I just want to open a discussion about dialogue.

For you, what are the rules?

Do you have examples of good dialogue you would like to share?

What about poor dialogue?

Examples may be given, and are allowed under "Fair Use" because they are for education purposes and discussion, but they need to be snippets, not breach of copyright of someone else's full story.

Maybe you would enjoy writing, but find dialogue hard? This may be a good way to work out how to do it.

How poor must the dialogue be before you abandon reading a tale?

Does good dialogue alone make a good tale?

Does a good story actually require dialogue?
