew and JenniAnn "canoodle" along with a few other things about them.  N711 contains a brief write-up about how Andrew spent his "47th" birthday with JenniAnn, their kids, and friends.  N712 contains an Andrew-approved Halloween playlist.  Many of the songs have special meaning to him and JenniAnn.  N713 contains a story about Vincent contemplating the concerns he has regarding Andrew and JenniAnn over the course of two Halloweens.  Figures into a number of the relationship-themed tropes in N715.  In N716, JenniAnn shares her favorite Christmas book.  In "A Cry is Heard in Ramah," found in N717, Catherine and Vincent celebrate Christmas with Psyche and find some healing after the loss of their son, Jamey.  In "By the Light of the Christmas Tree," found in N717, a young Shelby is unwell prompting Andrew to bring dinner and a Christmas tree to her and JenniAnn.  The tree begins a tradition that continues to modern day.  Also in N717, Andrew put together a playlist to welcome 2026 with some tracks inspired by his anam cara.  In the "A Child is Born" portion of N717, Avi and Evie welcome their firstborn, a son, after the family experiences a devastating loss. JenniAnn is there to support the couple and is later comforted by Andrew and Catherine and the new baby.  In N718, she is mentioned in my Stranger Things finale-inspired top eleven lists that also touch on the eventual Dyeland/Asteriana finale story. In N721, JenniAnn runs a craft table at Ed’s and Steve’s ice cream and arts themed engagement party. In N721, Belle is upset about not being allowed to watch Bridgerton so her family members take turns watching variations of “Cinderella” with her, her mom included. Later, Belle quizzes Andrew about his and JenniAnn’s early days and future. In N722, JenniAnn comes up in a number of the discussions of fairy tale-themed tropes. Unsurprisingly, Andrew and JenniAnn net a lot of references in my Irish-influenced playlist in N723. In N725, we learn what JenniAnn’s most and least favorite cleaning tasks are. N726 contain a series of tributes to female characters and one is for JenniAnn. She’s part of the Mother’s Day word search in N727. (N176, 201Opt3, 210, 248, 261, 298, 409, 548, 582, 589, 689)  *JenniAnn  *LJA

Calls the JABB Crisis Hot line in N135.  Josh mentions him in N172.  In CABB 2, I recall Adam in "An Unexpected Snow" making me laugh when I was worried over my dad.  In N300, I recall his odd pronunciation of JABB.  N465 is dedicated to John Dye for giving me some fun times with my dad who enjoyed Best of the Best.  In N469, I'm dismayed when I come across an old journal reference to my Dad which doesn't fit with him now.  Funny and weird!

Jenni's Mom- Audrey's and my mothers took over N31 and had a discussion about Andrew/John's virtues. They marveled over how much their daughters can write about hair and hairless dogs.

In N27 she asked Androolers to send in their own versions of the Andrew on Trial story after I kept carrying on about it. She helped me figure out how to end the story recounted in N58. Helped write N86, was a major character in it, and tries to explain modern technology and conveniences to the hobbits. Thanked for her help with N157.  A TBAA drinking game on her website inspires the one I wrote for N180.  (N2, 7, 10, 33, 78)

Jennifer contributes ideas to all the newsletters in which her Countess Jennifer character appears.  Challenges us to work some interesting words into JABB in N113.  She suggested the costume Countess Jennifer wore in N204.  Submits Countess Jennifer's resolution in N209Opt1.  Thanked for responding to my/LJA's interview questions for Countess Jennifer in N239.  Made an addition to the census form in N263.  In N300, I recall writing the Dyeland Cookbook with her and others.  Helped with some info on C.J. for N313 ("Safe").  Jennifer came up with the basic ideas behind C.J.'s vision of the future for inclusion in N316's Christmas story, "To Be With You."  (N251)

Jess-  Jess has co-authored and contributed to several JABB Newsletters.  Most of these contributions involved her Dyeland character,  Jess O'Neill about whom you can read in the entry directly following this one.  Jess completes N146's scavenger hunt!  Good job!  Also, God bless her, the original official photographer of JABB.  She took several of the pics scattered around this page and others.  Thanks Jess!  Her real life family holiday traditions form Jess O'Neill's recollections in N153.  Jess helped me write N154 in which Jess O'Neill happens upon Andrew and JenniAnn watching the HOTB trailer.  Thanked for the pics in my State of the Androolers address in N157.  Inspires part of the story told in N159.  Jess helped write the story in N163Opt1 by coming up with Dyeland Jess' reaction.  I was lucky enough to have her join me as co-author again in N183.  I announce her membership in the former JABB Sisterhood (along with Karen, Liz, and myself) in N196.  Sends a congratulations message to all of JABB for reaching N200.  She suggested the costume Jess O'Neill wore in N204.  I recall using my old computer to edit the TBAA/JD snaps she took for the JABB pages in N210.  Jess' TBAA photos and her involvement in JABB 206 are fondly recalled by me in N251.  In N300, I recall writing a JABB newsletter with her and admiring her art.  In N589, I mention all the photos that Jess took for JABB.  (N176)

Jess O'Neill- Jess' Dyeland counterpart a la my Lady JenniAnn or Sara's Kiwi.  This Jess resides at Lazy Lake in Ilios, Dyeland.  In N137 she says she would protest if Andrew were arrested and chain herself to a fence until he was freed.  In N142 she is interviewed by JC Amory and recalls becoming an Andrew/John fan, joining JABB, and sharing cookies with Andrew at her home at Lazy Lake.  Is quoted in a newspaper article in N144.  N146 finds her attending Andrew's birthday party and giving him ginger ale.  Shares her family's holiday traditions in N153.  In N154 she happens upon Andrew and JenniAnn watching the HOTB trailer together and joins them.  The three share their reactions and then go to the Café.  Is among those Dyelanders who first met the real Andrew in Dyeland during a flashback to 2000 described in N159.  Jess helps plan a "Commemoration of the Murder Trial that Wasn't" party in the story told in N163Opt1.  Later she helps lead other Androolers in Andrew's defense and is scolded by Judge Bellamy for interrupting the trial with an outburst.  Leads FAN.  Her viewing of the HOTB trailer is alluded to again in option 2 of N166.  Learns of Andrew's temptation in N167 and leaves Dyeland with 8 others to go find and, hopefully, aid him.  Participates in a lil impromptu Andrew trivia and plays football with him in N177 Opt 1.  Is once again playing football with Andrew and Co. in N181 and present for the enthusiastic "La Vie 'Angel' Fan."  Shows up at Andrew's door and tries to get him to start a band with her and Margherita in N182Opt1.  Instead, Andrew gives her cappuccino.  Also in that issue, she plays the saxophone while JenniAnn rings the cowbell and Margherita sings "Don't Fear the Reaper."  Writes a thinly-veiled fanfic about herself, JenniAnn, and Andrew in N183 which she shares after happening upon JenniAnn and Andrew who had discovered "Go Ask Andrew."  She tries to get Andrew to attend Nadia's wedding as one of the Dyelanders' guests when his own invitation is withdrawn in "The Uninvited Guest" (N185).  Though Andrew didn't go along with that idea, he was more than willingly to accept her invitation to go fishing later in the story.  Claims to be both a JABB co-founder and Andrew's bodyguard in N188.  In N192, she receives a Trialie for leading FAN during Andrew's murder trial.  In N197, she tells about actually catching Andrew when the two went fishing.  Along with Lady JenniAnn, she attempts to tackle Andrew in N201Opt1.  Dresses as an Air Force colonel for Halloween according to the story found in N204.  She watches "The Journalist" with Andrew, Lady JenniAnn, and Lady Beth in N206.  Her highlights from that include teasing the former, serenading the others with the TBAA theme, and joining the other ladies in voicing dismay at Monica's seeming disregard for Andrew in that episode.  Finding her in a JABB newsletter gets ya two sips according to the drinking game in N207.  Attends Andrew's Christmas party in N208, bringing fresh fish from her lake with her.  Figures into my "Nor Iron Bars" recap in N246.  Jess' activities during the time Andrew was on trial for murder are recalled in N362.  In N514, in an excerpt from the abandoned Dyeland finale, Jess is among the Dyelanders who gather in Dyeland to bid Andrew farewell.  In N518, which is another excerpt from the old finale, Jess meets with Obadiah to discuss a time she and her family went camping with Abby and Andrew.  (N169, 485)

Jocasta- In “Chrysalis,” she's the head of the human trafficking ring that Joshua and Co. are trying to bring down.

Jocelyn Lowery- (she/her/hers)  Also known as Joccy, pronounced jah-see.  She's the eldest daughter of Jodi and Derek and a former babysitting charge of Emma's.  In The Carpenter," Emma frets over Jocelyn and her sister, Zoe.  Jodi had said that both girls were screwed up because of Emma's "affair" with Derek and this causes Emma much regret because she really loved the little girls she used to babysit.  In "The King," Joshua reveals his identity to Jocelyn and Zoe when he comes to their house after confronting Derek.  Jocelyn lets loose with her anger towards her father and reveals that she saw him inappropriately touch Emma.  Joshua assures Jocelyn that he's not angry at her.  She was far too young to be responsible for not stopping the abuse.  Joshua paves the way for Jocelyn, Jodi, and Zoe to move to Connecticut to make a fresh start with help from him.  In N426, Joccy's and Zoe's Christmastime visit to Emma and Peter gets even better when Joshua returns to Dyeland for Christmas.  The two girls become fast friends with Sy, Ivy, Violeta, Kendra, and Hailey.  In N430, the Wilson sisters, Violeta, Joccy, and Zoe have a sleepover party at Serendipity on Valentine's Eve.  In N431, Andrew tells the kids, Joccy among them, how proud they make the adults and God.  In N433,  I briefly write about how Joccy and Zoe came into the picture for me.  Joccy and Zoe celebrate Easter in Dyeland with Emma and the Friends in "Morning Has Broken."  In "A Graduation Surprise," Hailey shares that having a car to go back and forth from her college means she can pick Joccy and Zoe up for more frequent visits.  In "Shadowlands," Ivy hopes that Joccy and Zoe will still be able to visit Dyeland as planned, even after Nen and Tzila wreak havoc with the Friends.  Zoe and Joccy join the Friends during their vacation to North Carolina in "Hope and Healing."  In "Forever and Always," Emma reveals to Peter how Derek used her love for Joccy and Zoe to manipulate her.  The girls are elated when Emma and Peter tell them they've chosen a wedding date.  Later on, Joccy begins to fear that Peter will come between her and Emma but he puts this worry to rest.  In N452, Joccy and Zoe are brought to St. G's, from Connecticut, by Hailey to celebrate Christmas with the Friends.  Joccy is exhausted and out of sorts due to trouble at school.  After a small breakdown and counsel for Joshua, it's decided that Joccy will transfer to school Below.  Shares her New Year's resolution in N453.  Sorted into Hufflepuff House in N460.  Along with helping Vincent with classes Below, Joccy offers some babysitting to residents in the “Chrysalis.”  In "Broken Hallelujahs," Joccy helps watch the little ones while the older Friends discuss the trouble at St. Mary Magdalene's.  In the "Sacred" part of N537, Joshua thinks about Joccy who has a dark chapter of life coming...  The story excerpt in N549 mentions Takoda helping Joccy out with a St. Patrick's Day demonstration for the little Friends.  N558 provides a year-end update on Joccy and Zoe and many others.  In "The Messiah," we learn that Joccy has become good friends with Takoda.  She also spends time visiting Joshua after the shooting at the mosque.  In N559, Takoda seeks feedback on getting a Christmas gift for Joccy.  What he winds up purchasing honors her Algonquin heritage.  Figures into a trope in N572.  In "God in the Gloom," Joshua forewarns Andrew that Takoda will find it difficult to be separated from Joccy during COVID lockdown.  In N580, I tease a story about Joccy and Takoda going through some trials.  N583 contains an update about the Joccy and Takoda story I'd been working on... just need to proof it!  In N586, Joccy and Takoda enjoy a Christmas movie together and reunite with Joshua.  In "You'll Never Walk Alone," Joccy makes a devastating choice which forces her to reckon with the wounds of her past.  Thankfully, Takoda is there to help her through along with some new, old friends.  In "When the West Wind Moves," Andrew and JenniAnn discuss angel/human anam caras and express hope that things work out for Joccy and Takoda.  In "Flowers Never Bend," Joccy and Takoda distract Avi and Belle with a game while the others watch coverage of the U.S. Capitol being stormed.  In N587, I shared my 2020 JABB highlights.  Writing "You'll Never Walk Alone" is one.  In N592, after adding a slew of material to the web site, I did a Q and A with myself to process everything.  A couple of the items had to do with how the pandemic altered Joccy's big story.  Figures into a trope covered in N595.  In N596, Violeta's questions about angels and romance and sex lead JenniAnn to bring up other angel/human anam caras including Joccy and Takoda.  In N604, I mention how Joccy's experience with shame contributed to how Andrew and JenniAnn will handle the sex talk with their kids.  In N605, Joccy and Takoda gives JenniAnn encouragement as she prepares to begin a program helping troubled angels.  Mentioned in a spooky Dyeland trope discussed in N607.  She's among those welcoming Andrew and JenniAnn home after a demonic attack and attends JenniAnn's hen party in "A Thousand Years."   Figures into some of the Four Loves tropes discussed in N616.  In N618, Shelby and Violeta chat about Andrew's and JenniAnn's blessing ceremony and how Joccy and Takoda seemed to be taking notes.  In N628, I listed forty things I've learned thanks to JABB and one item was owing to Joccy and Takoda.  In "The Shepherd," Joccy takes on a chorus role during the 2022 JCS production at St. G's.  In "The Lost Sheep," Joccy and Takoda prevent Steve from leaving Asteriana when he begins to fret about Ed becoming human.  In N640, I hypothesize about what shows various characters watch including Joccy and Takoda.  In N647, I explain a bit about how I chose her name for the Dyeland/Asteriana stories.  In N655, I consider where Joccy and Takoda would land on the whole Barbenheimer phenomenon.  I decided they likely saw both.  In N656, I give some details on how I think various characters dress, including Joccy.  She figures into a spooky trope discussed in N661.  In "The Advocate," Joccy and Takoda take a big step in their relationship with the help of Joshua and some friends.  In N664, I give a brief update on Joccy and Takoda who are loving living together.  Joccy continues to work in the Tunnels and also gives arts and crafts classes at the Chrysalis.  In N674, she briefly comes up in my discussion of anam caras.  Mentioned on the first edition of the Dyelanders', Asterians', and Friends' Pet Inventory in N681.  N684 contains a list of suggested birthday gifts from Dyeland/Asteriana characters to Andrew, Joccy and Takoda included.  In N693, I cover some themed tropes and Joccy comes up in a couple.  Joccy figures into one of my favorite musical moments in the stories as shared in N698.  In N701, I did a Q and A and addressed one question about angel/human anam caras and Joccy and Takoda were mentioned.  N705 contains a discussion of disability tropes and Joccy comes up briefly due to her scars.  ("Glad Tidings, Part II," N533, 571, 582, 622, 648, 682)  *Joccy

Jodi Lowery-  (she/her/hers)  In "The Carpenter," Jodi is Derek's wife and mom to Joccy and Zoe.  She's bought into his spin on what he did to Emma, believing the girl seduced him and not (correctly) that Derek groomed and molested her.  Jodi leaves a hateful message on the St. Genesius' Theatre line which Joshua finds.  Emma falls apart and lashes out at Joshua before fleeing the theatre and disappearing then refusing contact with everyone.  In "The King," after Joshua confronts him, Derek finally tells Jodi the truth about what happened with Emma.  She is very regretful of her behavior towards Emma and also her own daughters.  Since Joshua had Derek sign divorce papers, Jodi is able to move her girls to Connecticut near her own mother where they make a fresh start with help from Joshua.  In N426, Jodi is invited, by Joshua, to spend Christmas with the JCS group which means Jocelyn and Zoe won't have to leave Joshua's or their new friends' company early.  Later, she has an epiphany about her girls.  In N452, Joshua encourages Joccy to level with her mother and not put on a brave face when she's upset.  In N559, Zoe and Jodi rejoin Joccy and the other Friends and Joshua for Christmas.  We also learn that Jodi's grandfather was Algonquin.  In "You'll Never Walk Alone," Joccy works through the anger she bears towards her mother for not protecting Emma and her daughters.  Joccy, Jodi, and Zoe chat via Zoom after Joccy has an emergency.  ("Glad Tidings, Part I", "Forever and Always," "The Advocate")  *Jodi

Joe Benson- Andrew’s assignment in “An Angel on my Tree.” See N126.

