...but I tend to use characters from books as a shorthand when I'm writing things for Spanish. Recently, it's been the Codex Alera, so my Spanish teacher has been hearing a lot about Tavi and Kitai and Ehren and has no clue why.
It's fun.
(And yeah, it's technically fic, but my writing in Spanish is so stilted that... no. Just no.)

He's never in the classroom during passing period, so when I got in there, I went up to the board and wrote 'Grammer is very important!' before taking my seat. When Mr. Roth came in, he looked at the board for a minute or so before going back out to the hall and taking a long drink at the water fountain.
Does anyone else have any stories about pranking people with bad grammar? Did the victims even realize they'd been had? Go ahead and share!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
very funny!
"Grammer is very impotent!" That would've been funnier.
I actually don't remember pranking someone with bad grammar, but I remember one time that kind of gets close: one time for a composition lesson that happened to fall on April Fool's Day, I took the text of something I was doing and I rendered it entirely in the alien font from the movie District 9 instead of its original English. It wasn't a very successful prank, but hey.
...but I do keep using PPC characters when asked to write sentences on my French exams, and I had one on April 1st this year. So, of course, for the sentence I had to write using the word 'citizenship', I had someone telling Edgar that in order to get citizenship he had to ask 'Monsieur Sod' to write a letter to the government agents. In hindsight, I expect I could have written something about Acacia annoying Jay by getting Roman citizenship, but it didn't occur to me at the time, so I just stuck the Marquis de Sod in there. Along with a DIC agent.
...well, it amuses me, at any rate. Makes exams more fun, and sometimes gets you character development into the bargain.

I had to write a narrative in class a week ago, and since I didn't have any original ideas, I wrote about Cassie and Scribie, travelling in the land of FF, through the towns of 4C, FaNet, and Ljay. They were trying to get to G Tower before it collapsed, then it turned out that Scribie had been causing the damage all along.
Points for anyone who knew what online story I'm talking about. ^_^
But I'm liking the Agents idea. I'll have to do that sometime. :)
