Just when you thought Bill couldn't get any cuter, and Tom couldn't feel anymore awkward.
Author's Response: Aw, I'm glad you think he's cute! Thanks so much for reading!

Once again, the progression of the story and the characters is just so fascinating. I really like how you explain what's happening to the characters as far as emotions and psychology, but you never bog down the story with too much info. It makes this story feel fleshed out and intriguing, but not tedious. So loved this chapter!
Author's Response: Thank you, I'm glad to hear I'm achieving that balance!

Gah, I love this fic. Bill can't speak, but he's so expressive in other ways. You've done an awesome job developing his character, which I wasn't sure would even be possible in a Bill who couldn't talk! He's such a chatterbox in real life, after all, but this Bill seems just as curious and sweet and strangely sexy - especially now that he's become fond of wearing makeup.
I feel bad for poor Tom, though, dealing with so much at once. He should let Bill calm him down and help him unwind! The dancing was so cute, with Bill so happy and Tom more relaxed, at least up until that last bit.
Oh,and this is probably bad of me, given the movie, but I'm hoping for a happy ending for both their sakes. *crosses fingers?*
Author's Response: Thank you, that's so nice to hear! I was definitely worried about Bill's lack of speech when I started on this story, so I'm glad to hear that you find him expressive despite the fact that he can't verbalize. And don't worry about the ending--it won't be following that of the film. This is certainly not a death fic!

I have to say I woke up this morning, laid in bed for a few and started wondering if Splice got updated. LOL. Its not often that I do that. But this is just so intriguing. I actually want to see the film just to watch it. x)
Anyways! Bill got into the females makeup. Of course it was only a matter of time. Gorgeous gorgeous. Still can't get over the way he "talks" with his little chirps and sounds. Squee. Plus Tom taught Bill how to dance! :DD
Author's Response: That is such a nice thing to hear--I'm so glad the story is sticking with you to that degree!

I really enjoyed reading Tom's conflict in this chapter; his realization that he truly does make the distinction of Bill as something of human presence and sentience, as opposed to an animal. Georg doesn't feel the same, will never feel the same, but to Tom, Bill is a person. ♥ He feels bad when he leaves Bill alone and he looks hurt by it, and he wants to communicate with him on a deeper level. That's fantastic!
Tom coming home to a made-up Bill was quite an awesome shock. I like that it got him looking closer at Bill, trying to figure out why Bill did it. (You're a bit dense, Tom; or at least, no study of human psychology.) The dancing scene with the two of them was utterly sweet.
I like the way you're weaving this spell over Tom, showing how he's being drawn in by Bill, snared by his beauty yet also unnerved by the similarities.
Author's Response: I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter! Tom definitely doesn't understand people at all...he can't see what's right in front of him, when it comes to Bill OR Georg.

Wow Tom's life is.kind of in chaos and totally stressful and it's basically all his own fault. Bill is.his fault and part of the work.stress is.his.fault. rather messy. Reading about his.decisions makes.me anxious. I would not survive very long in his life.with all his.bad choices.
Author's Response: Yes, he's not making things easy on himself. Although, it's not ALL his fault...he is trying at work, but science doesn't always progress smoothly. He could be less of an asshole to his bosses, though, lol. Thanks so much for reading, and for reviewing!

Nothing like string at your twin in the face. Also this was never used in the movie to communicate but umm HELLO what am I using to send you messages (a keyboard and computer if your were wondering). I mean He can spell. understands words. I think it is safe to say that he can get the words out in choppy sentences. That would make things so much easier. I mean you could even get him to become pro at texting. Though I think there would be way to many questions for Tom to even open one message to answer another. Also the picture would you rather I draw it? I did my thing for splice a few weeks back on what I though a human/animal would look like then I kind of end up making something that looked like the movie. I had no idea I what Dren looked like at the time. I even did the bones and what not. But you don't see that in the picture.
Author's Response: I definitely thought that while watching the film--especially when Dren spelled out "tedious" with the scrabble tiles. It seemed like such an obvious way to let her communicate more. That being said, I'm not sure how much I'm going to explore that in this story. There's a lot of action coming up, so perhaps not that much down time for Tom to teach Bill how to write. We'll see. Btw, I like your Splice picture--very cool! You can do whichever you like--drawing or photoshopping. I'm just flattered that you want to make fanart for this story!

Oh wow. THAT'S a wake-up call xD I hope Tom gets him a new wardrobe xD Maybe show him how to online shop? *giggles*
Author's Response: Haha...online shopping with Bill the creature. Definitely an amusing idea. Thanks so much for reading!

Yeah I will do it. Just send me the with that picture. I have the Dren picture already but it is a small one. Do you have a larger one? I could have a shot at making the manipulation in my photoshop. All I have done in that kind of manip though is Bill and Tom being Avatars. http://krystleg777.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2m2qxj
That is a link to the Bill AVI. You can look at my other art on that site. My e-mail and contact info is also on that site.
Author's Response: Hey, this is the biggest I could find the picture of Dren: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v191/kiss444/splice_pic.jpg

did bill get a little jealous of rebecca maybe? I sure hope so ;) I love it!
Author's Response: I think he might have. Glad you enjoyed the chapter!

Okay now I have to wait for the next chapter. You know you cold always photoshop that picture there to make it Bill. That one would not be to hard.
Author's Response: Tragically, I don't possess the skills...anything past basic photo editing is a bit beyond my comprehension, lol. If you're volunteering, though...

HIS HOUSE. Okay I think that you made Tom crazier then the chick in the movie with that move. Now I really want to see how this all plays out now. Though I am glad to see it start to separate from the movie.
Author's Response: I didn't want to complicate things with the backstory that the farm would require...and all of Elsa's issues with her mother. Plus, I liked the idea of Bill in Tom's personal space. Thanks for reading, and reviewing!

Well, that's a relief; I thought Bill was going to come chirping out into the living room, curious as he is. Glad he didn't have to try to explain that away and he still got a little. :)
Author's Response: Haha, that would have been QUITE hard to explain, wouldn't it? Thanks for reading!

Yay, does this mean a 'birds and the bees' talk with Bill? That would be awesome! Bill is such a darling. Adorable!
Author's Response: Glad you think he's darling! Bill is definitely going to have some questions after what he's seen. We'll see how Tom handles the situation. Thanks for reading!

Aww Bill. He just needs to be parented a bit. Maybe Tom should show him more about what everything is. Give him some books. He can spell it's possible Tom can teach him to read books. I can't blame Tom for needing a break. IT's hard to take care of children and it is stressful too. I think it's funny that Bill kinda caught them but now Tom has to tell him what they were doing. Ooops :)
Author's Response: Yeah, I think Tom didn't realize how much having Bill in the house would put him in the parent role. He was totally unprepared, silly boy. Thanks so much for reading!