Joe Maxwell-  (he/him/his)  Character from the TV show Beauty and the Beast.  He was Catherine's boss at the DA office.  In Dyeland mode, he's now married to a woman named Angie and has become the district attorney.  In the autumn of 2007, Andrew worked in Joe's office during an assignment.  Joe's bewildered by Andrew's birthday celebration in N228.  Catherine is at his Christmas party in N235.  In N285, Catherine is spending Halloween at his party... apparenly Joe and Angie like to throw holiday parties.  Joe has a fairly extensive part in a story which begins with N286.  That story deals with a series of attacks on the homeless in NYC.  Joe, as district attorney, works to solve the crimes, along with Adam and other NYPD officers, all while Andrew lives among the homeless.  In N287, Joe becomes greatly upset when he feels no one trusts him.  This compounds his grief over the attacks.  Thankfully, Adam is assigned to him and able to help him reconnect with someone very dear to him and learn that his loved ones do trust him.  And Joe finally gets to meet Vincent!  He and his wife, Angie, attend Vincent's Christmas party in N289.  In N297, LJA briefly alludes to a time when she worked in Joe's office and had to deal with office gossip.  In  flash forward found in N337, Joe, Angie, and Jerry Maxwell all attend Andrew's 40th birthday party.  Catherine and her family are celebrating Thanksgiving with the Maxwells in "Abide With Me" thus allowing Andrew and Co. to use Cora's house for their own celebration with Max.  In "Chava," Joe is consulted when Owen and JenniAnn find an elderly woman living on the streets.  Joe pieces together that Chava resides at an assisted living home that is under investigation for abuse and neglect.  Chava agrees to give the D.A. her testimony.  Joe granting Catherine some time off becomes pretty important in "Song of Songs."   In "Possibilities," Matthew, Portia, and Joe sneak Vincent into a hospital to visit a loved one.  In "Shadowlands," Joe helps get Vincent into the hospital to see JenniAnn after she has a seizure following being shot. In “Chrysalis,” Joe helps Joshua and Josef gets Daisy to NYC.  He also aides with some of the raids and is present during a particularly dangerous one.  In N492, it's hinted that Joe is running for an unnamed political office.  Figures into one of the work-related tropes listed in N497.  In "Cupid and Psyche," it's mentioned that Catherine is at a campaign party for Joe.  What he's running for isn't stated.  In "Immortality," Joe helped Josef obtain Daisy's father's body so he could have a proper funeral.  In "Broken Hallelujahs," Joe cuts a vacation short and returns to Manhattan after a priestly abuse scandal breaks out.  Joe comes up in the Joshuan tropes discussed in N541.  In "The Messiah," Joe and Angie arrive at the hospital shortly after a shooting at the Manhattan Mosque.  Later, they attend a prayer vigil together.  In N559, Joe made arrangements for Joshua and Yosef to visit Cameron without guards right there.  In N701, I mention being tempted to make him mayor of my fictional NYC.  ("The Altar", "Harry and Psyche," 656, 666)  *Joe

Joe Turner St. John- (he/him/his)  One of Mick's and Beth's two future sons as imagined by/revealed to (it's a mystery which it is...) Andrew in N316.  N558 provides a year-end update on Mick, Beth, Joe, and many other Friends.  Mick, Beth, and baby Joe celebrate Christmas with Joshua and the Friends in N559.  In N664, the birth of his little brother, Michael, is announced.  *Joe St. John

Joey-  Appeared in TBAA episodes "Fear Not!", "The Feather", "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear", and both parts of the series finale "I Will Walk with You".  Monica fondly recalls meeting he and his brother, Wayne, in N153.  N469 contains younger me voicing disatisfaction with how Joey was treated in the finale.

John Dye- Obviously, one of the main focuses of the newsletter. Mr. Dye passed away on January 10th, 2011 at 47 years of age.  We at JABB were heartbroken but comforted by the idea that he is now experiencing all the love he promised us as Andrew.  We are committed to carrying on his legacy of compassion and love both with JABB and in our daily lives.  You can read our tributes to him by visiting this page which you can also access by clicking the blue or gray dove you'll find on the top, right corner of many JABB pages.  We will remember him always and forever treasure how he touched our lives.  Thank you, Mr. Dye, for bringing us together and inspiring us.  Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with his family and we thank God for letting John be part of our lives.

The following paragraph has been left as it was written through out the years.  While I considered editing it in the wake of John's passing, I decided it was less painful to leave this entry as is in testament to the 12 years we gushed over him while he was still among us. Thank you. ~Jenni

For the sake of clarity, I've broken his entry into two.  This entry lists only references to the *real* John and references to his work.  See the entry below ("John") for all newsletter references where we fictionalize him (actually a character named George) into a story.  (Just a quick reminder that in real life, JABB was never in any way affiliated with John Dye. We didn't know him, just appreciated his work and still do very much.)  In N2, JABB first addresses his (in)famous pre-Season 5 haircut.  Every year his birthday is celebrated both in a chat room and in the newsletters (N12-14 and 37-38). In N18 a petition was started to get him more airtime on TBAA.  In N20 you can find a poem by Audrey about his exciting appearance on The View, as well as reviews on some of his films. N25 is a retelling of JABB's birth which obviously includes much drooling over him.  Several of the classes in N30 revolved around him, his amazing acting, and certain admired physical attributes.  Several Dye Scouts badges concerning him are introduced in N34.  In N35 a young girl wrote in and asked if John actually existed and received an inspiring answer.  N42 made it look like he'd been forgotten in favor of Tommy Ergo Life. This was, of course, an April Fool's gag.  Andrew teases JenniAnn about her numerous viewings of John's Once Upon a Christmas in N58.  N62 lists ways in which to defend John and Andrew against critics.  Top ten things not to say to him given in N69.  In N78 JenniAnn tells a Halloween horror story in which he leaves TBAA for FOX's Who Wants to Marry a Guy Who Played an Angel?.  His name is inserted into several famous sayings, with bizarre results in N93.  His haircut was (once again) recalled in a poem in honor of JABB's 4th anniversary in N95.  In N106, Andrew formally thanks him during his annual address for faithfully portraying him on TV.  A few unorthodox ways of getting him to continue on as Andrew after TBAA ended production are given in N113.  In N124, Audrey and I list ways to prove we are not John after receiving a rather confused message from someone implying we *were* John.  In N129 I *seem* to be interviewing him...  Members of JABB share 41 things they love about John in honor of his 41st birthday in N130. N133 contains a top ten list about things not to say to John. Things like airbrushing his picture onto a shirt and hiring a skywriter to contact him are some of what the co-presidents admit to doing in N138.  JABBers are given tips on how to support his latest movie in N141.  N143 contains the first in a series of poems recalling John's career on TBAA.  A top ten in N147 dwelled largely on the author's desire to listen to his voice for extended periods of time...  In the same issue, I answer a query about why JABB focuses more on Andrew than John or his other characters.  JABB's plans for if John ever plays a really awful, unfunny to the max character are also discussed there.  In N148 I conclude I'll probly appreciate his acting more after seeing Heart.  Several of his characters give gifts in N152 in a 12 Days of Christmas parody.  Andrew, JenniAnn, and Jess praise his acting (and have some other responses) as Eric Manion in a movie trailer in N154.  A wide selection of John's characters are saluted in verse in N156, where we celebrate his 42nd birthday and hope for all the best for him!  N157 features a quiz in which you can find out which of five of his characters should be your valentine.  In part 2 of N161, I answer the question "What would you do if John retired?".  His famous green shirt and various of his roles inspire new phrases and words in N164.  Added into the Star Wars movies in several bizarre ways in N165.  I gave my opinion of his portrayal of Eric Manion in the film Heart of the Beholder in option 1 of N166.  Andrew, at first, mistakenly thinks JenniAnn is upset with John in option 2 of N166.  I mention a few things I'm glad he never did and recall being counseled after a talk show appearance of his in N168.  Subbing for me, Colleen mistakenly thinks John Dye is John Hurt in N170.  My dog tells that he is glad John lives far away from us in N172.  His lack of current projects (that we know of anyway) prompts a top ten in N179.  I suggest in N180 that members may be tempted to move to his city, San Francisco.  However, this is not because he lives there but cause it's warm and not snow-drenched!  Mention of one of his non-Andrew characters in JABB warrants two sips according to the drinking game in that issue.  In N182Opt2 Liz shares how much she appreciated John's acting (and looks, natch) upon first seeing him as Andrew.  Several of his characters are featured prominently in N184 wherein we celebrate his 43rd birthday.  Several of the stupid questions answered in N190opt1 revolve around his personal life.  I quote my very first journal entry (dated July 1997) that mentions Mr. Dye by name in N193.  Is the subject of several stupid questions and answers in N196opt1.  15 year-old me's crazy musings about him can be found in N199.  I also seem creepily unable to recall his name and repeatedly refer to him as Andrew in that issue.  Not surprisingly, he figures into several items submitted for the "200 Things I Have Learned from JABB" list found in N200.  N203 contains a piece written by Sorrow chronicling a day in the life of a devoted John Dye fan and her at work daydreams about him.  Also in that issue, I jokingly suggest that one could pass him off as one's boyfriend to co-workers.  N206, a fictional conversation between Andrew and Dyelanders features actual praise of John's acting as showcased in TBAA's "The Journalist."  Several items in the drinking game in N207 revolve around John being mentioned in a newsletter.  I suggest various goofy ways to celebrate his 44th birthday in N210.  In honor of Dye Day 2007, we listed some facts about January 31st and 1963, named our favorite John Dye moments, and wrote about what we've learned from the actor and his characters.  All this in N211.  A new member, Katie, shares facts she and John have in common in N213.  In the same issue, I share old journal entries that mention obsessively visiting his web page and having marathon viewings of his films.  I suggest getting him on Irish Spring commercials in N214.  A couple of the mottoes in N215 have to do with our not knowing what John's up to of late.  N218 gives tips on how to clean up in an eco-friendly manner after engage in various JD-inspired crafts.  In N219, I make a crack about Oprah's repeated interruptions during his appearance on her show.  Realizing how seldom Mr. Dye's non-Andrew characters get a mention in JABB, I/JenniAnn try to remedy that in N220.  Mentioned vaguely by a concerned angel in N221.  In N222, I state that John's career no longer is the most important factor in whether JABB newsletters keep appearing or not.  I suggest rainy day viewing of JD's movies in N226.  He figures into a couple of my school survival tips found in N227.  Two different virtual Magic 8 Ball's pretty much tell me his movie career is over in N230.  Thankfully, I don't put much stock in Magic 8 Balls!  In N232, I imagine that if I went on strike, JD's career would explode in an ironic twist.  In N234, Nicole suggests ways to incorporate parts of his filmography into your Christmas plans.  His acting career also figures into my Dye Scout badge ideas in the same issue.  Four of us write open letters to John Dye on his 45th birthday in N238.  It also includes a playlist of songs that remind me of him and his career.  In "Eight Years Later," LJA almost tells Andrew of her crush on TV Andrew but covers it by admitting to an appreciation for John Dye's acting work as a whole.  An old journal entry I offer up in N244 contains my angsting out about the possibility of Mr. Dye having found JABB.  I allude to the utterly complete lack of John Dye news in N251.  In that same newsletter I also admit to being horrified that he ever appeared as a character in JABB.  N254Opt2 points out that his entire filmography could be purchased for what some students end up spending on unwanted text books.  N260 ends with a shout out concerning our gratitude for his career.  N265 celebrates his 46th birthday with a quiz about his acting career and a play list inspired by it.  I mention a new film release of his in N267.  In N274, I briefly lament his not being able to lead a TBAA episode in which Andrew is put on trial for murder.  Andrew briefly writes about his ZZ Top video in N275.  In "Shifting Focus," LJA ponders if he's reprise his role as Andrew if Lifetime made a movie about her obsession with Andrew.  Andrew hopes not!  Thanked by Yvette in N278.  In N284, older me and younger me debate about whether I had a crush on him or just Andrew.  In N292, we celebrate his 47th birthday with a list of things we wish we could say to his characters, a thematic word search, and a birthday toast!  During my address in N294, I mention how JABB Jeopardy has brought back memories of different parts of Mr. Dye's career.  In N295, I make a dig about Oprah repeatedly interrupting him when he appeared on her show and Rebecca praises his portrayal of Andrew.  In N300, a few of us recall the excitement of finding new pictures of Mr. Dye and potential media spottings of him.  In N301, you can discover how big of an Andrew/JD fan you are!  In N309, I briefly mention how another JABBer and I would mix CDs with songs that we felt related to Mr. Dye's assorted characters.  (N33, 163Opt1, 169, 176, CABB 2, 236, 304, CABB 13)

