Oh my goodness.

You have slain me, A.

Andy! WHOLE FOODS.

TOM.

AHAHAHA.

And the format is genius. B-E-S-T.

Hahaha. I'm glad you liked it!

I'm very unsure about this formatting! No one on earth who hasn't seen this show will be able to put meaning to any of it, and that kind of scares me, although I don't know why, since I don't care if no one gets it. But. Still. It's just something I've never done before, so I appreciate that comment.

Thanks so much!!!

I don't watch this show either. But I looooove script format so much. I'm always tempted to write fic in this format and I never do ( ... )

adrenalin211 December 11 2011, 14:43:32 UTC

Hahaha. I was going to send this to you so you could maybe help me make my formatting actually accurate for screenwriting, but then I was like... 1) too lazy and 2) cutting it close to deadline. So ... I decided to leave it? But I am glad the general concept still works for you. And that you know some of the characters based on the dialogue when you've barely even seen the show! That's such an awesome compliment.

Thanks for reading! :)

Re: sparkles_mouse December 11 2011, 18:27:28 UTC

Hahahah I like that you were just too lazy it sounds like me. I was writing last night and I became fed up with description, too lazy to write it so I wrote only dialogue with fill ins like blah blah blah table stuff. So yay lazy.

adrenalin211 December 11 2011, 18:31:50 UTC

You're like the only person I know who would write the dialogue bits FIRST.

But that makes sense, since you ROCK at dialogue and screenwriting is your training.

I was so too lazy. I was like... this isn't correct. OH WELL. They will get the idea.

The script format works really well, as P&R folks have frequent Fourth Wall moments when they talk directly to the camera.

Ron and his beloved "Meat Delivery System," Leslie's fastidousness, April's conpsiring with Ron and Andy's interpretaion of "Whole Foods" are so in character.

This made my Sunday. Thank you.

adrenalin211 December 11 2011, 18:33:08 UTC

I'm so glad that you liked it and felt that the characters were ...themselves.

You're very welcome. It was neat to try this.

marinw December 11 2011, 23:48:43 UTC

And I forgot your wonderful Tom and Donna. I'm sorta kinda shipping those two.

adrenalin211 December 12 2011, 00:29:52 UTC

Tom and Donna?!! I love them as friends!

Do you see them as potentially more?

I want a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich from Dunkin' Donuts! Mmmmm, that sounds delicious. Only it doesn't fall into the category of things I would eat today, so no. BUT STILL.

So I told you that I really have no idea what's going on here, but I love the script format. "You bet your hairy white ass." Where do you come up with this stuff?

A bacon cheeseburger with pickles does not sound delicious. Just sayin'.

Eleanor didn’t really say that. I just made that up right now.

That made me keel over laughing. I can see Amy Poehler saying that:)

"Pal back in municipal." Heh.

ANYWAY. This is super cute and I think it's rad that you went with a script. I have never tried that once ever! So in short, you are clearly a rockstar. Yep.

adrenalin211 December 11 2011, 21:59:30 UTC

Cookies monster! Do cookies fall into the category of things you'd eat today?

Pickles and bacon. Mmmmm.

Thanks for commenting. Writing for this show is like...writing what would be crack!fic in any other fandom I've written in. So THAT'S interesting.

Idk. I think I just got lazy and didn't want to write the in-between stuff. Plus, on this show they're like, talking to a camera guy all the time, so I can't very well be in the middle of some scene and say, "Then Leslie turned to the camera man and said: ______ ", you know?

Hahahaha.

Thanks bb.

Hope you don't get the bug.

THIS IS THE GREATEST THING
EVER

Holy fuckcakes in fuckland with chocolate drizzled donuts I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. Seriously, I want to share this with the entire Parks and Rec fandom because this is PERFECT. Andy getting "whole" foods instead of going to Whole Foods. He would TOTALLY do that. I could picture this entire thing going on SO clearly. Tom with the Entertainment 7twenty donuts. Ron saying he's on a strict diet just to make Leslie happy. Leslie going to Ron's house and bothering him. Just...this whole thing is amazing and perfect and awesomesauce and you got all the characters down SO perfectly and I want to hug this and you. aughauidjkadkgjads

THIS ICON = MY FACE WHILE READING THIS, AND STILL MY FACE NOW. Love.

I'm glad you like it, bb!!!

Yeah it was really hard to sorta get into all the characters, but I definitely tried, and I'm really glad you feel like I got them right. That's SUCH a compliment.

If I can make your face happy, my job is DONE.

I'm running around like a crazy person today, but I WILL post your Ben/Leslie one as soon as I can! xoxo
