Summary: Sequel to The Three Foot Six Room and More from the Three Foot Six Room. I don’t think this will make a great deal of sense unless you’ve read those first.

Author’s notes: Yes, before anyone asks, I am going to write the continuation of this. Just give me a couple of weeks. ;-)

fmspt15: okay, we won’t

fmspt15: hey, orli, what was it you wanted to know about email?

loverparis: well, I send emails, but no-one ever gets them

billyboyd: let’s go through this in stages…

billyboyd: you write your mail, then what?

loverparis: I save it

loverparis: and it goes into my drafts folder

fmspt15: why do you do that?

loverparis: it was how I was told to do it

billyboyd: okay. Then what?

loverparis: I click on the mail once, so it’s highlighted

loverparis: and press the deliver key

billyboyd: deliver?

fmspt15: roflmao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

babybear: what’s a deliver key?

billyboyd: what lunatic told you to do it that way?

loverparis: a mate of mine

fmspt15: had you done something to upset him?

loverparis: er… why?

billyboyd: what does it actually say on the deliver key?

loverparis: del

babybear: that means delete, Orlando

loverparis: I’ve been deleting all my mails?

babybear: daddy says you’re not to swear

fmspt15: this mate of yours?

loverparis: he always said there were no hard feelings

loverparis: the liar

loverparis: just because his girlfriend left him

loverparis: for me

fmspt15: leave the deliver key alone, mate.

fmspt15: we’ve had phone sex

billyboyd: yes

fmspt15: do you fancy trying instant message sex?

billyboyd: what if ally comes back?

fmspt15: not in here. I’ll IM you.

billyboyd: okay

billyboyd and fmspt15 have left the Three Foot Six Room

Billy licked his lips and waited impatiently, watching the screen. Sure enough, after a moment or two, a panel flashed up with Dom’s sn at the top. “Hello, sexy!” it said.

Billy smiled. This was going to be fun.

Hysterical

[(Anonymous)]

That was fantastic. It was the best laugh I have had in a long time. The screennames were priceless

Re: Hysterical

[charlottemay.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked it. It's always nice to know I've made someone laugh. :-)

The screennames were priceless

Hmm... yes. Did you notice the glaring error in this one? ::note to self - do not post an unbetaed story at midnight:: Orli's sn changed halfway through from 'loverparis' to 'parislover'. Ahem. I'm going to correct it just as soon as I've finished answering my comments.

Thanks for commenting. :-)

You could have claimed, now that he has learnt how to change his screenname, Orli wanted to show-off and changed it midway through the conversation. ;:)

LOL! I didn't think of that! :-)

That's a very sweet thing to say. Thank you. :-)

Thank you again. I'll be writing more - possibly Dom and Billy's IM 'conversation' - in a couple of weeks time. ;-)

Thanks for commenting. :-)

[unstealthy.livejournal.com]

I *love* these. Did I mention that I love them? Absolute genius. So real. Orlando is brilliant. It's all just... brilliant. Moremoremore!

(wee crit: Billy would type 'mum' not 'mom'!)

[charlottemay.livejournal.com]

I *love* these. Did I mention that I love them? Absolute genius. So real. Orlando is brilliant. It's all just... brilliant. Moremoremore!

Thank you. Can't you tell I've spent *far* too much time in chat rooms? ;-)

(wee crit: Billy would type 'mum' not 'mom'!)

Actually, that was deliberate. I'm English, and one of my best friends is American. When she refers to my mother, she says 'your mum' and when I refer to her mother, I say 'your mom'. I thought Billy would do the same, particularly when talking to a child. When he said 'mummybear' in the previous line, he wasn't thinking straight anyway, and corrected himself.

Anyway, thanks for commenting and I'm glad you like the stories. :-)

[unstealthy.livejournal.com]

Can't you tell I've spent *far* too much time in chat rooms?

I was under the impression that was a perfectly valid use of time ;-)

re the mum/mom thing - I stand corrected! I think you're right that Billy would say 'mom' when talking to a child. I only picked up on it because Americanisms out of the mouths of our British boys grates on me (and I'm sure it works the other way too). You seem like you're very considerate with your American friend - with mine, we're usually far too busy taking the piss to be so kind!

[charlottemay.livejournal.com]

I know exactly what you mean. It really does grate when one of them says something completely *wrong*. I've come from a fandom where it was the other way round and I *always* had my stuff betaed by an American (and no matter how careful I was, she always managed to find something that sounded English!)

[levonne.livejournal.com]

God...These are fantastic!!!! *lol* I love Orli..He's just so...*roflmao* *loves*

[charlottemay.livejournal.com]

God...These are fantastic!!!! *lol*

Thanks. I'm glad you like the stories. :-)

I love Orli..He's just so...*roflmao* *loves*

I know, I know, he's trying so hard, bless him, but he doesn't quite get it right, does he? Makes you want to give him a hug. ;-)

[thailainthesky.livejournal.com]

^_^

These are great. More would also be great.

