Doom.

The first line says, "My favorite word is doom."

The second line says, "What's my favorite word?"

The last line says, "Dustin".

To decipher a line of code, use the following terminology: The first letter of the line is in the 'A' position, the second in the 'B' position, etc.

Using the first line as an example:

Write the line of encrypted letters and the letters A through Z above:

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST.UVW
OVDFBAIGRUPTICMWCTAO.EYS

Now, begin adding a third line, of decrypted letters. The 'A' encrypted letter is 'O', so the 'A' decrypted letter is the 'O' encrypted letter, which is M

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST.UVW
OVDFBAIGRUPTICMWCTAO.EYS
M

Now continue adding letters in the same manner.

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST.UVW
OVDFBAIGRUPTICMWCTAO.EYS
MYF

The completed list is:

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST.UVW
OVDFBAIGRUPTICMWCTAO.EYS
MYFAVORITEWORDISDOOM.

The punctuation indicates the end of the sentence.

The other lines and the title:

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRS?TUVW
VEJMHDWSJAURTMBVURF?IOWY
WHATSMYFAVORITEWORD?

ABCDEF.GHIJ