Hi.  Jenni again.  From this point on, this entry was written post January 10th, 2011.  The material I'm describing wasn't necessarily written after that but my coverage of it here was.  So here goes.  N314, a Thanksgiving issue, starts with Rebecca and I sharing reasons we're grateful to John Dye.  It's sad to think that only weeks later we'd be doing that again for completely different, more sober reasons.  But I'm really glad we did that then.  N318 was the first newsletter written after Mr. Dye's passing.  It was sent only six days later so many of us were still pretty much in shock.  But we managed to write out a list of things were are grateful to him for including the love and compassion he showed, the joy he brought us on-screen, the peace he helped us find during times of grief, flannel shirts, umbrella dances, and so much more.  With that, we also committed the group to supporting others and reaching out as John so often did.  Finally, we closed with a hymn, "Be Thou My Vision," celebrating his entry into Heaven and eternal life with the Father.  Though "On This Side" is a fictional story, it tells about how the Dyelanders began to find peace together upon learning of John Dye's death.  Some of the sentiments and actions of the characters were based in fact.  In N319, we commemorate what would have been John's 48th birthday by sharing memories of how his work touched our lives, made us smile, and gave us hope.  That's also when many of us set about to help others in his memory.  N320 is our annual Valentine's story for 2011.  It turned out to be a sorta paean to John Dye's career and the lessons he taught us.  His movies and shows and even a couple interviews are referenced by the characters.  In the story, the Dyelanders gather food, clothing, etc. to benefit the homeless and honor him.  At the same time, we were doing something very similar for him in real life.  N321 came out about 7 weeks after John passed away.  It featured the annual State of the JABBers/Dyelanders addresses.  I wrote of JABB's new path in remembering and celebrating John's career and promoting his causes.  Andrew suggested that John would be happy to know how his inspiration has led to generosity and compassion within our group.  In a flashback to 2000 found in N322, Andrew voices some doubt about whether he'll live up to John's portrayal of him.  In N325, I leveled with the group about my creative difficulties following John's death.  However, I still believe that he left enough inspiration behind for the newsletters to continue for quiet a while.  In N326, I explain how some future Dyeland stories concerning Andrew's decision to age may be painful now that John is in Heaven.  However, I feel like the message of that plot is even more important now.  In N327, I ask for suggestions on things JABB can do that would help our members remember John.  In N329, we introduced a new feature called "Unanswered Questions."  In it, we plan to address the questions TBAA, ToD, and other John Dye projects left us with.  In that first one, Rebecca and I hypothesize about Doc Hock's future.  N330 opened with a statement about our wish to honor John by raising money for the American Red Cross to benefit tornado and flood victims.  It also contained some information about John's short film, Mother, Mother.  N332, in which we celebrate JABB's 13th anniversary, begins with a dedication of sorts to John.  The entire newsletter doubles as a tribute to him as we honor his legacy and remember how we became fans.  It closes with a more sober 12 Steps program for this bittersweet life we now share as fans of our beloved John.  N334 contains a quiz with questions about various John Dye projects and roles that had an academic theme to them.  In addition, that newsletter marks the start of a new feature in which we dedicate each and every newsletter to some aspect of John's life and legacy.  With CABB 14, we remembered Charles Rocket on his birthday but also shared our appreciation for John and hope that both men know now how loved they are.  John-centric fitness tips can be found in N335.  That issue is dedicated to his ability to tell us of God's perfect love.  N336 marked the first mention in a newsletter of Pay it Forward in Memory of John Dye.  Also in that issue, Cindy and I shared some things we wished we could tell our younger selves.  Some of those items involved John.  In my Author's Note on "In the Palm of His Hand", I thank John for giving us an image of a loving entity like Andrew who is with people when they die.  In N337, I let it be known that all the words of love Andrew gets in my stories will one day come to John.  N338 is dedicated to all the times John saved us from despair.  In CABB 15, I share my gratitude to Adam without whom I may never have started following John's career.  Also, that issue is dedicated to John's and Mr. Rocket's abilities to help us realize dying only means we're going Home.  In N339, I announced that Pay it Forward in Memory of John Dye had officially launched.  I also closed with a message and dedication to John who we love so very much.  N340, a Halloween issue, was dedicated to John's ability to calm our fears and make us feel safe... something he did so often for me.  In N341, we offered up a prayer for John's family and thanked God for his life in work.  In addition, the issue was dedicate to the countless things John gave us that we are grateful.  In N342, Cindy and I shared how John has become a part of our holiday traditions and how we plan to honor him at that most special time of the year going forward.  It is also dedicated to all the joy John brought us with his many holiday-themed projects.  N343 is dedicated to John's lighthearted influence in our lives.  Thanks for all the smiles and laughter!  I wrote "The Altar" as a means of trying to cope with some grief I was still experiencing.  In N344, Andrew sets about to create a memorial ornament for John and receives some much-needed divine intervention as he seeks to help his friends heal from the loss.  N345 brought us to the "last of the firsts."  At that point we'd made a full year since losing John and thus put the first birthday, first anniversary, first Christmas, etc. behind us.  I marked the occasion by listing ways to carry John into 2012.  In N346, I thank John for all the crafts he's inspired over the years... took a break from some of them, actually, to do this update.  We celebrated John's birthday in N347 with a test covering many aspects of his life and career.  And then I dedicated the issue to basically everything about John.  John's favorite Bible passage, 1 Corinthians 13, informs the Valentine's story found in N348.  In addition, that newsletter is dedicated to all the love John showed in his life.  N349 was sent from Amory when I was in town for John's mom, Lynn's, memorial service.  I dedicated that one to how John helped us with the grief we feel after losing a loved one.  In my State of the JABBers Address in N350, I wrote about how the pain of John's death is still there but that we're healing and looking for the "possibilities for goodness" that he talked about.  John's death, and grief in general, informs the State of the Dyelanders Address in N351.  N352 is dedicated to John's willingness to share his faith.  N353 is when I first mention the eBay auctions featuring John's photos and memorabilia.  In addition, that newsletter is dedicated to John's ability to distract me... and, boy, could he!  In N354, I mention that TBAA's S5 DVD release gives us a possible chance to chat with cashiers about John and admire him anew!  That issue is, naturally, dedicated to John's work in S5.  In N355, I wrote about how John was sorta there in the background during my childhood thanks to my mom's TV viewing habits.  I also shared how my appreciation for his work has deepened now that I've revisited many of his earlier projects.  There's also a list there of signs *you* just may be a John Dye fan.  N356 is dedicated to John for helping me grow from a child to an adult and never entirely giving up being the former.  N357, which was sent on Father's Day, is dedicated to John's work and how he taught children about God and enabled us to face and discuss the big issues in life... the work of a father.  N358 is dedicated to John's integrity.  I truly miss his wise and calming words.  In N359, I suggest watching your 14 favorite John projects in honor of JABB's 14 years.  That issue is dedicated to John for making my high school locker so lovely.  And then I gave him... and all of you... my combination.  In N360, Rebecca and I both wrote a little about John's passing during our 14th anniversary of JABB reflections.  I stressed that while that was so difficult, sharing his legacy together has been a true blessing.  In N361, I ranked John's characters from worst to best as far as their nursing skills... because that makes sense.  That issue was also when I turned 30 so I shared a list of 30 things I learned from John and JABB.  Then I dedicated the issue to John's work in Mother, Mother in which Jeff turns 30.  John's death is briefly alluded to in N362 as Andrew and LJA go through letters, including some that they wrote to each other in the hard time following his passing.  I also wrote a little about my feelings on writing Andrew stories following John's death.  Cindy's letter contained there is also very much about John.  Finally, I dedicated it to John's way of getting me to see the world more richly and beautifully and Godly.  JABB 363/CABB 16 celebrated Charles Rocket's birthday and also the year anniversary of the PIF site.  So that issue was spent reflecting on Charles' work as well and John's.  I also wrote a top ten list about how to make John and Charles hopefully laugh in heaven since they brought us so much happiness on earth.  In N364, I wrote of how John helped me to rekindle my love of autumn.  N365 is dedicated to John for continuing to bring joy and comfort to so many people.  Along with the usual dedication, I thank John for portraying Andrew in an ode in CABB 17/ JABB 366.  N367 is dedicated to John's enduring awesomeness.  Yay.  N368 is dedicated to John the leader.  In N369, I share reasons I'm thankful to be a John Dye fan... and he left us many reasons to be thankful for that!  N370 is dedicated to John's festively themed work.  N371 is dedicated to John's ability to wear a hat.  He looked awfully handsome in em!  Of course, he always did.  N372 was written "in thankfulness to John for all the Christmas joy he's brought me over the years."  N373 is dedicated to John's continued presence in our lives in 2013.  In addition, I write about finding it easier to watch his work  (even the TBAA finale!) which has been really great!  N374 is dedicated to the times when John depicted Andrew as someone who stood by those, like China and Tony, who were being ostracized by others.  In N375, in honor of John's 50th birthday, four of us shared a number of things we will never, ever forget about him.  N376 features an homage to John's superb film Mother, Mother.  That newsletter is dedicated to the peace John gave me through his role as Andrew.  In N377, I write of our continued enjoyment of God's work and how I view JABB's continuance as evidence of how much hope in the face of death he gave us.  Also, the newsletter is dedicated to that hope.  N378 is dedicated to the 17 years John kept me... and so many others... smiling.  N379 is dedicated to John for being a dime.  It makes sense in context.  I promise!  N380 is dedicated to the times when John's peaceful presence on screen helped me (and I'm sure others!)

John (fictional) aka George- This is a listing of all the references to John that are in no way based in fact.  This is a *fictionalized* John Dye who, as was eventually revealed, wasn't John at all but a ringer brought in by Cliff, a Dyelander, to keep people from leaving Dyeland.  They're stories produced at the height of the JABB authors' obsessions.  Not real!  Got it?  :-)  Okay...  His "history" with JABB is as follows.  Jarrod was appointed as his bodyguard early on. In N2, Audrey told JenniAnn that his hair, it had really just been cut at the time, was in Northern Ireland on a Chihuahua.  John went to a psychologist in N4 when he became worried about JABB, which he didn't know about at the time.  In N19 he met Chiwawa, the recipient of his shorn hair. N25 has him trying to demolish JABB.  (Yeah... I don't get that plot line either and I probly helped write it.)  In N28 he had to run around in armor and speak Old English (temporarily) and rescue princesses.  In N37 Jarrod posted an application for being his bodyguard. John was present for N39's wedding of the Jabbins, which ended with him and the co-presidents imprisonment and later release by Cliff the neighboring magician.  N43 found him lost in a forest and enchanted by Kiwi.  In N44 Joy described her stint as John's bodyguard.  In N46 he showed up to remember, with the co-presidents, the past few years. He paired up with Victor in N47 to write an issue. They accidentally said more than they wanted to and ended up telling all of JABB about the crazy regular authors. In N48 he teamed up with Chiwawa to auction off JABB memorabilia and ended up trying to sell Chiwawa. In N49 he tried to help recover JenniAnn's memory and later celebrated the second anniversary.  In N63 he tells Andrew people looking like JenniAnn and Audrey stole a framed picture from his house.  In N68 he and Andrew play a practical joke on JenniAnn.  He joins Audrey and Andrew in the NWO plot in N71.  N73 contains an email, the very first contact between John and the co-prezes (fake, of course).  Converses (or may be it's his impostor??  I'm a bit confused having not written it myself who this was supposed to be) with Lisa in N75 about finding himself lost in the Forbidden Forest.  Attends the Dyeland Christmas party in N82. Watches Andrew change a light bulb in N83 in case he ever has to act this out.  A list of gifts given to him by members was given in N84.  Experiences the misfortune of interrupting a sleepover and ends up dressed as Elvis in N87.  Fictionalized Charles Rocket complains about some of John's less tactful fans in N89.  The drama concerning his shorn hair and his rescue of the princesses is recalled in a JABB highlight poem in N95.  In N110 a farewell musical revue is thrown for him since, with TBAA’s cancellation, he will no longer be there much to meet with Andrew. In that same issue his first meeting with Andrew is described. John is understandably shaken.  In N137 it is said he would be ashamed if Andrew were ever arrested for murder.  In N142 JC Amory makes a documentary about his fans but is surprised to find that at least one of John's characters, Andrew, is real.  In N171, Audrey suggests Andrew's home is destroyed when Tess searches there for John's missing hair.  Andrew collects and delivers birthday gifts for him in N184, 2006's Dye Day issue.  A lovesick Andrew calls him requesting Jennifer Lopez's number in the "Things that You'll Never Read in a JABB Newsletter" list in N205.  I mention his actually being an actor named George, hired by Cliff, in N251.  Cause nowadays I really don't like the idea of a real person as a character... 

John Adams Braintree Bulletin- In a midterm induced stress, Audrey and I wrote this instead of JABB and sent it to our deans in N108.

John Cale- One of John's favorite musicians. N9  N328 finds Adam singing "Hallelujah" a la John Cale.

John Cusack- In N144, inspired by his Say Anything role, an unnamed Dyelander holds a boom box over her head and plays Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes" outside Andrew's house.  In N167, Lady JenniAnn admits it was her.  Lady JenniAnn again mimics Lloyd Dobler in "The Uninvited Guest" (N185).  Except this time she plays "I Will Walk with You" instead of "In Your Eyes."  The actor is also thanked at the end of the story (I'm sure he's sooo pleased!)  In N212, LJA yet again mimics Mr. Cusack with the boom box but ends up dropping it on her head.  (N81, 185)

Sir John Hurt- British actor who was featured in such films as The Elephant Man, Alien, and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.   My friend mistakenly thinks he is the focus of JABB in N170 and talks about watching the above movies.  In N482, I wrote a brief dedication to Sir John Hurt following his death.  He inspired the creation of Lewellyn.  I very briefly discuss his portrayal of Joseph Merrick in The Elephant Man in N523.

John the Baptist- See the Yohannan entry.

Jolie- (she/her/hers)  In “Chrysalis,” she's Josef's assistant, at least when he's working out of FS-Atlanta.  In "Immortality," Josef realizes that Joshua was trying to give him a means to find Daisy and Benson when Jolie started a trend at FS with vampires taking DNA tests to find descendants.  Later in the story, Josef mentions that Jolie is pregnant.  In N533, Jolie and her husband organize the FS Christmas tea.  They attend with their baby girl and are ecstatic about meeting Joshua, Andrew, and Marty.  *Jolie

Jolly Green Giant, Coolest and Loveliest of Mini-Vans- Andrew's mini-van makes its first appearance in N257.  It got its name from Rose and Yva.  Andrew is initially not pleased with the uncoolness of the van but later realizes how perfect it is for him and how lovingly the Father chose it.  In N258, Andrew and the ladies of Dyeland pile into it to head to a Halloween and craft supply shop.  Henry drives the Dyelanders to the holiday store in it in N262.  Later in the story it figures into Andrew's assignment.  The mini-van is used frequently (and at times dramatically) in the story found in N264.  Inspires a song on the N265 Dye Day play list.  Takes the Dyelanders on a rainbow search in N268.  In N272, we discover that Andrew has pulled out the front middle-seat CD holder of the Jolly Green.  So now some lucky person can sit there... beside him.  Mentioned in the lyrics to "Free Andrew Now" from N274.  Andrew suggests taking it on a couple road trips in N277.  You *may* see the van in an ink blot from N280 where it also figures into Andrew's job description.  Figures into one of the party games from Andrew's birthday found in N282.  The van carries the Dyelanders to and from the Ren Faire in N285.  Upon leaving for an assignment, Andrew leaves Rose the keys to the Jolly Green in N286.  Missing him and needing distraction, the girls proceed to redecorate the car in hippie-style.  The Jolly Green carries the Dyelanders to some very important places in N287.  Andrew and LJA travel around in it a bit whilst conducting interviews in N293.  Andrew jests about the Dyelanders' propensity to pull pranks via the Jolly Green during his toast in N295.  Andrew and LJA recall their memories involving the van in N300.  Ends up stuffed with luggage prior to the Dyelanders' cruise in 307.  And the van carries em all home in N308.  In N313 ("Safe"), the Dyelander women briefly consider using Andrew's own van to sneak to West Hollow, IA to be with him during an assignment.  However, he'd already taken it there himself so they use other means.  In C.J.'s vision substory in N316, she and Andrew recall a couple pranks the Dyelanders played on Andrew using his van.  A lotta mileage gets put on the van in N320 as Andrew uses it to collect goods he and his friends donate in memory of John Dye.  The Jolly Green is the target of the girls' pranks in N324.  Andrew and three of the girls leave Dyeland in it in N325 so they can attend a concert featuring Adam.  In N337, God takes a moment to remember when Andrew got the van.  In N356, Andrew goes back to Serendipity to get the Jolly Green for an assignment and notices a mysterious item has shown up there.  One of the answers to the quiz in N360.  The Jolly Green carts various of the Dyelanders around in "Abide With Me".   Playing Shotgun and Hairspy in the Jolly Green is mentioned in N378's "You Might Be a Dyelander" list.  Inspires travel bingo item in N384.  Andrew says it's his dream car in N386.  Aww.  Andrew has it with him in "Ivy" and utilizes it to get his helpers to and fro from the school where they're volunteering.  It also serves as his white steed during a necessary and unwelcome rescue operation AND winds up hurrying to the E.R.  One of the questions in N395 asks the player to ID the angel who handed this off to Andrew.  Riding with a friend in the Jolly Green makes it onto Andrew's "favorite things" list in N399.  The Jolly Green hauls Andrew and three of the girls to Nebraska for Ivy's Christmas pageant in N400.  The following day, it gets several of them to Mass in Manhattan.  In N404, Andrew drives his baby girl home from the hospital in the Jolly Green.  Aww!!!  The Jolly Green gets a lot of use in"The Carpenter" when Andrew repeatedly hauls members of his family around New York, including a couple visits to Albany.  The Jolly Green proves most useful in "The King" with a lot of furniture moving happening.  Liam is brought to Dyeland via the alley portal while riding in the Jolly Green in "A Stor Mo Chroi."  Andrew carts "Santa" and "Mrs. Claus" around in the Jolly Green in N426.  It gets used to pull Yonah's trailer to St. Genesius' in "The Never-Ending Road."  The van transports the Friends' Easter food to the Fields in "Morning Has Broken."  In "Glad Tidings, Part I,"  Andrew suggests that Sean could give the Jolly Green a tune-up if helping him with carpentry work doesn't work.  In "Shadowlands," Shelby has a nightmare during which the Jolly Green crashes with Andrew, JenniAnn, and Belle perishing, leaving her the only survivor.  The Jolly Green is part of the caravan to North Carolina in "Hope and Healing."  Adam throws some shade at the van in "Forever and Always."  Andrew drives his girls, Ivy, Kemara, and Sean to a feis in the Jolly Green in "Glad Tidings, Part II."  Alluded to in one of the Anam Cara taglines in N449.  In N452, Andrew escorts the Clauses to their appearances in the Jolly Green which Edward and Caleb decked out for Christmas.  Joshua borrows it to go to Brewster to pick up the McCallum twins' strollers.  It does its share of hauling Friends around during their anti-trafficking mission in “Chrysalis.”  The Jolly Green takes Andrew, JenniAnn, and Max to Manhattan on a rescue mission in N510.  The trusty van is there to bring Joshua home from the hospital in"The Messiah."  N571 contains a draft of the first few scenes of a story I'm working on in which the Friends deal with the COVID pandemic.  The Jolly Green appears in it.  In "God in the Gloom," the Jolly Green gets used to haul pandemic stock-up groceries for Andrew's and JenniAnn's household as well as several others in Dyeland.  In "The Advocate," Andrew and Crowley share a goofy sibling moment in the van after a hardware store run.  Later, Roger borrows it for an important road trip with Loreena, Christina, and Perry.  In N665, the Chandler-Darcy family pack into the Jolly Green for their pre-Christmas weekend in Nebraska with JenniAnn's parents.  In "Shooting Star," Andrew gets another car but assumedly the Jolly Green is still good for family trips.  (N350, 383)  *Jolly Green

