First of all WOW!  I'm so honored to receive this and I want to thank the judges and the people who nominated me in the first place.  And now to answer the questions:

How do you go about developing a story?

Usually once the idea pops in my head, I think about it for a long time, get a few chapters laid out in my head.  Figure out how I want it to end and then run the idea by Kimmy, who usually has some really good ideas to help the fic even better.
 

Where did you find your inspiration for this particular fic?

Man, it was such a long time ago... but I think it started with the email idea.  That they hadn't seen each other in a long time and that was there only contact between each other. And I wanted them to have a successful life separately, but still be lacking something and then it just grew from there.

 
Why do you write Pacey and Joey fan fic?

It probably has something to do with the fact that I still get all mushy every time I watch them together.

 
As a writer, what are your plans for the future (fic world and beyond)?

I don't see myself leaving the fic world anytime soon.  And for my "real" life future I haven't a clue.

 
Would you like to thank anyone? Cheerleaders? Fans? Beta readers? Authors you admire?

Kimmy of course, without her none of my stuff would see the light of day.  Lesley for always asking and all those people that continue to bump and make me feel so guilty for not updating sooner.
