Typical Bill, give him some sugar and candy and he's yours to command!
Author's Response: Exactly! He's a sugar fiend. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!

SQUEE!!! Oh my goodness this is so cute. Haha. Even though the little creature is still all alienesque I can just imagine how cute it must look. Walking...around and nosing everything. Plus the fact that it loves sweet things. SO CUTE!!! :D
I can only imagine how it'll be when its grows up more and becomes even more curious. n__n
Author's Response: I'm glad the descriptions are coming across as cute!

Awe it's growing up and getting cuter. Georg is right Tom is already too attached to be parcial. Of Georg was smart he'd take care of it before it gets higher brain cognitive skills and speach. When it gets speach there's no way Tom will be able to kill it. It's totally going to become a killing machine isn't it? It totally is ha its going to be a blood bath. Nice!
Author's Response: Georg certainly doesn't trust either the creature OR Tom. We'll see what he does about that...

Tom's getting attached. It's easy to see why - the way you describe the little guy, he's so darned cute! And those huge, brown eyes. ;_; This story needs fanart. I wish I had the talent to do that for you.
As usual with science, so many break-throughs happen by accident, lol.
Author's Response: I'm so glad to hear that he's coming across as cute--I wasn't sure if I totally skewed people's vision of him with the picture I posted last chapter. (Which I thought was cute, but apparently not everyone agrees with me.) Thank you so much for reading and reviewing--it means a lot to me!

ah! tom is getting attached. that is so freaking cute!
Author's Response: Glad you think it's cute! Thanks for reading!

Little Chimera's too cute :3 When's he gonna name it? xD
If it's really that smart, watch it get out into the lab or something xD
Author's Response: I love the word "chimera"! Yes, it's intelligence is certainly going to make things more dangerous for Tom. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing, I really appreciate it!

I'm loving the progression in Tom's feelings and thought processes as far as his creation is concerned. It's so fascinating to see his fondness grow, despite the obvious signs that the creature is dangerous. I'm also really enjoying Georg's character, more than I thought I would. He's sort of the "straight guy" in all of this and he plays off nicely with Tom's character. All in all, I loved this chapter!
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm so glad you like how I'm taking things--especially Georg's presence in the story. I wasn't sure how people would feel about him.

Ooooh I just really have a craving for sci-fi fics at the moment, and I almost didn't want to read this until it had all been posted but naturally my curiosity got the better of me, so now I have to wait impatiently for updates! :P
Author's Response: Selfishly, I'm glad you didn't hold out, since it's always nice for me to have encouraging reviews in the writing process! Next update should be tomorrow, so you don't have to wait too long.

i sincerely hope we aren't going to have to watch it die. i havent seen the movie yet, though I want to. this is great so far, just please don't break our hearts. Keep up the good work!
Author's Response: Don't worry...I would DEFINITELY have put a 'major character death' warning. I'm so glad you like the story so far, and I hope you continue to read!

Oh. The creature is interesting! I'm finding myself sitting and staring at the picture, just examining it. Very interesting. You described it really well.
Author's Response: Thank you!

So I watched this movie today before reading your fic and now I'm absolutely excited to see what you have in store for us. Good job so far ;D
Author's Response: I'll be interested to hear what you think of where I take the story, now that you've seen the movie. Thanks so much for reading!

CUTE
I cant wait to see this movie
Author's Response: I would definitely recommend it!

I'm nervous for the little thing now ( Bill ) I don't want him to be too messed up or scary but I'm worried now that he won't live too long. I'm scared for both of them really. keep going though.
Author's Response: He won't be TOO scary, I promise. Even though I'm basing this story off a horror movie, it's not going to end up being horror itself. Thanks so much for reading, and I hope you'll stick with the story even though it's making you nervous!

I thought it was the cutest lil humonster I had ever seen when I saw it at the movies, especially when it makes that cute little cooing sound. Will Tom feed him Tic Tacs now?
Author's Response: I know! My first reaction was, "I want one!" It's just so precious. Thanks so much for reading (and stay tuned for tic tacs)!
Date: 06/30/10 02:20 pm Title: New Life
o.O wtf is that? x'D is it going to get any prettier? xP
Author's Response: Haha, I actually think it's pretty cute, but maybe that's just me! Don't worry, though...it won't look like that forever. Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Another intensely creepy part, until it came out and looked Tom in the eye. Then it all seemed so sad! Tom's pure science perspective is frighteningly amoral. This poor little life, only existing for "a few weeks."
I'm glad to see Georg enter the story and maybe balance Tom out a little. Looking forward to the next update!
Author's Response: Georg will certainly provide a different perspective than Tom's. I'm glad you found this chapter creepy and sad by turns...that's just what I was going for! Thanks so much for continuing to read and review!

Eww its a creepy little monkey isn't it. Unfortunate that it's gross instead of cute but I suppose the first things on land were puppies so there's a growth curve there.
Author's Response: I actually think it's pretty cute! Although, maybe some of that was seeing it in action in the movie. But yes, there's definite room for development! Thanks so much for reading, and reviewing!

Another tense chapter! I loved how you mapped out Tom's feelings so explicitley. It was a very complex mix of emotions and you conveyed them so well. I really love this story so far!
Author's Response: Thank you, that's so lovely to hear!