Jonah Webb- (he/him/his)  Chief of police, family man, Andrew's assignment, all around good guy.  His story is found in N313.  In that story, "Safe," Andrew helps Jonah and the other police officers as they strive to solve a serial rape case.  The events gnaw at Jonah who has some secrets of his own and deep wounds that need healing.  In N316, Andrew mentions that he's finished the assignment and bid Jonah and Co. good bye.  In "The Coffee Summit." while Joshua prepares Andrew for his assignment with Jonah, he's confident that the angel will reach the man.  Jonah is mentioned in a father-related trope discussed in N465.  (N362)

Josef- (he/him/his)  Mick's friend and fellow vampire on Moonlight.  Since the show was cancelled, we've continued to add to his story!  In "Dream", Mick initially believes Dyeland is some elaborate trick produced by mega-millionaire Josef.  He appears briefly in N243 and is led to believe the Dyelander women are clients of Mick's.  In "Make This Go On Forever," Josef overhears an argument between Andrew and JenniAnn that reminds him of one he had years before with his girlfriend, Sarah, whom he tried to turn.  Josef lashes out at Andrew whom he blames for her coma but later draws closer to the Dyelanders as they help him prepare for Sarah's death.  Apparently friendship with Mr. Kostan there might doom Andrew's political career according to N256.  Andrew voices pity for the vampire upon seeing a grisly vampire costume in a store, as told in N258.  He figures into Andrew's Christmastime assignment in N262 and begins to heal after the loss of his girlfriend, Sarah.  Josef starts an emotional interview with Andrew about the topic of "lost love" in N266.  However, the interview is interrupted when Ronald arrives with a letter for Andrew.  Josef's failed attempt to turn Sarah is callously mentioned in N270.  Josef currently divides his time between L.A. and Eastern Europe, his homeland.  After Sarah's death it became important to him to find meaning and purpose in life so he spends part of his time combatting human trafficking.  If only it were true...  Andrew helping him cope with Sarah's death inspires an item in Andrew's job description in N280.  Attends the Dyeland Christmas Eve party in N289.  He's given a Scrooge ornament to represent him on the Dyeland Christmas tree.  He also threatens to help Rose uncover Andrew's age.  Josef tends to Mick in N293 after the latter's break-up with Beth.  Josef also tries to help LJA after a drunken Mick tells her something stunning about Andrew.  He figures into a few of the treasured JABB memories we compiled in N300.  He's working in Russia during N313 ("Safe").  In N316, Andrew envisions Josef's future.  In it, Josef is still working hard with his charity, honoring his beloved Sarah always.  Though busy in Thailand at the time, Josef did contribute to the food and goods drive in memory of John that the Dyelanders organized in N320.  Attends Andrew's "36th" birthday party in Dyeland in N337.  In N348, Josef finds himself missing Sarah intently on the eve of Mick's and Beth's wedding.  In N362, Andrew and LJA tearfully reread a letter Josef wrote them after Sarah's death.  In "Abide With Me", Josef at first entertains the thought of going to Afghanistan to rescue Andrew but gives it up.  When Andrew returns, Josef goes in with Beth and Mick to buy Andrew a vacation.  In N372, we find out how Andrew opted to spend the trip money Beth, Mick, and Josef gave him.  In N376, Andrew and Co. take the trip that Josef and the St. Johns paid for.  In N379, Joshua tells Andrew about how, but for one January night in 1987, Josef would have mourned Sarah alone.  Inspires one of the questions in N395.  In "The Truth," LJA references the time she plotted to stake Josef... but goes onto say she needs to call him to try to convince him to come home for Christmas.  She, Andrew, Mick, and Beth are all campaigning for it.  In "The King," Josef attends Belle's baptism along with Mick, Beth, and Logan.  He and Mick are rather confused by Joshua's inclusion in the rite.  In N426, Beth and Logan leave Mick and Josef playing poker at a hotel so they can sneak off to celebrate Joshua's birthday.  In N432, I discuss the tropes found in Dyeland stories.  Josef's love for Sarah features a bittersweet one.  In "Shadowlands," after visiting with Sarah on Joshua's island, JenniAnn assures Josef that the woman is alive and well and blissfully happy.  In addition, Josef buys a pool table for Andrew.  Attends Max's adoption party in "Hope and Healing."  Figures into a Christmas trope in N451.  In N452, Josef has to face the truth about Joshua when the mounting evidence grows too great.  In N456, Joshua is referenced as having spent the day with Josef, seemingly making preparations for the trafficking assignment.  Mentioned, along with Sarah, in a trope explanation in N459.  Sorted into Slytherin House in N460.  Figures into a couple Halloween tropes in N474.  It also lists his costumes as Fairy King for Halloween 2016... assumedly at Daisy's request.  Mentioned in the "Chrysalis" excerpt in N475.  In “Chrysalis,” Josef takes part in the bust of a brothel.  He finds a little girl who is more connected to him than he realizes.  Figures into a trope discussed in N481.  In N483, a flash forward to 2035 reveals that Daisy is looking forward to getting married and having kids and seeing her Mom and Dad gush over their grandbabies.  In N487, Andrew is excited for Josef and the other vamps to learn that the cure has been found.  Josef and Daisy are mentioned in a family-themed trope in N489.  I gave an update, as of Nov. 2017, on him in N505.  Josef celebrates Christmas with Amber-Marie and the folks at the CC in N506.  He figures into one of the parental-themed tropes discussed in N516.  In "Immortality," Josef makes some major life choices after burying his descendant, Daisy's father Benson, and receiving visits from both Joshua and Sarah... a while adjusting to parenthood alongside Amber-Marie.  I introduced "Immortality" in N523.  In "Broken Hallelujahs," Josef helps Joccy and Violeta watch the kids while others of the Friends discuss the troubles at St. Mary Magdalene's.  In "Sunshine and Snow," using some FS vehicles, Josef is able to get Andrew and JenniAnn, with baby Avi, safely back home from Ireland.  N532 gives an update on Josef, Amber-Marie, and Daisy following the couple's wedding and honeymoon to Disney World with their daughter.  In N533, Josef is overjoyed when Joshua wants to spend part of his Christmas visit at the FS party.  In N534, I explain how I didn't originally intend for Josef and Daisy to be related.  He's mentioned in a couple of the love-themed tropes discussed in N538.  Figures into another couple tropes in N550.  N558 provides a year-end update on Josef, Amber-Marie, Daisy, and many other Friends.  In "The Messiah," Josef helps distribute fliers about Symponia's health fair and is present for a difficult talk with Andrew, JenniAnn, and Nico at the hospital following a shooting at the mosque.  He also performs at the group's prayer vigil.  In N563, I share reasons I love writing Dyeland stories and among them is keeping characters I love, like Josef, "alive."  In N565, I mention how Josef feared he was a parallel to Joseph of Arimathea after Joshua was shot.  Figures into N570 where I examined how the Hays Code might have changed Dyeland stories.  N571 contains a draft of the first few scenes of a story I'm working on in which the Friends deal with the COVID pandemic.  Josef appears in it.  Figures into a trope in N572.  Josef is discussed in a trope covered in N577.  In "God in the Gloom," Josef is among the Friends participating in a Zoom planning session as they prepare for COVID lockdown. One of his companies is used as a front for El-Chanan's COVID tests.  Mentioned in a random trope I covered in N584.  In N593, I shared some of my hopes for the Dyelanders and Friends as the COVID vaccines began to roll-out, including for Josef, Amber-Marie, and Daisy.  In N598, I begin a look back at my favorite Dyeland story moments including a Josef scene.  Mentioned in a spooky Dyeland trope discussed in N607.  Figures into one of the Four Loves tropes discussed in N616.  N623 contains volume one of my Dyeland story playlist.  One of my explanations mentions Josef.  In N635, I shared a trope relating to the vampires being cured.  In N642, I covered love-themed tropes, one of which involves Josef and Sarah.  Josef comes up in a random trope discussed in N652.  He figures into a couple spooky tropes discussed in N661.  In N664, an update on the Turner St. John family mentions them considering a move to New York to be closer to the Kostan Sayer family.  In N676, Amber-Marie and Josef are among the characters whose thoughts on Bridgerton I consider.  Mentioned on the first edition of the Dyelanders', Asterians', and Friends' Pet Inventory in N681.  Josef figures into a couple of my favorite musical moments in the stories as shared in N698.  Figures into a relationship-themed trope in N715.  In the "Forever Home" portion of N717, Josef, Amber-Marie, and Daisy join the extended Chander-Darcy-Wells-Al-Mitra family at Cora's house to decorate for Christmas.  In N722, Josef comes up in a discussion of fairy tale-themed tropes.

Josephine- Rose's aunt.  Josephine took the young woman in upon her arrival in Dyeland.  Rose continues to live with her on Selini.  Josephine dresses as Eeyore in "The Masquerade Ball and Other Events".  In N266, Aunt Josephine watches the Dyelander football game with Rose and Andrew and teases the latter about his "wondrous" hair.  She asks Rose to weed her strawberry patch in N271.  Cora, Vincent's mother, befriends her in "Origins."  She and Tess safely wait out a storm together in N279.  She and Rose made Adam sugar cookies for his birthday according to CABB 11.  Rose's aunt spends some time at Catherine's shelter in N286.  She comforts Maggie, a young homeless woman, and the Dyelanders when they grow anxious about Andrew who is living on the streets.  In N287, Maggie leaves Josephine a note when she departs the Phoenix to search for Andrew.  Josephine attends Vincent's Christmas party in N289.  She appears briefly in N293 prior to Rose's interview, heading out with Tess and Widget to volunteer at a retirement home.  She helps welcome her niece and the other Dyelanders back from a cruise in N308.  In N310, Andrew and Rose share hot drinks and cookies with her after raking up the yard.  In N313 ("Safe"), Rose travels to and fro between West Hollow, IA and Dyeland in order to check in with her aunt.  She and Rose bake red velvet cookies that they share with Andrew in N320.  In addition, Josephine thanks him for supporting the girls.  In N322, on his 11th anniversary of coming to Dyeland, Andrew recalls his time with friends including Aunt Josephine.  At the Dyeland Halloween party in N340.  Attends Andrew's surprise party in N350.  In N358, Rose explains that she's late to a gathering of the Dyeland ladies because she was running errands for her aunt.  She arrives with Rose to Andrew's welcome home/make-up birthday party in "Abide With Me".  Aunt Josephine gives Andrew warm socks which, as an adult, I can now say is a really wonderful gift.  :-)  Spends Christmas Eve and morning at Andrew's with her niece in N372.  Max's ticket out of some Andrew and LJA drama in "Rapprochment."   Josephine accompanies her niece and other Dyelanders on their vacation to Orlando in N376.  In N377, Andrew shares that he feels blessed to have her and Rose in his life.  In N379, Joshua tells Andrew about how, but for one January night in 1987, Josephine would have remained alone.  An answer to one of the questions in N395.  In N400, she attends Christmas breakfast at Serendipity.  In "The Carpenter," she attends the party Andrew and LJA throw to thank people for supporting them during Belle's first days.  She learns the truth about Joshua during the course of "The King."  Seeing the look in Max's eyes as he showed her Rose's ring and spoke of Joshua's approval was all she needed to let her doubt go.  In N426, Josephine is among the many people who stay at Willowveil during Christmas week so they can be near Joshua.  In N430, on Valentine's Eve, Rose and Max share dinner with Aunt Josephine before heading to L.A. to enjoy a moonlit beach walk.  In "Shadowlands," Max stays with Josephine and Rose rather than return to Willowveil or be alone at his own house after JenniAnn in shot.  She stays with JenniAnn's parents and the Morettis during Christmas 2015 in N452.  Rose mentions living with her beloved aunt a couple times in her questionnaire in N463.  (N224, 239, CABB 10, 324, 362, 456)  *Josephine

Joshua (Jesus/Yeshua)- (he/him/his)  A note on Joshua's pronouns: They are seldom capitalized owing to the fact that they are not capitalized in the Bible.  They are only capitalized when needed for emphasis.  Because Joshua is such a familiar presence in the stories, I decided that I wanted to only use capitals when it would add something to a particular scene.  So, for example, there's nothing particularly important about an exchange like "Anyone seen Joshua?" "Yeah, he's in the kitchen."  However, someone recently learning who Joshua is and saying "This whole time... I've been working alongside... Him." is pretty profound so a capital is utilized.  This entry is more detailed than most others simply because Joshua is one character I don't want to become inconsistent on and I do use this page a lot for reference/continuity when writing.  So please excuse parts that may seem like babbling.  Joshua is more commonly known as Jesus of Nazareth and Jesus Christ.  Jesus is the Greek form of the Hebrew/Aramaic Joshua/Yeshua.  To the best of my knowledge, no one's quite sure which of the three Jesus actually went by.  I think most presume either Joshua or Yeshua but I've also heard Greek names were en vogue among the Jewish population at the time so who knows.  In the stories, Joshua uses that name because it's the least conspicuous of the three although that doesn't rule out the possibility that he went by Joshua during the Incarnation, too.  Although "Ivy" does rule that out now.  That story reveals that during the Incarnation, Joshua did indeed go by Yeshua and was often called Yeshu by his parents, Maryam and Yosef.  In modern times, he sometimes shortens Joshua to simply Josh.  Joshua does not use a surname although it seems that, at least for a time in 2014, he will use Davidson.  My inspiration for introducing the character of Joshua was the series of Joshua books by Fr. Joseph Girzone.  That being said, I don't know that these stories can really be considered Joshua and Touched by an Angel crossovers because the Dyeland Joshua has yet to acknowledge any events from Girzone's books.  Nor do I presume that Fr. Girzone would approve of all my characterizations.  So it's more "inspired by" than "spun from."  Cause up until I read those books, I'd never really considered bringing Joshua into the modern setting of my stories.  Presumably, Joshua is the same person as Zack in the TBAA finale (although if one were to ask Monica about it in Dyeland, she would say she was assigned to Jack... not Zack) but please do NOT imagine that actor as Joshua.  (A description of "Jack" and his announcement of Monica's promotion are described in "The Coffee Summit.")  Among my reasons are that his look is all wrong.  The Joshua of these stories is very clearly Middle-Eastern ("deeply tan" in one story) and appears to be in his mid-thirties.  He has black hair (sometimes merely shaggy, sometimes long enough for a ponytail), a beard, and thick browed brown eyes flecked with gold ("eyes that would forever signify one thing to Andrew: Love").  In addition, Joshua has a birthmark on his right temple that he'd rub at when nervous as a boy.  He's attractive in the sense that people find themselves drawn to him but "He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him" (Isaiah 53:2).  In other words, Joshua is not hot... and totally okay with that!  He will at one point be described as "burly" although the source of that comment is of questionable veracity.  Various bits in stories make it seem to me that Andrew and Joshua are right around the same height.  I think that's all we've got on physical description so... there ya go.  In the Dyeland stories, the angels make no differentiation between Joshua and the Father in terms of who they serve.  The angels are Joshua's angels and he is their God.  Now that the name and origin of the character are settled, on with the content! 

