I am a Chinese fan who came a bit late. Discovering this website is the happiest thing for me in recent years. I used to use bookmarking as commenting. I must say that I have read and bookmarked this story. Reading this story is undoubtedly a pleasure! Today I plan to leave a comment. Thank you for your story. You are an amazing writer.

Hi Hi! I read ALL of your responses and wanted to say you are very welcome! It was quite a project to backtrack a year+ of reading to leave comments, and due to this I had to give up on making them custom (which I did at first) and just start copy-pasting variations of blurbs. Considering so many authors are gone and replies are VERY minimal I figure its the effort that counts lol.
This story was my favorite out of all of yours- so far (I still have a couple more on my tracked list). It seems that most of the TH fic I have read so far (I have read like 700+ stories by now!) is lacking in humor lol... like sure most fics have some funny lines or moments, but I feel like most of your stuff was written to be intentionally more rom-com than just rom ;) LOL. It's fun.
Author's Response: Oh, bless you so very much! Your kindness and effort is truly very appreciated! I'm really impressed that you went back through all that reading to leave comments! I know as a reader that I'm usually out of spoons to leave a comment, so I really admire your tenacity. And believe me, you are a HUGE inspiration to writers! I thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart! And I'm very flattered that you enjoyed my bad sense of humor! Somehow my fics have always come out a bit ... twisted and more comedic than dramatic, even in the smut. I guess I blame my twisted personality? lol But thank you so much for picking up on that because I have definitely just tried to lean into the comedy more over the years and present more rom-com than just romance or smut, like you said. A lot of readers don't like it lol and that's fine, but it's really made me happy that at least one reader did like it. :D Thank you again so much for your comments, and best of luck in your reading! Hope you always find the exact fic to hit the spot! ;D

I've mentioned this on other reviews: I came into the TH / THF fandom in Jan’22. The vast majority of fics I've read are quite old and I'm sure the authors have moved on (and probably wont even see new reviews), BUT I figure why not leave one anyway… I enjoyed this fic and wanted to say thank you for writing and sharing it!
Author's Response: THANK YOU SO MUCH! I am thrilled that you liked this fic! I truly appreciate you taking the time to read old fics (omg I can't believe it's been so long; I feel ancient!) and THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART for leaving a comment! I haven't written for these guys forever, but I still have the same email so I still get any reviews or comments. And I honestly treasure them. I'm happy for you that you've found the TH fandom, and I hope you discover lots of great fics. Thank you for being so lovely! I'm happy you liked my story!

Awesome story!! Sequel? Pwetty pwease with Tomi puppy dog eyes?
Author's Response: Aw, wow, do you know how hard it is to resist those puppy dog eyes?! That's very effective! :D Thank you so much for your comment, and I'm very excited that you enjoyed this story! Unfortunately, I don't have plans to write any more TH fic, but I never say never. Maybe someday ... I have an outline for a sequel somewhere. In the meantime, there's lots of great fic for you to enjoy, and thank you again for the lovely comment. It really made my day! ;D

I had a blast reading this..
I'm kinda hoping there will be a sequel..
Author's Response: Wow, thank you very much! :D It was the loveliest surprise getting a review on my oldest story. I'm really happy you enjoyed it. I have an outline made for the sequel, but I haven't had time to work on it in ... probably a year? Ouch, I didn't realize it was that long! But, I still think about these guys and I would love to work on them again. So, maybe this year? I hope? :D Anyway, thank you again very much for enjoying this story and commenting!

Oh my god! I'm so over emotional right now I just can't find the right words to describe what I'm feeling! :) I love your style of writing so so much! I love the characters and the idea, I love EVERYTHING about this story! *__*
Thank you so much for such amazing and positive fic :) Definitely add it to my favorites
Author's Response: Wow, thank you so much! Between this review and your email, I just can't stop smiling! :D I'm really happy you enjoyed this story, and I'm thrilled that you like my writing. That's the nicest compliment I've gotten in a long time! Thank you so much for reading and leaving this comment that brightened my entire weekend!

