The hammers of a piano bit was great.

Author's Response: Thank you! That one came to me the night before I starting writing while I was thinking about how Bill was going to open up. I am glad it came across well.

I suppose it'd be silly to review, since I don't have anything truly constructive to say - aside from my appreciation for the newest chapters. I like hearing from readers even if they haven't anything to point out specifically, just to let me know they're still reading, so I figure others might too. ^--^ Still very much enjoying this. I'm ever curious at what will happen when Tom has to buckle down and prepare to sell the Humanoid...fufufu. Oh~ I haven't seen the 1962 film 'Humanoid' (Though as a Cinema student, supposing it'd do me good to do so) but reading this the other day, it made me think of that movie, or bits and pieces I know of it. (I was going to watch it on Tele, but an episode of 'Friends' was on at the same time, so the obvious outcome to that decision was.... >.>) I wonder if it is half as magical as your 'Humanoid' world. xD Haha~ anyhoo, good day! Looking forward to the next chapter~~~ ^^

Author's Response: Thank you so much for your review, and yes it is very nice to know that people are enjoying the story as much as I am enjoying watching it unfold. I hope you enjoy what is to come.

Aww that was the sweetest thing:) I loved it! The scene with Tom and his father, it was so lovely and full of emotions that I remember with my parents. I miss that feeling too. It's been a long 4 years without anyone telling me it's ok and holding me like that. Bill is so sweet and he is so helpful to Tom. I kind of like his properness but it will be interesting to see how Bill conforms to Tom and his way of life providing that Tom comes to his senses and keeps Bill. I realize he most likely will but I hope it's sooner rather than later. Bill is far too special.

Author's Response: I am glad that you found the scene with Tom's father touching, it was sentimental to write. When I was a father I always enjoyed sitting with my child, it's comforting for parents to hold their children, and I imagine it is comforting for their children to be snuggled. I like the idea of Tom's father being a very warm and caring man in his memories.

~Laugh~ Andi has sway over Tom. Proper english that is a good one. A default setting, I can't wait till Tom gets inside Bill to fix that english of his, or dumb it down a little, though the way Bill is he most likely be more of an complicated speaker if he gets to choose what he wants to speak. I mean the choices of words that he pics in english alone as a second longer says a lot to Bills intelligence. I really like the part in this chapter where Tom was debating to lick the plate clean. Good thing Bill spoke before anything else could be done. I am so happy updated, quite quickly I might add. I live the little sweet moment that was shared of Tom's past as well. I just find it funny how much Humanoid Bill cleans where as the real Bill is lazy when it comes to these things. Also where does Merrick get off telling everyone about Tom's business. That alone tells me that she is just obsessed with him, the poor thing. Thank you for updating.

Author's Response: Thank you for your review, and I agree, the scene were Tom is thinking about licking the plate clean was hysterical to write. I can imagine him eating like a complete slob.

I didn't like how you inserted the pictures into the text; it was distracting. Save it for the end notes next time.

Author's Response: I am sorry that you felt distracted by the images in the center of the story. I've always enjoyed places images of important things at the moment of their appearance.

Oh, at first I was worried that he had reset Bill, but at the end I got that he was just powered-down for the night.

Author's Response: I am glad Tom did not reset Bill, I considered it briefly but I figured I wouldn't be able to easily forgive him for it.

Aww, Billa shines for him! Can't wait for more!

Author's Response: Thank you, I will try to post more this weekend.

:) first off, i simply adore you for posting chapi 12!! i must be highly annoying pestering you and repeatedly IM'ng you, and second off


" I got eye raped to the point where I wasn’t sure if I should go to the hospital and file a report or not"


I laughed so damn hard at that line, i was choking, funny as hell man. I loved tom in this chapter, by far my favorite chapter with tom.( if that makes sense ) Bill seems to want to please tom so much, yet tom is blind to this, or at least i feel that he is. Bill does things to get toms attention yet, tom is completely devoid to all that bill has done, despite make him a sandwich, typical male. (Not all males, select few) I love this story to bits and pieces! i hope to get to know you more also and learn what inspired you to write this :D Great Job!

Lots of Love :D

Author's Response: I agree that Tom's character does seem oblivious to much as of right now. I don't think that Bill is trying too hard to impress him though, just wait until his adaptive functioning gets turned back on.

" You’re a machine, you can’t feel love" can i please ghetto slap tom for saying that... sigh. to me this chapter was really intense, but not like OH MAH GOD but more of a look into the 'soul' to me bill opened a part of his hear to tom, ya know. i loved it i'm about to read chapi 11 -squeals-

Author's Response: I'm glad you liked this, and yes that comment from Tom was horrible.

Well lets just hope that Tom does not feel the need to take a quick shower before he heads back to the shop. Or freak out because most article of clothing that he went to sleep in are now folded and some what out of immediate sight. I like that you are getting their names more in this chapter, I can once again reefer to them as Tom and Bill. I love love love all the little details on how Bill as a humanoid operates beneath the skin. They are like pieces of diamonds scattered about a black velvet surface. Very appealing. Please update, keep on going with the fic. There might be a fanart that might come of this from me.

Author's Response: Again I am glad to receive your reviews. I am very relieved that Tom is warming up to calling the Humanoid "Bill" and actually thinking of him as a HIM and not an IT. Having to write about Bill as a thing is more difficult than I expected it would be. Chapter Ten in particular was horrendous to write, trying to avoid using "it" or "he" during Tom's transitory phase was draining. rnrnI will definitely get even more into what Bill is capable of in his Humanoid aspects. Likewise, we will get more into the history of both characters soon. Tom moreso than Bill.
