Writing Leslie: Discuss

Feb 09, 2012 19:53

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...