Theo in N118 was a sort of prototype of Joshua.  The characterizations and dialogue are off (it was a contest) but I would say that it's accurate that Andrew and Theo/Joshua did work some assignments together.  Joshua, in the form I would come to use, made his first appearance in "Man of No Reputation."  In the story, Joshua and Andrew talk much about how God's love is their focus and mission, not romantic love.  We also learn there that Joshua enjoys grape juice... though it seems he'd prefer Nazarene wine.  It's also implied there that Joshua was crucified through his wrists, not his palms.  I'm making note of this simply cause I may need to remember that for later.  Another point in that story that's only briefly mentioned: Joshua is not necessarily all-knowing when he takes human form again.  Rule of thumb: If only Joshua and an angel are interacting, Joshua is all-knowing and in his divine form.  If humans are involved, Joshua has reclaimed his human form (while remaining divine) and knows much more than he did during the Incarnation but is not omniscient.  Well, technically he still is but it's like he puts that aside for a time... he's not consciously aware of knowing everything and thus can still experience surprise.  "Origins"  is the tale of the parents of Vincent Wells, Cora and Lor Cleary.  Because Cora and Lor are both devout Christians, there's some theological and Christological discussion between the two.  In fact, Cora relies heavily on Scripture to get through to Lor when he begins to doubt his own worth.  After Andrew brings Cora Home, she sees "the One who had held them all together" which could very easily be Joshua.  I vote yes.  ;-)  Joshua returns in "The Butterfly."  This is a much heavier story in which Andrew consoles JenniAnn when she has a sort of crisis of faith following the sexual abuse allegations in the Catholic Church.  While in the form of a butterfly, Joshua watches over the two and then resumes his human form in order to counsel Fr. Mike, a former Asterian (native Dyelander) who came to the U.S. to serve as a priest.  Josh reminds Fr. Mike of the innocent faith he had as a child and urges him to continue to lead his flock with love and devotion.  Things learned there: Andrew can't really delve into Christological discussions with his Dyeland friends as they need to be left to their own faith, it's implied that Andrew has memories of the Crucifixion though it's not stated what they are or where he was, and Joshua will speak of Jesus in the third person if the hearer doesn't know he's Jesus.  In N289, LJA's parents are a bit thrown when they find Andrew (fresh from a Christmas pageant with Jesus Christ Superstar overtones) prowling around their daughter's kitchen dressed as Jesus.  In N300, I fondly recall the times JABB has enabled me to write about Joshua.  Joshua comes to help Andrew create John's memorial Christmas ornament in the story "Love Came Down" in N344.  He also shared with Andrew a little about his own experience of grief... from both sides.  He tells Andrew about creating a memory box after Joseph's death and how, after Joshua's crucifixion, Mary kept it in memory of both of them.  The following day, after the Dyeland gang has finished decorating the tree and gone out for a snowball fight, Joshua returns.  His appearance is witnessed only by Lulu and Fawn.  He gathers all the love from the Dyelanders' memorial ornaments for John into a box of his own making.  He then sets his hand on a window and, looking out at the Dyelanders, blesses them before returning to Heaven to give John the memory box.  The next day, the Dyelanders notice the hand print on the glass.  Only later do they discover that it's actually etched into the glass.  And there it remains.  Random trivia from LCD: Joshua apparently enjoys gingerbread coffee and spice cake.  LCD marks Joshua's first known appearance in his own form to Andrew in Dyeland.  In "The Walk", set in 2003, Joshua and Sam appear in Dyeland (invisible) right after Andrew parts from Monica following her promotion.  Joshua speaks of Andrew's creation.  Both Joshua and Sam were present when Andrew was created from the same elements that make up the Fields of Gold in Dyeland.  Joshua tells Sam that Andrew's walk has always been bound up with the Dyelanders.  Joshua also reveals that, in time, Andrew will face a test with "the enemy."  He goes onto say that Satan is, in fact, frightened of Andrew.  Later that night, Andrew and JenniAnn waltz as an unseen Joshua looks on.  This prompts him to envision a future dance that takes place immediately before Andrew's big test... a test Joshua knows Andrew will pass.  I personally think Joshua is the one who left the mysterious rose in Andrew's house at the end "Tale as Old as Time" in N356.  In N362, "The Storm," the Father asks Andrew to trust Him... a request that Joshua lays claim to later (the Joshua stories do hinge on the doctrine of the Holy Trinity and in this case I like to think that the Father sent the words through the voice of the Word).  Joshua helped make the frame for the birthday gift Monica presents Andrew with in "Abide With Me".  Joshua appears towards the end of that story.  After Andrew is admitted to a hospital with traumatic brain injury following a devastating assignment as a POW in Afghanistan, Joshua comes to the angel in a dream.  Joshua shows Andrew some things he had blocked, including that Joshua himself was with Andrew for three days in which he was left in a cave to die (the captors obviously not knowing Andrew is immortal).  Joshua is the one who took Badriya, a woman Andrew befriended during that assignment, Home.  At one point, Andrew and Joshua are talking in the dreamworld and Joshua draws a superb likeness of Max in the sand.  So he can do that.  Not sure if I'll revisit that talent but I don't want to forget it.  This is also the second story ("The Butterfly" being the first) to allude to Joshua having a particular ancient lullaby he sings/hums.  As he sang Andrew to sleep, Joshua healed him of the TBI.  The story ends with a flash forward to Max's and Rose's wedding.  During the ceremony, Joshua skips stones in a pond near the church, thinking of Andrew's devotion.  He then makes the enigmatic promise that "Not even death will separate you from them [the Dyelanders], Andrew."  In N372, "Home for Christmas," LJA seems to on some level understand that Jesus healed Andrew although the angel never outright tells her that.  Later, on Christmas morning, Joshua visits Serendipity.  Andrew sees him just as another petal on his rose... now halfway turned from white to red... changes.  The two have a mysterious conversation about the rose before Andrew wishes Joshua a happy birthday.  Joshua proudly tells Andrew that he did awesome work with his assignment with Max.  He asks Andrew to tell the Dyelanders that he loves them then leaves them (although he never *really* leaves)  to their Christmas celebration.  Joshua has a very brief cameo at the end of N376 wherein we learn that he has a hand in how Annabelle comes to Andrew and JenniAnn.  Joshua. and his real life counterpart, get a shout out from me in N377.  In N379, Joshua visits Andrew on Easter morning to counsel the angel who is concerned about LJA's recent moodiness.  Joshua reveals to Andrew just how it was that JenniAnn first came to glimpse the angel of death.  Joshua visits Andrew again, two days later, in "Asking the Answer."  He answers some questions for Andrew, shares a little about how his own earthly life impacted some recent events, and lends Andrew his prayer shawl and yarmulke.  We also discover in that story that the kudzu-filled island Andrew and JenniAnn went to in their dreams while the former was in Afghanistan was actually one of Joshua's other countries.  In N381, I commented on a journal entry I wrote about watching the movie Joshua.  I went out to say a lil about Joshua's expanding role in the Dyeland stories.  In N383, I suggest lines both unlikely and likely to be spoken by Joshua in a hypothetical Dyeland finale.  In "Chava," JenniAnn ponders if the Holocaust might have been avoided had Christianity done a better job of preserving the image of a Jewish Jesus.  However, she also has to consider the possibility that it wouldn't have mattered and that Jesus Himself may have come to harm had He lived in Nazi Germany.  Later Andrew, as he recites Psalm 23, wears the prayer shawl and yarmulke that Joshua lent to him.  That same night, he recalls seeing Joshua at Auschwitz, mourning for those who lost their lives.  Joshua reveals that he had been using the name "Leon" for a time.  In the present, Joshua makes a brief appearance to the angel.  In a flash forward in "Possibilities," Andrew tells Vincent about the answer Joshua gave when he and JenniAnn asked him which of them was Beauty and which the Beast.  Vincent wishes Joshua were with them as they confront a potential loss.  He, of course, is.  Andrew alludes to Joshua in his answer to question 6 in N386.  Jesus' death informs some of what I write in the "Can angels die?" rule found in N387.  In addition, the rule that follows explains a little bit more about how I write Joshua.  In N388, I write about how penning "Abide With Me" is one of my favorite JABB memories... partly cause it brought Joshua back.  Joshua also figures into the other list I wrote about JABB things I'm looking forward to.  In N389, I make a not so veiled reference to Jesus when writing about "Holy of Holies."  In "Ivy," Joshua himself comes to fill in Andrew regarding his assignment, Ivy, a young girl who is the victim of bullying and a self-righteous, unforgiving grandmother.  Joshua describes the assignment to Andrew as something of a puzzle with multiple pieces that the angel has to put together.  The first piece is a striking Pieta sculpture.  From there, Joshua continues to drop in on Andrew... and utilize his woodcarving skills for the benefit of unsuspecting humans.  Later, Joshua imparts a new gift to Andrew and gives Ivy a vision of his own past in hopes of helping her face her present circumstances.  Joshua's hair stick making gets alluded to in N392.  In N393, Andrew imagines what it'll be like when Joshua arrives and is able to spend time with him and the Dyelanders.  LJA, meanwhile, ponders how Andrew reminds her of Jesus.  The following day, as everyone is gathered in the Fields of Gold for Andrew's birthday, Joshua changes another of the rose's petals from white to red.  This just in: Joshua saves!  See JABB 394/CABB 19.  In "The Coffee Summit" Joshua, with the help of Tess, gets JenniAnn and Monica to confront their issues.  We also get a glimpse of his activities during Monica's temptation and his time as "Jack" prior to Monica's promotion.  He also orchestrates a very important reunion.  A couple of the questions in N395 involve Joshua and his history with Dyeland.  In N396, Andrew is momentarily spooked when he realizes LJA is going to be doing Joshua's JCS make-up and that the others will all be helping, too, with what basically amounts to re-enacting Joshua's death.  Later that night (Halloween), Joshua briefly meets up with Andrew... dressed up as a lion... to offer encouragement.  In N398, Andrew includes his excitement about Joshua's pending arrival in his Thanksgiving letter to God.  In addition, LJA addresses her letter to the Trinity and Ivy's is addressed to Yeshua.  Monica's is co-addresses to "Jack."  In "The Truth," Owen shares a very special dream he once had about Jesus.  The next day, Joshua gets a heartfelt earful from LJA.  Still later, Monica discovers that Joshua and Arthur have a little face-to-face history though the latter doesn't know it.  N400 begins with a flashback to 21 AD in which a distraught Yeshua is mourning his Abi who passed away the month before.  Maryam tells her son the story of a rosebush her husband once gave her.  Touched, Yeshua reaches out for the shriveled rosebud his mother cherishes and... it blooms back to life, a reminder of his power over death and the promise of resurrection.  Almost 2000 years later, on Christmas Day, Joshua and his parents go to Manhattan where Joshua is renting an apartment in the lead up to his assignment with Andrew and Co.  The family settles in to enjoy their tradition of Maryam and Yosef telling Joshua the story of his birth.  Later, they attend Mass together and meet up with Fr. Mike.  In N401, Joshua actually has a New Year's resolution: to not accidentally give himself away and to master a three-point shot in basketball.  So there's that.  There's a shout-out to Joshua and Jesus Himself at the end of my goals list in N402.  In N403, I wrote about how I learned from TBAA the importance of sticking to one's writing vision no matter what others want.  For this reason, I accepted that it was important to me to start including Joshua in stories.  If that limits readership... so be it.  I need him in the stories.  N404 finds Joshua fully incarnated and living in Manhattan.  While there, he helps Andrew and JenniAnn rescue baby Annabelle who becomes their daughter.  He and Andrew also have a significant moment in the hospital chapel while Belle is recuperating.  Fr. Mike keeps Joshua company while he waits for the Superstar production to begin.  During their hospital stay with Annabelle, Andrew and LJA have a brief but important talk about Jesus.  In N405, Andrew is preparing to go meet with Joshua about preparing the theatre stage.  In my part of that newsletter, I write about loving spending time with Joshua, his parents, and his cousin as I write.  In N406, I explain why the "Jesus Taboo" exists on TBAA but not in Dyeland stories.  In that same section, I also explain my shift away from TBAA's Zack and to Jack/Joshua.  In N407, I suggest that the Dyelanders might stage Godspell just to keep Joshua physically with them.  Sigh...  In N411, I explain how my irritation with elements of "Zack" directly influenced Joshua's appearances and behavior in some Dyeland stories.  Adam, Andrew, and Arthur all mention prized possessions and memories from/of Joshua in their questionnaires in N413.  In N414, Monica lists the statue Joshua gave her and Arthur as one of her favorite possessions.  Ditto for LJA with her tea chest.  Violeta follows suit mentioning gifts Joshua made her.  All three write fondly of their time with him during JCS.  Several Joshua-centric items make it onto a list of my favorite memories from JABB's 16th year in N415. They include: Jack in "The Coffee Summit," his arrival in New York, and writing and finally finishing "The Carpenter."  N416 gives a brief history of Dyeland which quotes Joshua.  He's also mentioned in a couple of the Androoler U class descriptions.  In "The Carpenter," Joshua is earthbound (by choice, naturally) for several weeks.  He's cast as Jesus in a production of Jesus Christ Superstar that Andrew's directing which co-stars Dyelanders, angels, and some new folks.  During the course of the show's run, Joshua seeks to heal the hearts and spirits of several people in the cast, crew, and audience.  Throughout the show's run, Joshua befriends those he's working with and hopes that they'll come to recognize who he is and how much he loves them.  He also keeps up with his carpentry, fosters new relationships, encourages existing relationships, does a couple healings, preaches, and generally keeps really, really, really busy.  Flashbacks and remembrances feature events from the Incarnation including Yeshua's Crucifixion and Resurrection.  In "Someone who Urgently Needs a Shelf," Yosef recalls a time, during their childhoods, when Yeshu and Yohannan wreaked havoc upon his and Maryam's house when they attempted to redecorate and cook dinner.  In "The King," the saga continues.  On Easter, Joshua creates a portal in St. Genesius' blue room and the cast who were unaware of Dyeland are introduced to it.  Joshua spends the next week tying things up and bettering the lives of cast and crew members.  At the end of the story, there are a series of epilogues which highlight Joshua's continued involvement in their lives.  N417/CABB 20 contains a story entitled "Child of Laughter" which is about Isaaq, a friend of Yeshua and his family.  When Yeshua feels left out as a little boy, Isaaq teaches him to juggle.  Thus begins a friendship that stretches into eternity.  Joshua offers some solid work-related advice in N418.  Joshua, naturally, sends Andrew birthday greetings in N419, reminding him that he's precious and loved.  Joshua sends Adam birthday greetings in JABB 421/CABB 21.  N422 ends with a reference to everyone's favorite Lion.  Naturally, Joshua makes it onto my "things/people I'm thankful for" list in N423.  In "New Beginnings," Sean learns the truth about Joshua during his first visit to Dyeland and receives a note and gift from the carpenter.  "A Stor Mo Chroi" is set in two different years: 2014 and 2037.  In 2014, Joshua helps Liam get on the subway and find Arthur's apartment.  Liam later names his beloved plush dog after Joshua.  We also learn that sometime prior to that, Joshua took Aggie Everly Home.  In 2037, Belle and Liam are both longing to hear from him.  In N424, a bunch of the Dyelanders and their friends write Joshua a very inclusive thank you note.  In N425, you get three sips of your drink and Froot Loops if Joshua appears in a JABB newsletter or story.  In N426, Joshua, his parents, and John all return to Dyeland to celebrate Christmas with their JCS friends.  Joshua and Co. take part in some charitable shopping, festive meals, a Christmas show at St. Genesius' and more.  Joshua also helps get Andrew's tree... the Family Tree... updated.  Joshua is mentioned in a few of the Dyelanders' and friends' New Year's resolutions in N427.  In the same issue, I resolved to bring him back to the stories somehow.  In N428, I share an old journal entry where I wrote about Theo... little knowing how big of a role Joshua would come to play!  In N430, the JCS cast and crew rehearses and Peter feels a bit nervous about everyone seeing him dressed as Joshua for the first time.  In the days leading up to Valentine's several of the Friends take time to remember Joshua who ends up showing up at the annual party, invisibly, with two special guests.  In flashbacks in "Friend of My Soul," Andrew repeatedly reminds himself that Joshua wants him in Dyeland, spending time with the people there including LJA.  In modern day, Andrew and JenniAnn pray to him after a wrenching assignment and Joshua contributes to a family dinner at Willowveil.  As always, Joshua is on lots of people's minds in "The Never-Ending Road," particularly Kemara and Sean as they prepare for their wedding.  Kemara has a prophetic dream involving Joshua.  In "Here is My Heart," Kemara and Sean pray to Joshua and the Father before their wedding.  While there invisibly (mostly) throughout the Mass and reception, Joshua appears to Kemara and Sean outside their beach house after they leave the reception.  In N431, Joshua gets mentioned in both my and Andrew's annual addresses.  Unsurprisingly, we were both very happy to have him around that year.  In N432, Kim sends her love and thanks to Joshua.  In the same issue, I list various tropes in Dyeland stories, a number of which involve Joshua.  In N433, I describe rejected Dyeland stories idea.  The most important rejection?  Leaving Joshua as a cameo-only character.  Glad I didn't do that!  In N434, I explain a bit how Joshua's portal in Dyeland works.  In "Morning Has Broken," Kemara and Sean spend a good deal of time thinking about and talking to an unseen Joshua as they consider the possibility of being expectant parents.  On Easter Sunday, Joshua Himself shows up to celebrate with them and the Friends.  Joshua writes a short but very sweet message to his Ama in N436.  In an old journal entry quoted in N437, I mentioned Fr. Girzone's Joshua along with a paper I was writing about the Real Deal.  In "A Graduation Surprise," Joshua makes good on his promise to celebrate Ivy's graduation with her and brings a big surprise for her and Violeta.  In "Glad Tidings, Part I," Kemara and Sean are still exultant over Joshua's news that they're expecting twins.  Things become more complicated when they learn the girl likely has Downs.  Maryam and Yosef arrive to counsel and console them and share a little bit about their own feelings as they parented Yeshua.  In N438, I thanked my laptop for enabling me to share Joshua stories.  In "Shadowlands," Joshua pays Reuel a visit in El-Chanan and asks him to help Andrew who will be targeted by two demons, Nen and Tzila.  The following day, when JenniAnn is shot, Joshua brings her to his island to decide whether to go back to Earth or continue onto Heaven.  Joshua later returns to Dyeland to help welcome Andrew home after he confronts Nen and Tzila in Sheol.  And, throughout, loads of the Friends and the others pray to Joshua for help, healing, and comfort.  One of the answers in N439's Father's Day word search.  In N440, the Angel of Angels urges Ivy to take her concerns to Joshua if she ever needs words to combat someone bothering Violeta.  Max also mentions him in his own letter to the Angel.  In N441, I list figuring Joshua into stories post-"Carpenter" as among my highlight of the year.  I also thank John for enabling me to write about Joshua.  Unsurprisingly, Joshua figures into my chart defining anam caraism in N442.  In "Hope and Healing," the Friends take the vacation that Joshua told them to.  After returning from North Carolina, Andrew, JenniAnn, and Belle share a vision featuring Joshua encouraging the couple.  In JABB 444/CABB 22, we learn that Joshua talked to Monica and Tess after the events of "An Unexpected Snow."  It also reveals that it's likely a few more people will learn about Joshua's identity.  Naturally, Joshua sent Andrew nostalgic, loving birthday wishes in N445.  In "Triad," Joshua helps Adam deal with his emotions on Kylie's and Clay's wedding night.  The next morning, he sees the three off on their honeymoon.  In N446, I posit that a rather spooky occurrence may have been angelic intervention keeping me from screwing up the Dyeland story in a way that woulda prevented Joshua's inclusion.  Eeek.  In JABB 447/CABB 23, Adam talks about how Joshua is involved in his current work helping recuperating angels and I share a bit about Joshua's role in the Adam-Kylie-Clay triad.  In "Forever and Always," Peter uses one of Joshua's promises to soothe Emma after a nightmare.  At the end, Joshua makes a brief appearance at a showing of Camelot at St. Genesius'.  In N448, I tell about how Stephen King's John Coffey and other "spooky sources" inspired a bit of Joshua.  The story there also reveals that LJA has been transcribing Joshua's, his parents', and John's stories.  In "Glad Tidings, Part II," Joshua comforts Kemara and Sean when they receive troubling news about their unborn son, Ian.  Later, Joshua is there to celebrate the twins' birth.  Joshua figures into a couple of the Anam Cara Chronicles taglines and emails in N449.  Shares what he's thankful for in N450... naturally, others are quite thankful to him.  In N451, LJA interviews Andrew about Christmas favorites and memories... obviously Joshua figures in, as well as in one of the tropes discussed there.  In N452, Joshua returns to Dyeland to celebrate his birthday.  There's a lot of fun, love, and good times but Joshua also has a heavy heart because he's preparing for a difficult assignment with the Friends involving human trafficking.  Got mentioned in several of the Friends' New Year's resolutions and hopes in N453.  Andrew tells the Friends how proud Joshua is of them in his State of the Dyelanders Address in N454.  In N456, Joshua comforts Rose and Max as they're remembering Alan Rickman.  Elsewhere in that issue, Metatron clarifies something for Andrew and JenniAnn on behalf of Joshua and the Father.  Joshua comes up in a couple of the Angel of Angels letters in N457.  In honor of Easter, N459 contains a list of tropes that involve Joshua.  In "And Then There Were Four," Kemara and Sean discuss how to incorporate Joshua into Ian's and Joy's baptism.  Sorted into Slytherin House in N460.  Figures into a few of the Earth Day and Arbor Day trivia questions in N461.  Inspires a couple hypothetical political platforms in N462 and figures into the Mother's Day quiz.  Vincent, Max, and Rose all mention Joshua and his gifts to them in their questionnaires in N463.  In N464, I share about how some TBAA episodes impacted how and when I include Joshua in stories.  I also go into how I incorporate other biblical folks.  Joshua is mentioned in a few father-related tropes discussed in N465 which also contains an excerpt from the story of his birth.  Joshua declares himself free to eat Froot Loop parfaits in N466.  I counted up how many JABB files contain reference to Joshua in N467.  In N469, my younger self contemplates finding a replacement for my Jesus movies hobby.  Later, I go off about how the Zack character was portrayed in the finale.  Obviously I like "my" Joshua better and proceeded to discuss that further.  Featured in the ABCs of the Dyeland Stories found in N470.  In N471, Sean thanks Joshua as he recalls his first date with Kemara.  N472 contains a certificate that the St. Genesius crowd created for Andrew in part in thanks for introducing them to Joshua.  Per Adam in JABB 473/ CABB 24, Joshua and Co. are periodically appearing to the Friends as of Oct. 2016.  Figures into a majority of the Halloween tropes listed in N474.  N475 features the first part of "Chrysalis" which finds Joshua building and preparing his team of Friends for the work ahead of them.  The Eighteen Things for Which the Friends and Dyelanders are Thankful list in N476 includes lots of gratitude to Joshua.  I also write a bit about insertin Joshua into stories there.  An answer to the Christmas Traditions Matching Game in N477.  He also figures into the revised drinking game found there.  In their Hanukkah card in N478, the Levines mention their excitement about celebrating the holidays with Joshua.  The Wilsons also write of Joshua in their Christmas card.  “Chrysalis” covers Joshua's work with the Friends to aide human trafficking survivors.  Along with seeing to it that they receive necessary services, Joshua hopes that all of the Chrysalis Court's inhabitants will come to recognize him and allow him to heal and comfort them.  In Pia's “Sinners and Saints,” Joshua is mentioned as counseling Samuel about Eilish.  In N479, Maryam and Yosef share the story of Yeshua's 4th birthday while the Friends reflect on treasured Christmas memories.  One of the characters I tend to over-analyze per N480.  Figures into a trope or two discussed in N481.  In “These are My Dreams,” Sean begins to wonder at the deeper meaning behind the firetruck ornament that Joshua gave him.  Joshua joins Marty/Metatron for a viewing of JCS.  One of the three Valentine's vignettes in N483 is about Tzipora, Yeshua's former crush, and her husband, Micah, trying to cope with the news of his crucifixion.  Yeshua sends the couple a very important, poignant message.  In the second story, Joshua envisions a scene from Andrew's and JenniAnn's future with Avi.  Aiyla and Daisy mention Joshua a few times in the third story.  In N484, I answered a question about how I write Joshua.  Shares his favorite ways to relax in N486.  In N487, Metatron witnesses Yeshua's crucifixion.  In the present, Joshua tells Metatron/Marty that, on that day, he helped start a great miracle.  Joshua's and Maryam's relationship is mirrored in some of the motherly tropes found in N489.  In N490, a bored, younger me apparently imagined what it would be like if Jesus showed up at my Halloween party.  Fun!  Younger me also had a bit of a flip-out over The Passion of the Christ there.  Joshua sends JenniAnn a sign in N492.  N493 takes a rather gnarly look at a question about Joshua's blood.  In N494, I share about how meaningful it is for me to write about Joshua, Maryam, and Yosef.  The Friends thank Joshua and the Father for their furry friends per N495.  In N496, I suggest the Friends visit West Bend, IA to see a grotto featuring statues of Joshua, Maryam, Yosef, and Michael.  Figures into some of the work-related tropes listed in N497.  N498 suggests a birthday gift he might give Andrew.  He's mentioned in the JABB history test found in N500.  N501 contains an old paper I wrote about Spiritualism which offers a few bits about how Christianity and Christology were utilized in the movement.  He's mentioned in a "spooky" trope discussed in N502.  Joshua figures into several of the Friends/Dyelanders updates in N505.  In N506, a flashback show Yeshua and Yohannan celebrating an early Christmas together.  In the present, they journey to Willowveil to celebrate with the Friends.  A suggested organizational-themed New Year's resolution for him can be found in N507.  In N508, Andrew answers a question about talking to his assignments about Jesus/Joshua.  I went onto explain the Jesus Taboo and why I nixed it for Dyeland