LOVE. THIS. Great characters.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! :D I'm really happy that you liked these guys. I'd like to visit them again someday. Thank you very much for reading and reviewing!

Oh lol! This was so cute! It's begging for a sequel!
Author's Response: Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it! :D I've had ideas for a sequel forever, but at the rate I'm writing, it might be a while. I'm so flattered that you want to read more. Thank you so much!
Date: 04/03/12 02:16 am Title: Chapter 2 – It could be a mystery, romance or thriller
Oh that was so sweet. I need more. Did they have more dates, did Bill start dressing him for events, did Bill start going as his date to events. So sweet. I loved it. Another nice job.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! You have no idea how excited I am to get reviews from you because I think you're a terrific writer. :D So, thank you very much for reading my stuff, and I'm thrilled you enjoyed it. I do want to write more to this story, but at the rate it's going, it might be a one-year anniversary story from the time I posted the first! Thank you again very much for reading and liking it!

(Argh I tried to submit my first review and it didn't work so it got deleted :( but here goes the second try lol)
Since I liked your other story (Spirit of love), I decided to check out your other stories and I must say I loved this one!
I like that you kept Tom's playboy personality (with his bodyguards choosing girls for him to sleep with).
The girls were also interesting lol, with their looking down on Bill and stripping to go skinny-dipping. I could picture that environment around him if he were to have a rapper solo career!
Although Tom cracked sex jokes, he was being a gentleman to Bill and even wants to ask him on other dates. The poem at the end was pretty great, it made me laugh XD
In short, it was funny, cute, realistic and overall it gave me a warm feeling in my heart. :) Thanks for the lovely read, Zeph317! ^^
Author's Response: Oh, wow, thank you so much! I'm really excited that you liked my stories enough to read more. I'm flattered! :D I'm really glad you liked Tom's character here. I think of all the things I've written, this one seemed to ring the most true for me. I think I managed to give him some layers here, instead of just being a one-note character. I'm so happy that came through for you. I'm glad the poem made you laugh! I'm truly the worst poet I know, and it can be fun to inflict that, I mean, share that with other people! ;D Thank you so much for this incredible review -- it truly left me beaming all night. You don't know how much I appreciate it. Thank you!

HAHAHA that's adorable, i love it!! Oh Tom *facepalm*
Author's Response: Heeee, thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed it! ^__^ Tom's definitely not as smooth as he likes to think. ;) Thank you so much for reading and reviewing!
Date: 02/18/12 12:40 pm Title: Chapter 2 – It could be a mystery, romance or thriller
I hope for a squeal
Author's Response: Thank you so much for reading! ^__^ There might be a sequel one of these days! I hope you enjoyed!
Date: 12/23/11 05:59 am Title: Chapter 2 – It could be a mystery, romance or thriller
Oh my God, this is so cute! I really really realllly hope you write more to it!
Author's Response: Wow, thank you so much! I'm really glad that you enjoyed this story. I haven't given up the idea of a sequel, so maybe someday. Thanks again for reading and reviewing! ^__^
Date: 11/26/11 11:04 am Title: Chapter 1 - Don’t judge a book by its cover
Oh PLEASE do a sequel! We have to know how the subsequent dates went! This was a great story, by the way. And Tom's poem made me laugh out loud.
Author's Response: I am so glad that you liked this story! I am proudly the worst poet ever, so poor Tom didn't stand a chance when it came to his rhymes. I've been thinking about a sequel to this for months, and I have some ideas floating around. So maybe? Someday? Thank you so much for reading this and reviewing!
Date: 11/06/11 07:46 pm Title: Chapter 2 – It could be a mystery, romance or thriller
*lol* Oh, this was hilarious! X-D And so very very awesomely cute! :-D What the fawk indeed! X-D
Author's Response: I am so glad this made you laugh! ^__^ Poor Bill can't get a break, and Tom is possibly the worst poet ever. These guys were so much fun; I still want to write a sequel to this someday. Thank you so much for reading, and I'm very happy you liked it!

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed this! ^__^ I've been kicking around ideas for a sequel for awhile now, so maybe someday? Thank you very much for reading and reviewing!
