Books, funny, and dialogue

Following up on the lists of five things:

From 2h2o: ( Five books that don't exist but should: )

From sigerson: ( Five sources of my humor )

minyan offered me two options, and I'm grateful for the choice. Option 1 was five characters I'd like to write for, and, well, I have trouble writing for others' characters. (This is part of why I haven't written fanfic.) Either I make them sound stilted and uncomfortable, as if the understudy had been brought on to play their part and hadn't learned all of the lines yet, or it gets so Mary-Sue it would make a stone vomit.

However, she did offer Option 2: ( Five favorite lines of dialogue. )