brought into the fold.  He figures into one of the parental-themed tropes discussed in N516.  In N519, I mention an upcoming Dyeland story in which Fr. Mike has a disagreement with another priest and it ends up impacting the Friends and Joshua. That newsletter also contains a paper on Catholic teaching that I wrote in high school.  Obviously, a lot of it involves Jesus.  A number of the tropes discussed in N520 relate to Joshua and his dealings with the Friends.  In N521, via a virtual tour of my house, I shared some Joshua-inspired decor in honor of JABB's 20th.  In "Immortality," Joshua pays Josef and his household a visit after Daisy has a nightmare.  He and Josef spar over whether or not the latter is deserving of being cured.  In N523, I briefly mention Joshua's arrival at St. G's and how it ties into my love of theatre.  Some of the tropes discussed in N525 involve Andrew's relationship with God.  In the story preview in N526, Fr.

Joshua visiting DC which became "Remembrance."  In N536, I wrote about the importance of Joshua's revelation scene with JenniAnn in "The Carpenter" to the continuation of JABB and the Dyeland stories and also about how vital Joshua's character was for me following John Dye's passing.  In the "Checking In" segment of N537, JenniAnn wishes that Joshua was there to help her comfort Andrew after a nightmare.  He shows up for coffee with the Chandler-Darcy clan.  In the "Sacred" part, Joshua looks on as Andrew, JenniAnn, Belle, and Wahkan visit.  He thinks about how their effort to help Wahkan's

with Joshua who has been working as a handyman at a mosque.  He's returned because of his heartache over a recent spate of hate crimes perpetrated in places of worship.  Comes up in a couple of the

Messiah," showing up as a handyman at the Manhattan Mosque.  He reconnects with the Friends and together, with the Azizi and Khalid families, they face the aftermath of an act of violence.  In N559, Joshua again celebrates Christmas with the Friends.  He happily welcomes the Azizi and Khalid families to the festive fun.  In N560, I renew my hope of writing a story about Kellie, Marty, and Joshua in the wake of Jesse's death.  In N561, Joshua figures into several of the tropes I examine.  In N562, I briefly write about The Chosen and its portrayal of Jesus which reminds me of Joshua.  I also talk about Jesus and Joshua whilst discussing a song I chose for a playlist there.  In N563, I share reasons I love writing Dyeland stories and writing for Joshua is definitely up there!  In N564, when JenniAnn expresses some mild displeasure with Joshua for not letting Andrew go to Paris, the angel is compelled to reveal that Joshua planned to let him go years back.  Andrew chose to stay with JenniAnn.  The two also talk about Joshua and how he feels about JenniAnn's worrying.  In N565, I answer a question about how I write Joshua and the ways in which the show The Chosen might impact that process.  In N567, I mention that since they can't perform JCS during the COVID pandemic, the Friends stream Joshua's version.  In N568, I list nature-themed tropes in Dyeland stories, a few of which

Hays Code might have changed Dyeland stories.  N571 contains a draft of the first few scenes of a story I'm working on in which the Friends deal with the COVID pandemic.  Joshua appears in it.  Figures into a number of tropes in N572.  In N573, Joshua is on his way to get some froyo with JenniAnn and Belle when he sees a friend of his being harassed.  Naturally, Joshua does not let that happen.  Later, I write about how it's sometimes difficult to write for Joshua since I am not, obviously, omnipotent.  In N574, I share how differences in how I write Dyeland versus what we're used to from TBAA means... more Joshua!   In N575, I write about how including Joshua helped JABB continue after John Dye's death and answer a question about writing for him.  Joshua is discussed in some tropes covered in N577.  Joshua briefly appears in N578, escorting Chadwick Boseman Home.  Later in the story, other characters seek guidance and comfort from Joshua.  In "God in the Gloom," Joshua