[charlottemay.livejournal.com]

Thank you. More (in the shape of Dom and Billy's IM conversation) will be along in a few weeks. ;-)

[pirateslotr87.livejournal.com]

i love these! i want more! hehe!

[charlottemay.livejournal.com]

Thank you! There will be more - just give me a couple of weeks. :-)

[subtle-dusk.livejournal.com]

*grins*

It is SO refreshing to find HUMOR dealing with this pairing...usually all we get is angst, angst, angst, a wee bit of fluff, smut, and angst.

Awesome :-D Can't wait for more!

I think there ought to be more humour - after all, Billy and Dom are such funny guys!

Awesome :-D Can't wait for more!

Thank you very much. More in a few weeks... ;-)

[http://users.livejournal.com/leprechaun_/]

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH for this new instalment of the series. I love it, as the previous parts! From part one, I hoped you would continue, and am so glad that you do... (even if we have to wait a few weeks for the next part - btw. happy holidays! :) )

The humour is brilliant, and the dialogue seems so real, I can really imagine them to banter like this. Kudos.

"Deliver key"... *giggles hysterically* Aww, poor Orli!:P

"fmspt15" *snorty chuckle* *wonders if Dom is telling the truth or just bragging* Maybe your (their) IM conversation will tell? ;)

Thank you! I'm really enjoying doing these, so they'll continue for now - as long as I can think of decent plots.

The humour is brilliant, and the dialogue seems so real, I can really imagine them to banter like this. Kudos.

Thanks again. That's a very sweet thing to say. ;-)

"Deliver key"... *giggles hysterically* Aww, poor Orli!:P

I know... bless him. He does try, you know. ;-)

"fmspt15" *snorty chuckle* *wonders if Dom is telling the truth or just bragging* Maybe your (their) IM conversation will tell? ;)

Personally, I believe him - after all, Billy didn't really argue with the number, so it must be close to correct. But we'll have to see... ;-)

Thanks for commenting. :-)

I think to remember, he said, he lost count... which leads to the question: How far can the Scot count? - Under aggravating (though hopefully pleasurable) circumstances, that is... ;)

Thanks for commenting. :-)

You're welcome. :-)

And now, that I am gonna be on a dry spell with fics by you, (no intention to make you feel guilty *perfect look of complete innocence* ) I think I'll have to start reading your "Deep in the Forest" series - I am normally not much into AU, but I love your writings and you can make me read everything.

[charlottemay.livejournal.com]

Well, I hope you enjoy it! :-)

You probably know this anyway, but all my stories are listed in my lj Memories (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=charlottemay&keyword=story&filter=all). If you haven't read it, I'd recommend "Little Lies". /end shameless self promotion ;-)

[http://users.livejournal.com/leprechaun_/]

Hehe, I found your archive some time ago, and "plundered" it. ;) I love all your stories: "Little Lies" is one of my favourites (So funny, how telling the truth in the end gives them their much needed... err... what?... how shall I express it?... err... quality time? ;) ) Another favourite is: "Please forgive me".

But you should be ashamed of how you are ruining the poor guys reputation in your stories ;) : Dom's clumsy, Orli is daft... yet somehow you manage to bring them across still (or maybe even more so because of their shortcomings) as completely adorable. :-)

Comments on "Deep in the Forest" in appropriate section... ;)

[charlottemay.livejournal.com]

(Due to circumstances beyond my control, I'm still here - will be leaving shortly)

Glad you liked the stories. I recommended 'Little Lies' because it's my favourite, so it's nice to know it's one of yours.

I don't go out to deliberately ruin their reputations - no-one's perfect and I think they're more interesting with flaws. I'm glad you think they're still adorable despite their faults - I actually don't think I could write any of them as unpleasant characters (I made an exception for Sean Bean in DitF out of necessity ;-))

[http://users.livejournal.com/leprechaun_/]

I don't go out to deliberately ruin their reputations - no-one's perfect and I think they're more interesting with flaws.

Oh, don't worry, I didn't think you are, my comment was meant as a joke, and I hope it came over as such. I was "taking the piss", as Dom and Billy would say. ;)

And I agree, no-one wants picture-perfect boredom, err, well that is, I don't.

I'm glad you think they're still adorable despite their faults - I actually don't think I could write any of them as unpleasant characters (I made an exception for Sean Bean in DitF out of necessity ;-))

And I don't think I would want to read it if they were, and you're excused with Sean B. as he is playing a "role" (for the greater good of the story or whatever ;)).
