Since there is no new episode tonight (tear) I thought I'd throw a question out there I've thought about for a while:
How the heck to you write Leslie Knope?
Does anyone else find this hard? She's amazingballs and I think everyone has their own way of capturing that in a fic. I tend to write her more serious than she is on the show. Here are my questions:
- How do you capture the zany, larger than life elements of Leslie? How do you balance that with the other parts of her personality?
- What are her tell tale mannerisms or physical characteristics?
- What are her tell tale phrases?
- What are your favorite fics that really get Leslie right?
Look forward to hearing what ya'll think...