John's) activities in NYC.  In N579, he shared a fact about Andrew in honor of his observed birthday.  In N581, Joshua sends Andrew home after a series of assignments with COVID patients.  Later, he watches over Andrew and JenniAnn and sends words of comfort to a sleeping Andrew.  In N582, in honor of All Saints Day, I re-ran some story scenes involving saints.  Joshua/Yeshua was featured, naturally.  In N583, I float the idea of a possible retreat at least partly themed around Joshua and also brainstorm how I might handle him in the annual Christmas story.  Mentioned in a number of random tropes I covered in N584.  A possible answer in the Christmas wish list matching game in N585.  In N586, the story opens with a scene set on Yeshua's 33rd birthday.  In the present day, Joshua

will thus allow her to stalk Andrew during her after life.  In N587, I shared my 2020 JABB highlights.  Naturally, a couple involved Joshua.  In N591, Joshua pays a visit to the home of Janice, his supervisor in the COVID ward, to offer encouragement and a big dose of truth.  In N592, after adding a slew of material to the web site, I did a Q and A with myself to process everything.  Joshua

and John enjoying an Easter Sunday in their apartment building.  Joshua figures into a few of the tropes covered in N595.  In N596, Violeta asks JenniAnn a number of questions about romance, sex, and anam caras... many of which leave JenniAnn wishing she could question Joshua for guidance.  In N597, when Andrew admits to fretting if their friends ever wonder about his and JenniAnn's relationship, she points out that they know Joshua approves of them.  In N598, I begin a look back at my favorite Dyeland story moments.  Joshua figures into several.  In N599, I continue to look back at my favorite Dyeland moments including a head canon concerning Joshua's family.  In N600, I finish out my look back at the Dyeland stories with several Joshua scenes.  In N601, Crowley hurriedly

several of the Four Loves tropes discussed in N616.  In N618, Joshua hosts Andrew's and JenniAnn's children at his place in El-Chanan and supports Max, Violeta, and Shelby as they confront their feelings following their parents' demonic attack.  In N619, I briefly touch on why Josua was brought into the Dyeland stories.  In N620, I look into several random tropes.  Joshua figures into several of them.  In N622, I answered some questions from Sierra for a story-based edition of "Ask a JABB Co-Founder," including whether or not Joshua would ever stop visiting the Friends and how he engages with non-Christian societies. N623 contains volume one of my Dyeland story playlist.  A handful of them were chosen because of Joshua.   In N626, in a Pride Month edition of "Ask a JABB Co-Founder," I discuss how I write Joshua's interactions with queer people and how it relates to how I view the actual Jesus.  Some of the forty things I've learned thanks to JABB, found in N628, naturally involve Joshua.  In N629, I plug "The Shepherd" and Joshua's return to the JCS production.  In "Liberty," Andrew and JenniAnn have an emotional and difficult discussion about abortion and the latter wishes she'd asked Joshua what he really thinks about it.  In "The Shepherd," Joshua returns to St. G's to play Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar.  On top of comforting the Friends, he prepares to reunite with someone from his past and deal with a hateful church.  In N630, I discuss St. G's changes to JCS and Joshua's role in them.  In N632, I address how trusting in Joshua/God helps Andrew in turn trust Crowley and Ed.  Figures into a few spooky tropes discussed in N635.  Though unnamed, figures into the holiday prep plans guessing game in N637.  In N639, we learn Joshua assigned Ed and Steve to Raphael.  He helps Ed prepare a very import gift for Steve.  In N640, I explain how being close with Joshua and knowing the Twelve and others might make it difficult for the Friends to really get into The Chosen.  In N642, I shared about how John Dye inspired every Dyeland story, even moments that Andrew wasn't involved in like Joshua and JenniAnn in Cora's kitchen and Crowley nestled near Yeshua's tomb.  I also cover some love-themed tropes, a few of which involve Joshua.  In N643, Joshua discovers that an Instagram account has given him a new title.  In another story, Steve recalls Joshua's toast at his and Ed's wedding.  In N646, I share some things I wish I could change about the Dyeland/Asteriana stories... a handful of which involve Joshua.  In N647, I explain a bit about how I chose to adapt his name for the Dyeland/Asteriana stories.  In N648, I briefly discuss how writing Joshua in "The Advocate" has proven a bit challenging.  In 649, I briefly touch on how Joshua inspires the diversity in the stories.  Joshua comes up in several random tropes discussed in N652.  In N654, I wrote a bit about why I still write stories, including because Joshua helps me cope with the continued reality of religious extremists.  In N655, I consider where Joshua and his parents would land on the whole Barbenheimer phenomenon.  I decided they saw Barbie at Maryam's request.  In N656, I give some details on how I think various characters dress, including Joshua.  In N659, in honor of Andrew's birthday, I shared which story scenes featuring him are among my favorites.  Andrew and Yeshua meeting on the day of the Crucifixion topped the list.  He figures into a number of spooky tropes discussed in N661.  In N662, I discuss how Joshua and Yeshua differ.  Joshua also figure into a wacky St. G's theory.   In "The Advocate," Joshua and the Friends work together to protect a defector from the christofascist church that has attacked St. G's.  While keeping a low profile, Joshua attempts to heal his relationship with her.  In N663, I share some upcoming story plans involving him.  N664 mentions Joshua supporting Christina during the trials of her rapist and her former parents.  In N665, Joshua surreptitiously plays a song for Andrew and JenniAnn to dance to while they're on a romantic Christmastime date in her hometown.  In N666, Joshua rings a bell for JenniAnn to hear every time a demon returns to Heaven.  In N667, I discuss under what circumstances an angel might tell an assignment that Joshua is God or share some other Christian message.  I also touch on how the apostles' wives fit into Yeshua's ministry.  In N669, Maryam and Yosef briefly reunite after Yeshua's resurrection and Yosef recalls Yeshua coming to Sheol and appearing to him and Yohannan and his parents among others.  In the second vignette there, Jamie learns that Gwen accepted Joshua's offer to come back to Earth.  In the third, Andrew and Crowley have a chat about questions Crowley is struggling with since Joshua went Home.  In N670, Joshua figures into my answers about character redemption and revisiting "The Advocate."  In N671, I discuss options for Andrew's future and what impact Joshua may have.  In N672, in honor of Easter, I answered some questions involving Joshua including when he created certain angels, whether he'll stop appearing, and more.  In N674, unsurprisingly, he and his Dad come up in my discussion of anam caras.  In N675, Andrew thinks of Maryam and Joshua and knows that he and JenniAnn and their kids will be together forever.  In N676, Joshua is among the characters whose thoughts on Bridgerton I consider.

Naturally, that's not the only story idea Joshua figures into.  Mentioned on the first edition of the Dyelanders', Asterians', and Friends' Pet Inventory in N681. He also offers a cleaning tip.  In N682, with an assist from John, Emma asks Joshua to pick up some tampons for her.  Of course, he obliges and provides some needed info.  Unsurprisingly, Joshua figures into a number of random tropes covered in N683.  In N688, Joshua shows up at Willowveil for an extended stay after the U.S. presidential election.   In N690, I answer some questions touching on Joshua's earthly life.  In N691 JenniAnn goes to check on Joshua and has a vision of a very different sort of life for him.  In N692, as I make plans for 2025, I mention a couple of Joshua story lines.  In N693, I cover some themed tropes and, as per usual, Joshua figures into several.  In one vignette in N695, Joshua reunites with an old friend.  In another story, Maryam's and Crowley's relationships with Joshua are touched on.   In N697, I was pretty stressed so shared a re-run but also, very briefly, my hopes for what Andrew and JenniAnn did to mark his 25th anniversary in Dyeland/Asteriana. I hope Joshua sent them to Paris for the weekend.  Joshua figures into some of my favorite musical moments in the stories as shared in N698.  In N700, Belle is quick to point out that Joshua is the exception when Andrew says no man is perfect.  The angel readily agrees.  In N701, I briefly touch on how Joshua's near-omnipotence can making writing too far into the future difficult.  His relationship with the angels is also discussed.   In N703, I answer a question about whether the Gospel-era characters are surprised by how Joshua interacts with queer people.  Short answer: no.  N704 is divided into two parts.  In the first, Joshua's autograph is featured in a jigsaw and in the second he steps in to finish an assignment that Andrew started.  N705 contains a discussion of politics and I look into how I think Joshua might be involved and how knowing him impacts how the Friends engage politically.  He also comes up in the discussion of disability tropes there.  In "Shooting Star," Joshua returns to Willowveil to lend support as Andrew battles depression.  Later, he sets him on a new path with some familiar faces.  Joshua figures into a few of the work-related tropes featured in N709.  In N710, I write about missing Joshua with not writing quite as much as well as delve a bit into his role in Andrew's and JenniAnn's relationship.  N711 contains a brief write-up about how Andrew spent his "47th" birthday with JenniAnn, their kids, and friends and received a gift from Joshua.  In N713, I answer a question about whether I think the Apostles ever get jealous of Joshua's relationship with the Friends.  In the story contained there, Joshua splits a caramel apple with Vincent and chats with him.   Figures into a couple relationship-themed tropes in N715.   In N716, Friends share their favorite Christmas books and, unsurprisingly, Joshua comes up a few times.  In the "A Visit with Santa" portion of N717, Loreena and Christina go on a fateful visit to the mall where they discuss Joshua.  "The Spirit of the Forest" segment, while non-canonical, does feature Joshua comforting a traumatized man.  Also in N717, Andrew put together a playlist to welcome 2026 with some tracks inspired by Joshua.   In the "Theotokos" portion of N717, a question from Yoninah prompts Maryam to reflect during the first Christmas following Yeshua's death and resurrection.  In spite of all the pain, she would still say yes to being his mother.  In the "Silver" portion of N717, during his first Christmas season post-redemption, Joshua takes Yehuda on a series of healing Christmastime errands.  Joshua also appears briefly in the "A Child is Born" section. In N718, he is mentioned in my Stranger Things finale-inspired top eleven lists that also touch on the eventual Dyeland/Asteriana finale story. In N721, Maren is the star of one of the vignettes in which she and Joshua have a heart-to-heart as she comes to terms with her toxic evangelical Christian upbringing during Ed’s and Steve’s engagement party. He makes her a special gift. In N722, Joshua comes up in discussions of a number of fairy tale-themed tropes. Joshua gets a few references in my Irish-influenced playlist in N723. In N725, we learn what Joshua’s most and least favorite cleaning tasks are.

Joshua's most often used phrases are variations of "Never forget, I'm always with you.  Always." and "I love you."  He refers to the Father as exactly that or, sometimes, Dad.  An important thing to remember about Joshua is that he's omnipresent.  So his appearing in Dyeland isn't a reflection of favoritism towards Dyeland or anyone in it.  Rather, it's extremely possible that Joshua is simultaneously in Dyeland, Manhattan, Lima, Seoul, London, etc., etc. all while being in Heaven and, well, everywhere.  (N408, 409, 468, 504, 545, 589, 702, 726)   *Joshua  *Yeshua

Joshy- My/JenniAnn's dog (in both reality and Dyeland).  Doesn't like Andrew.  Appears in N153.  Writes part of N172 for me during my hiatus.  He's ambivalent about John Dye but seems to like Andrew.  He hopes if he ever meets Monica she'll share her mocha with him but is a bit wary of Tess.  In a journal entry found in N284, I recall getting Joshy!  Fictional Josh returns in N289 when LJA's parents come to visit her for Christmas... he still doesn't like Andrew.  In N362 I mention the real Josh's ill health.  Sadly, he passed away a month later.  It's nice to know he's immortalized here.  Big thanks to those of you JABBers who supported and prayed during Josh's last months.  Lovely, adorable Joshy is mentioned in an old journal entry I shared in N381.  (N176)

Josiah Lewis- He was a farmer who lived in Shiloh, Massachusetts in the year 1651 when Andrew was brought there on assignment as told in "For Thou Art with Me" (N194).  He was then-caseworker Eben's assignment.  Josiah is also the father of Hope Lewis, Andrew's assignment in the same issue.  He provides lodging to Andrew and Eben during the course of their assignment.  Both angels find themselves very attached to the man and his daughter. 

"The Journalist"- A favorite TBAA episode. It's watched during a sleepover in N87. In N117 the JABB authors and their Magic 8 Ball swoon over Andrew in this episode. In N135 a JABB member calls the Crisis Hot line because a video with this "The Pact" and "The Violin Lesson" on it gets stuck in her VCR.  N159 features a note from the Wittenbergs, Andrew's assignments in that ep.  The famous stair scene inspires the saying "gone to the stairs" in N164.  Inspiration for a scarecrow creation in N177 Opt 1.  The famed stairs scene is alluded to in N198.  Recalled in the "200 Things I Have Learned from JABB" list found in N200.  Jess, Liz, and myself wrote a Dyeland-set conversational piece about our fictional counterparts and Andrew watching this episode in N206.  Liz mentions this episode in her lists of favorite John Dye memories and lessons she's learned from him in N211.  I confess to watching this while wearing a princess dress in N224.  In N226, I again lament Monica's lack of attention to Andrew in this episode.  I recall a time when I was not obsessed with this episode in N251.  The events from this episode influence a couple of Dyeland Olympic events found in N253.  N255 contains the usual dismay at Monica's leaving Andrew to cry alone in this episode.  This episode is alluded to in the top ten in N259.  Figures into one of the party games from Andrew's birthday found in N282.  I, quite reasonably, think about this episode whilst watching a real eclipse as described in N284.  In N300, I recall viewing this episode and writing about it with other JABBers.  N330 offers a glimpse of how we might have chosen to film this beloved episode with extra scenes...  In N355, I write briefly about the "prayer on the stairs" scene.  Watching this episode inspired me to cover a door with Andrew photos and quotes as I relayed years later in N437.  Naturally, the famous stairs scene gets written up in my Season Three poem in N491.  N493 tries to answer the recurring question of why Monica didn't support Andrew more in "The Journalist."  Naturally, this episode gets brought up in N496's eclipse-themed list.  Zelda is found in the Mother's Day crossword in N516.  In N543, I wish Andrew had had a mom during this episode.  A Wordle about the episode can be found in N552.  In N563, the Angel of Angels revisits this episode.  (N128, 151, 218, 243, 244, 250, 268, 455, 486) *journalist

Joy- Andrew's creator (N37). She was also John's bodyguard for 2 weeks in N44. Also know as Tenel Ka Chume Ta' Djo, she dwells in Halo Harbor. Reporter in N53. Guest at the party in N123, dressed as AnaMaria from “Pirates of the Caribbean.” In N566, I announced the creation of a Discord channel which Joy suggested for JABB.  (N38, 42, 54, 56)

