I'm so glad that there are a few authors out there who write decent TBAA fics without romance. Thank you for being one of them! I'm sorry you've had so much trouble with shipping on and I'd love to read your stories wherever you decide to post them - if you would send me a link, I'd really appreciate it.

If you're interested in other non-ship TBAA fics, there's a site out there that has split them off into a different page: br (dot) geocities (dot) com / monicaandrew1stfan /

(dot) html

There are some neat fics there, including the See No Evil series, which is quite good. Sadly, it was later continued into a ship (complete with the problems you outlined), but the first five are still excellent.

Thanks so much for sharing your writing with us, and I'm just sorry you've been chased away. Keep up the great work with whatever series you do decide to write about, and just know that there are a few of us out here who agree with you wholeheartedly!

Finally someone else who sick and tired of all the shipping taking place! You seem to truly understand the premise of how and why angels operate. Thanks you! I liked your descriptions and comparison to the movie "city of angels." Good comparison! Write more I think your stuff would actually hold a lot of merit and teach some of these other "writers."

Very good story! Nice symbolism. All of these sinking ships makes me feel a little better about the whole mess... And it's a big mess, as you know. We'll be sorry to see you go, one of the few and proud classical TBAA writers left.

Good luck where-ever you go next and God bless you in your endeavor to keep the series pure.

No! You can't leave! You're one of the few people here who writes classic TBAA. I've read almost all of your TBAA pieces and I think you're a fabulous writer. I understand why you're angry, but please don't abandon the section. We'll miss you!

Hey there Yva J! Lauren here. I hope you're doing well. I just read the next chatper of your Ship that Sinks story. I'm really sorry you're leaving. i don't understand why you are letting people who juts want to experiment with ideas for stories determine your actions. You're a wonderful writer and I really do like your stories. And if this has anything to do with the story that i'm writing about Rafael/Gloria, you need to know that after the assignment, they will realize they don't love each other in that way and go back to being good frend. That was my intention all along.

God loves you

Lauren

Whoa... I love you (as a writer), you know that? What... let's not get off on that... this love stuff is pretty... um... yuck. Pretty yuck.

I'm not saying I don't enjoy my share of love stories. When it comes to "Titanic", believe me, ask anyone, I'm a complete sap. Romantic comedies? Right up my ally.

But TBAA isn't a romantic comedy or romantic tragedy. It has very very very little to do with romancee at all. Kudos for posting this new chapter!

I understand you 'leaving' the TBAA section, though it makes me VERY sad. I'll still read your WWATCF (Willy Wonka and the...) stuff. But you should keep this story up. Should make for some very interesting stuff.

The second chapter was a surprise, but definitely needed and I'm glad someone has the guts to stand up for what is right around here. Thank you. The whole shipping thing is completely messed up and it is a shame how some irresponsible people can end up affecting a fandom. This story of yours puts the entire issue into a very easy to understand explanation for why shipping the TBAA angels is so wrong and I would recommend this story first before anything else to any new reader here. Thanks again.

Loved it. The idea of angels falling in lust no matter how romantic is just...ew. Like the logic on the havoc it would cause. It's like when Star War's Anakin bucked the system and got married when the Jedi had forbidden it for much the same reasons. THAT certainly went sour and I can imagine any Andrew/Monica causing great delight for the Enemy as well.

Bravo! I enjoyed reading this brief explanation of different types of love and how it applies to TBAA. I'm glad that someone else shares my views on this subject and had enough backbone to write about them! I generally try to be nice about this sort of thing, but sometimes a slightly more... direct... approach is required.

::smiles at the thought of God destroying the ship

Very nice!

Thank you! I was hoping that I would find some one that share my theoy about Andrew and Monica's relainship. You see, I never saw anything between them either. Except, my theoy is that I think that since God created the angels by himself, the angels are his own children, like Jesus is. So Tess, Monica, Andrew, and the others are like brothers and sisters and you wouldn't date your own brother or sister would you? No, but that's my theoy; my opinion, so you don't have to listen to me.

This is good, and you know, I absolutely completely agree. *Smiles at the destroyed ship*

The actors work well together, but the angels together? Not in my mind.

Interesting topic, I had no idea what on earth you were talking about from the short description.

I never thought to have Andrew and Monica together, I thought like you do that Angels once knowing God's love would radiate that love to all. And Romance... Biblically speaking, we "romance" to have children, right? Well if angels can't have children, then they shouldnt want to "romance".

I have to say however that your work for Touched By an Angel is the first I have read in this fandom.

Keep writing them I am enjoying it!

Well I liked it!

Angels are immortal. They don't have to reproduce. They "reproduce" if you want to use that term, by guarding and nurturing us Humans towards our growing into Christ. (Ephesians 4:15). That's what Vine dresser "evolution", is for and Angels are God's helpmates in assisting it along.

I absolutely loved this story. I totally agree with you on the shipper issue. I am so glad that someone finally voiced an opinion against shipper stories and is trying to keep the show pure like it was meant to be. Excellent story.

Ha, I loved the reference to Seth! Totally perfect!

I would just like to say that I agree with you in that you have a right to voice your own opinion, as does everyone else have a right to theirs. Shipps are not everyone's cup of tea, and I can understand that, although they happen to be mine.

Anyway, I enjoyed this (and others from you) very much!
