As if working in the VS7 wasn't enough, LOL. I came up with this idea after spending a saturday evening at a friend's house. We were watching the S1 DVDs, and as much as I love all the characters in S1 (and S2, but no beyond that, unfortunatelly) I found myself wanting to watch only the Dawson and Joey scenes. I guess it was because it had been years since I really had took my time to sit and enjoy them as I did the first time I discovered this amazing couple. I thought that it would be cool to have a compilation of the best D/J scenes. And then I thought it woudl be evn cooler to go a step further: what about some kind of movie? Like 'When harry met Shally'? You don't need to show everything, just the important stuff. Well, this is not like WHMS at all, but that was the basic idea. So I propossed my idea to my D/Jers at Fanforum.com and some of them were as crazy as me and decided to join the project. Thank you girls. Without you, it would have been nearly impossible to do this.

I was very excited when Beatriz asked me to help out with this project. At first I didn’t think I would have enough time, but I really wanted to be apart of this so I tried my hardest and got it done. I’ve been a Dawson and Joey fan since 2002. I was flipping through the channels one summer and came across this weird show, “Dawson’s Creek”. I found it interesting and needed something to watch, because well, it was the summer and I had nothing to do. At first I didn’t like it too much, when I first started watching it they were showing season 4, but this was when they were showing about 4 episodes a day so once I got through season 4, I watched season 5, and started to think, this isn’t to bad. For some weird reason, I had known about Dawson and Joey before. I think I had heard about them or something, and when I started watching DC I paid more attention to D/Jo more then any other couple. It took me a while to understand what was happening between them, and what had happened in the past. I finally came to the conclusion that they are best friends, fell in love, dated, broke up, and never really got over each other. Which reminds me of something a DC season 4 character said, Dru was his name:

Drue: It's down right sweet, all this concern you seem to have for Joey, but… I should probably warn you. All it really does it prove my point.
Dawson: I wasn't aware that you had one.
Drue: Oh, please… this whole friend dance you guys do. As if you were actually over each other. As if you haven't vaguely wounded each other's psyches and doomed all your future relationships. I mean, I'm sorry this is great stuff. It's what makes you and Joey, far and away the more compelling couple.

And Dru was right, they have wounded each other so much that they can’t be in another real relationship because they will always be in love with one another. And they’ve doomed every being able to have a relationship with anyone else because they’ll never be able to give their whole hearts to them, because they gave their hearts away to each other a long time ago and never really got it back.

So thank you so much girls, for letting me be apart of this. I love you all so much. And I hope all you Dawson and Joey fans enjoy the movie. We put a lot work into it, blood, sweat, and tears. (believe it or not)

I was honored to take part in this project when Bea asked me. A Dawson and Joey movie sounded amazing and I definitely wanted to be apart of it. I believe that it was a total injustice to the fans when D/Jo did not end up together romantically on the show and therefore, this movie was like the fans way of showing what would have been a more justified ending to Dawson's Creek. Dawson and Joey were obviously meant to be together and should have ended up together in the end no matter if it was the most obvious choice, I think it was the right one. The story of Dawson and Joey is bittersweet but I think with this project, we have made it an even better story to tell people. For years to come, I believe we will all still remember the love story of Dawson and Joey.

I want to thank the rest of the girls who did this project with me. You are all fantastic. I know this project will be a big hit because of all the work we put into it and will definitely be worthwhile.

To the viewers, I hope you enjoy the movie. You may need to grab some tissues, you're in for a treat. Remember, Dawson and Joey get the happy ending and are forever meant to be "you and me always."

Well, I don't even know how to describe my state when Bea invited me to join the project. I thought to myself: 'Wow, this is totally crazy, how I could... wow, this is... amazing! Count me in'. The way things were left in Dawson's Creek always bugged me, so that's our way to try to make things a little bit better to our favorite couple and share this with all of our DJ friends, those who decided to stick with this amazing couple, with this amazing love story, who captured us in a way that is beyond words, cause here we are, almost three years after the ending, with the same enthusiasm and love for Dawson Leery and Josephine Potter.

I just want to thank those waving daisy psychos who made this possible and real. Bea, Brit, Christy, Deb and Nagi, thanks for your amazing dedication and hard work. I still can't believe that, in different countries, with different time zones, we really did this and this amazes me everyday. Love ya all!

There's a moment in Dawson's Creek, during the season 2 episode "The All-Nighter" that really captures for me some of the essence that is Dawson Leery and Joey Potter. A frustrated Joey, in a mixture of hurt and confusion lashes out at her ex-boyfriend and life-long best friend Dawson:

Joey: "Why can't we go back to the way things were? Why can't we just be friends, Dawson?" Dawson bites back: "That's what you want?" Joey: "Yes!" Dawson: "After all we've been through, just friends?" Joey: "Yeah." Dawson: "If you don't understand why that can't happen, if you don't get that, you don't get me!"

I too have trouble accepting a purely platonic relationship between them. If you don't understand that, if you just don't get that, you don't get Deb! Dawson and Joey can never be just friends. That's quite simply not possible for them and the love story that is theirs. For six seasons, their love was the throbbing heart of the hit drama Dawson's Creek. This project is an attempt to strip away the secondary characters, the B-plots and simply show their story. The story of Dawson and Joey in all its magic.

It's also a labour of love on our part, an attempt perhaps to make things right. A gift to the die-hard fans that have remained long after the final credits rolled, fans who may still not be satisfied with where the story of Dawson and Joey was left on our screens.

Thanks so much Bea, for letting this idea grow in your mind and your generosity in sharing your enthusiasm for this project with others. It was a wonderful idea and you've organised the script so very well. To the rest of the girls, thanks too for your hard work and willingness to offer opinions and technical advice. This has been so much fun! Yes fun, despite me never wanting to ripp or upload another piece of footage for a very long time (okay, maybe just a few hours).

To you the viewer, I really hope that you enjoy the movie. Grab your popcorn, chocolate, tissues, best friend, whatever rocks your socks, and remember, "we get the happy ending."