Joy McCallum- (she/her/hers)  Sean's and Kemara's daughter, Ian's twin.  Her full name is Miriam Joy McCallum but she goes by Joy.  We first learn of her pending arrival in "Morning Has Broken."  In N436, Sean writes to Kemara on behalf of Ian and Joy in honor of Mother's Day.  In "Glad Tidings, Part I," Kemara and Sean face struggles and fear when they learn that there's a high likelihood that Joy will be born with Down syndrome.  In "Forever and Always," after Belle has a seizure, Kemara asks how she would know if the twins had the same sort of epilepsy that, because there aren't convulsions, can be difficult to spot.  Gets born, along with twin brother, Ian, in "Glad Tidings, Part II"!  In N450, Kemara and Sean share their gratitude for the twins.  In N452, Joy and Ian are baptized during Christmas week and take turns playing the baby Jesus during St. G's Christmas pageant.  Andrew celebrates the twins' birth in his State of the Dyelanders Address in N454.  In "And Then There Were Four," Joy and Ian experience their first few days in the world!  Sorted into Hufflepuff House in N460.  Figured into Mother's Day trivia quiz in N462.  Joy is mentioned in a father/daughter-related trope discussed in N465.  In N471, Sean ponders how to explain his risky job as a firefighter to his little ones.  In JABB 473/ CABB 24, Adam happily reflects on how many more children are part of Dyeland life, including Joy.  Ian and Joy went as Thing 1 and Thing 2 for Halloween 2016 per N474.  Along with her twin, Joy offers cuddly encouragement in “Chrysalis.”  The twins get to spend Valentine's evening being babysat by Maryam and Yosef.  In Pia's “Sinners and Saints,” Andrew makes a video of the 2015 Halloween festivities since Sean and Kemara are at the hospital with the twins.  In N479, Sean reflects on his and Kemara's first Christmas with Joy and Ian.  Figures into a trope discussed in N481.  In “These are My Dreams,” Sean begins to wonder at the deeper meaning behind the firetruck ornament that Joshua gave him.  Joshua joins Marty/Metatron for a viewing of JCS.  Joy gets introduced to her daddy’s firehouse in “These are My Dreams.”  Poor thing also starts teething.  In N489, Kemara's advice is to accept help when needed... something she and Sean agreed to when the twins were born.  Sean and Kemara keep Warren pacified with treats as he copes with toddler twins per N495.  She's mentioned in the JABB history test found in N500.  In the story preview in N526, when Fr. Mike is wrongly dismissed from St. Mary Magdalene's by an archbishop citing the priest's problematic friends, some of the Friends try to determine who the archbishop might have meant and recall that Sean, Kemara, and the twins were among those at a recent Mass the archbishop attended.  In "Broken Hallelujahs," though they're too young to know it, the twins are present for a dramatic moment between JenniAnn and Archbishop Wesson.  Later, the twins spend Valentine's with Joshua.  In "Remembrance," JenniAnn is pained and thinks of Joy when she reads about the Nazis' Aktion T4 program at the U.S. Holocaust Museum.  Joy is mentioned in another excerpt from "The Messiah" in N557.  Figures into N570 where I examined how the Hays Code might have changed Dyeland stories.  In "God in the Gloom," Kemara and the twins make visits to Willowveil to help them cope with their separation from Sean during the COVID lockdown.  ("Hope and Healing," "The Messiah", N593, "Liberty")  *Joy

Joyce Meeks- Kemara's mother, married to David Meeks.  In "The Never-Ending Road," Joyce and David travel to Manhattan in early March 2015 for Kemara's and Sean's pending nuptials.  Joyce upsets Kemara a few times when she is overly critical of some of her daughter's decisions and actions.  Joyce is also thoroughly baffled by the Friends and frets, needlessly, over her assumption that Kemara is taking advantage of their generosity.  Thankfully, Joyce ends up seeing the light before the big day.  Joyce and David attend their daughter's wedding Mass and reception in "Here is My Heart."  In "Glad Tidings, Part I," David and Joyce return to Dyeland for a visit after learning that Kemara is pregnant.  They also make plans to move near Sean's parents so they'll be close by.  In
"Glad Tidings, Part II," Joyce and David try to get a flight to NYC in time to be there for the twins' birth but weather delays cause problems.  In N452, Joyce and David attend the twins' baptism in Dyeland and, during the ceremony, come to realize who Joshua is.  Later, he makes it easier for them to travel between Dyeland and their home in Brewster.  In "And Then There Were Four," Joyce gets to meet her new grandbabies and helps make preparations for their eventual return home. She and David babysit Ian while Kemara takes Joy to an appointment in “These are My Dreams.”  *Joyce

J.R.R. Tolkien- The Lord of the Rings movies inspire a list in N83.  His characters and ideas from The Lord of the Rings were...ahem... borrowed in N86 and in newsletters following this introduction of hobbits and elves into Dyeland. He and his character, Aragorn, are mentioned in N105.  Eilish compares Dyeland to his Middle Earth in "A Midsummer Night's Dream."  His books inspire Samuel's, Eilish's, and Henry's costumes in Pia's “Sinners and Saints.”  (N490)

Judah Azizi- (he/him/his)  In "The Messiah," Liyana learns that she's pregnant with the little guy, much to her and Ibrahim's delight.  In the epilogue, a newborn Judah is admired by his father as he sleeps.  In N559, Judah celebrates his first Christmas!  (N582)  *Judah

Karen-  Past co-president of JABB along with myself.  Her fictional/Dyeland counterparts are Bunny, Corrina, and a fictionalized Karen.  However, Bunny is also her real-life nickname so you may occasionally see the real Karen referenced as Bunny/Karen or similar.  Karen introduced herself in N4 and N9.  Resolves to continue androoling in her New Year's Resolution in N12.  She authors a short story about her fictional persona, Bunny, meeting Andrew in N85.  Writes a birthday message for JABB in N95.  Submitted a debate question in N112.  Co-wrote the story linked in N123 and suggested Andrew's Halloween costume for that same issue.  Shared some of her New Year's Resolutions in N128.  In N130 she submits several items to our "Forty One Reasons We Like John on His 41st Birthday" list.  Along with me she serves as JABB's co-president starting in N144.  Contributed to N190opt1.  I use the excuse of her being offline to introduce a new co-president of dubious Androoler-status in N191.  I announce that both Karen and I have stopped using the title "co-president" and are instead part of the JABB Sisterhood (along with Jess and Liz) in N196.  (The JABB Sisterhood idea was abandoned in January of 2007 in favor of a more inclusive idea.)  Helped me write her character, Bunny, for the Dyeland-set story in N197.  Karen recalls her favorite memories of Adam in CABB 3 and shares some advice about how to prevent suicide.  Sends a congratulations message to all of JABB for reaching N200.   She also contributed several items to the "200 Things I Have Learned from JABB" list found in N200.  She suggested the costumes Dyeland Karen and Duchess Bunny wore in N204.  Found the facts related to January 31st and 1963 for N211, the 2007 Dye Day newsletter. Karen helped write the Angel of Angels piece that appears in N215.  More of our Angel of Angels pieces appear in N221.  Karen writes an open letter to the JABB members in N251 to celebrate our 10 years together.  I recall a sign she made me in N300.  In N575, I recall the founding of JABB and my fellow co-founders: Audrey, Jarrod, and Barbara as well as the two co-presidents that followed, both named Karen.  (N72, 73, 213, 248)

Karen (Baroness)- Like Lady JenniAnn, fictional Karen is the co-president of JABB in Dyeland (like myself and and Karen are the actual, real-life co-presidents) starting in N145.  In that issue she is interviewed by Andrew about her life and plans for her tenure as JABB co-president.  Helps calm JenniAnn down and plan a barbecue for Andrew's birthday in N146.  Corrina makes cracks against her in N155.  With other Dyelanders she first meets Andrew in 2000, an event described in N159.  Has to call Poison Control after JenniAnn downs several caffeinated beverages in the ridiculous N160.  Is party to Andrew's paint inspiration in option 2 of N166.  Clues in a disoriented JenniAnn when she wakes from a scary dream in N167.  Gives her thoughts on Audrey's marriage in N174.  Dresses as Little Red Riding Hood for the Halloween party written of in N204.  Attends Andrew's Christmas party in N208.  In N514, in an excerpt from the abandoned Dyeland finale, Karen is among the Dyelanders who gather in Dyeland to bid Andrew farewell.  (N149)

Karl figures into a work-related trope featured in N709.  In N721, Karl attends Ed’s and Steve’s engagement party where he spends the time beading with Hahana and JenniAnn. (N704)  *Karl

Kathleen- (she/her/hers)  A fallen angel in several TBAAs in early seasons. While her last episode hinted that she may have returned to God's side, I needed a villain so... She crashes a party in N58. N73 contains JenniAnn's thank you to Andrew for standing up to her.  In N177 Opt 1, her presence in Dyeland leads JenniAnn to believe the Dyelanders have been possessed and she's leading them to attack Andrew.  In reality, the situation was much less sinister.  In JABB's spin on The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, Kathleen ends up playing Mary in Tess' Christmas pageant in N181.  An answer to two of the Christmas quiz questions in N261.  Redeeming her was one of my favorite JABB memories as listed in N300.  Attends a prayer vigil for Andrew in "Abide With Me".  N390 lists signs of TBAA Deficiency Syndrome which include naming your chores after demons like dubbing your laundry Kathleen.  Nets a mention in one of my Season 2 recaps in N402.  Alluded to in N420.  Hey, remember that time Kathleen seriously dated a guy?  I do!  And I briefly reflected on it here: N422.  N498 suggests a birthday gift she might give Andrew.  Her nightmare attacks on the fellow in "Lost and Found" are discussed in N520.  N684 contains a list of suggested birthday gifts from TBAA characters to Andrew, Kathleen included.  (N10, 99, 143, 563)  *Kathleen

Katrina- An awful woman who kept Daisy captive in a brothel in “Chrysalis.”

Keely- (she/her/hers)  In “Chrysalis,” she's friends with Alisa.  While both girls struggle with a drug addiction, since Keely's still a minor her parents are able to get her help.  Alisa winds up abducted by traffickers.

Keepers- One of JABB's earliest ventures. Originally started to allow Androolers, both JABB subscribers and not, to "keep" those qualities/ possessions of Andrew/John they liked best. See Newsletters 1, 2, 6 and visit The Keepers List.  In N188, Andrew is caught quoting the list in lieu of actually coming up with good qualities about himself.  Modest guy...  (N73, 99, 237)

Kelly- (she/her/hers)  Angel seen in "As It Is In Heaven."  Adopted and raised a child as her own.  In N231, Lady JenniAnn teases Andrew by telling him that her mother wanted Andrew to become a deepcover angel like Kelly and adopt a child with LJA (cause LJA's mom is desperate for grandkids... as is mine...)  I allude to her in N326 when I mention why Andrew will eventually age in Dyeland.  Though not named, Kelly is alluded to in one of the S9 sonnets in N349.  Kelly's story is considered as we discussed "angel rules" including whether they age in N369.  Attends a prayer vigil for Andrew in "Abide With Me".  Kelly's big chance to shine with the Dyeland stories comes in N404 when, as a social worker, she helps Andrew take custody of Annabelle so JenniAnn can then adopt her on their behalf.  This, understandably, brings up memories of Kelly's life with her son.  Later that day, Kelly is the first to bless Annabelle.  Andrew thanks Kelly for her presence during the trying early days with Belle in N405.  Answer to a quiz question in N407.  In N411, I explain how Kelly's episode ("As It Is in Heaven") influenced JABB.  In "The Carpenter," Kelly is stunned when she shows up at a party Andrew and LJA are throwing and discovers that Joshua is there in the flesh.  She's further thrown when she's told that he'll be playing himself in Jesus Christ Superstar.  Later, Kelly tells LJA a bit about her past with Joshua and plays hostess to Maryam and Yosef.  In "The King." Kelly spends a good deal of time in Dyeland, including attending Belle's baptism.  She and Raquel bond over having lost children to violence.  Kelly also attends the cast party at St. Genesius' were we learn she and Eli used to take dance lessons together.  In "A Stor Mo Chroi," Kelly learns what Joshua had been hinting at during the cast party: Liam.  She helps the boy transition into Dyeland life and Arthur's and Monica's care.  In N426, Kelly is among the angels who spend time in Dyeland upon Joshua's return there to celebrate Christmas.  In N430, Kelly's present for an impromptu Valentine's Eve dance at Monica's Cafe in Dyeland.  In N434, I mention wanting to write a story about Joshua helping Kelly in the wake of Jesse's death.  In "Shadowlands," it falls to Kelly and Eli to find Andrew and tell him that JenniAnn's been shot.  In N452, Kelly celebrates Christmas with the Friends, staying at Henry's place.  Cited as an example of a trope in N459.  Along with supplying some background help, Kelly befriends the mother of a human trafficking victim in “Chrysalis.”  Kelly's experience with Jesse allows her to better help and support Cassandra while her daughter is missing.  In N484, I briefly discuss how she inspired me to have Andrew be Belle's father.  Figures into some of the work-related tropes listed in N497.  In N514, in an excerpt from the abandoned Dyeland finale, Kelly arrives to counsel Andrew who is about to adopt a baby.  Kelly is found in the Mother's Day crossword in N516.  In N533, Kelly hosts Joshua and several carollers at her apartment building.  She helps Joshua reconnect with a former recipient of his healing.  In N535, I mention wanting to get around to writing the story of how Kelly and Joshua made amends following Jesse's death.  In N560, I renew my hope of writing a story about Kelly, Marty, and Joshua in the wake of Jesse's death.  In "You'll Never Walk Alone," Kelly moves into the apartment next to Mary's and Lucius' while they're hosting a recovering Joccy.  Kelly hosts Takoda so he can keep his friend company.  In N666, in a story excerpt, JenniAnn is talking to Andrew about her support group she runs with Aziraphale and mentions Kelly's work with parents who have lost children to gun violence.  (N424, JABB 447/CABB 23, "The Advocate")  *Kelly

Kelly- This Kelly is Sean's niece, Ciara's and Brad's daughter.  She was the flower girl at Kemara's and Sean's wedding and took part in the rehearsal in "The Never-Ending Road."  Kelly fulfills her flower girl duties in "Here is My Heart"!  Kelly joins her family in celebrating Easter in Dyeland in "Morning Has Broken" and gets to meet a very special Someone.  In N452, Liam's trying to dance with Kelly but Belle's not having it!  Kelly gets to meet her baby cousins, Ian and Joy, in "And Then There Were Four."  In “Chrysalis,” Sean quips that his niece has no chance with Liam after the boy and Belle are found cuddling together in his sleeping bag.  ("Glad Tidings, Part I")

Kemara Marie (nee Meeks) McCallum- (she/her/hers)  First introduced in "Ivy."  That story tells of how Kemara came to meet Andrew and JenniAnn (via Fr. Mike) and came to Dyeland.  While living in New York, Kemara is laid off and confides in her new friends about her worries.  Their solution is to offer to let her stay with LJA at Willowveil, an offer Kemara accepts.  She also winds up accepting a job writing for a publication focused on issues related to the homeless that Catherine arranged.  Later, Kemara goes along with the two and Violeta to

to God.  Kemara lists having Christmas Day off, Midnight Mass, tea, a book, and shortbread in her "favorite things" list in N399.  In "The Truth," Kemara celebrates Thanksgiving with many of the others at Willowveil and then stays over following a Harry Potter screening with Max, Rose, and Violeta.  In N400, Andrew reflects on the many blessings of the past years including Kemara's addition

Chocolate is also vital to her campaign. In N112 she plans on taking all of Dyeland's money to throw a huge party, threatens to arrest Andrew if she gets control and raise taxes astronomically, and create all manner of chaos under her rule.

Lailah- She's introduced in "Shooting Star."  Third member of the Big Three, per Joshua.  She's the thirdborn of all creation, following only Marty/Metatron and Sandy/Sandalphon.  That also means she's the first feminine created being.  In other words, she's the firstborn daughter.  She's the angel of night and both physical and spiritual conception and birth.  That means she is a sort of patron regarding all matters tied to the conception and birth of babies but also the conception and birth of new ideas, relationships, spiritual rebirth, etc.  So that makes her an ideal counselor for a troubled and world-weary Andrew.  In N708, Andrew mentions his sessions with Lailah during a check-in Q and A.  Figures into a relationship-themed trope in N715. In N722, Lailah comes up in a discussion of fairy tale-themed tropes. *Lailah
