Yay! Maybe for the plants thing.... any living "creature," since creature implies an animal, something ambulatory that's conscious.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for helping me with that! I'm going to go attempt to edit (or blow up the entire Web site trying). You are love! <3

Looking forward to more
Author's Response: Glad you're enjoying it! ^__^ Only one more chapter and epilogue to go. Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Wow, awesome beginning!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! ^__^ Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Awwww you are just fantastic!! i smiled so big when I saw my name and story in the end notes. ^_^
And, goodness! Tom thinks there's a model that looks like him so he can walk around Tokio safely? Oh shoot..
Somehow, the last sentence seems to foreshadow precisely the opposite of what it says. I seriously cannot wait to see what happens!
This was a fantastic chapter and I am eagerly awaiting your next post!
Thanks again for being so sweet and talking about my story! Not only was I already happy because of your chapter, but then you went ahead and made my face light up. :D
Author's Response: Why does everyone think something terrible is about to happen? Doesnt anyone share in Bills naοve positivity and looking-on-the-bright-side attitude? Anyone? *crickets chirp* Yeah, me neither. It wouldnt make much of a story, I guess. ~__^ I really hope the last chapter doesn't disappoint -- if it does, you better tell me so I can fix it. I'm glad you didn't mind the shout-out to you. When I was thinking of an excuse for Bill to tell of why there was a shirtless Tom on a billboard, the first thing that came to mind was "Tom's obviously been working out." I guess they have home gyms on Tokio. >__< I think you've definitely influenced my Bill-muse. Thanks a lot! ;)

oh my. david is such a snake. i hope they can eat without incident.
Author's Response: Poor David -- no one respects a man just trying to make a living hustling porn. >__< I can promise you they make it through the meal. After that... I hope you enjoy the rest of the story! ^__^ Thanks for reading and reviewing!

No. They. Won't. Bill is afraid of betraying Tom's trust...so he keeps lying to him? This kid needs to tell Tom before they get into a huge mess.
Author's Response: Poor Bill is hoping they can get away with it. Poor Tom is blissfully unaware. I hope you enjoy the ending and aren't disappointed. ^__^ Thank you so much for reading and reviewing!

Gah, I had to be the 70th reviewer... 69 is a special number, I guess. Gah I'm just being weird. I like to review you twice, because it gives me two different impressions. Then I can give you two different kinds of feedback, so it's all for you Zephy!
I found it perfectly ok that there wasn't smut this chapter. Sometimes smut gets overbearing and clogs up the progression of the story. It's nice to fap to, but I'm reading this for content and plot mainly. And cuz I love you. But yes, the story is great. And honestly, sex got them into this mess in the first place... logically, sex may or may not get them out. Superfluous sex isn't necessary between now and then, you know?
How Tokios eat... plants are living things, too. I got what you meant, though. And mmm... soapy, slick, alien Bill in the shower. My mind is in the gutter, and there it stays.
Bill and Georg are really in a conundrum, aren't they? They've gone and connected with those whom they're soon to betray. And it's made so much messier because they're humans.
I love the plug at the end for mohanrocks and Work Out. Yay! She got featured! *whispers* maybe that'll be YOU one day! I love that you integrated Work Out with your own story. I love both you and her so much, it's like a giant love fest to see you mentioning her.
Author's Response: Pshaw, you are silly! ~__^ You made me laugh when you said about 69 being a special number. You are so incredibly sweet to read this twice (even though I feel bad about inflicting it on you again and again). Thanks for not being disappointed about the lack of sex. If I were a more confident smut writer, I think it could have worked. Instead, I'll stick with the fade-to-black... and the overwhelming image of soapy Bill. *drooooool* I'm sorry if I insulted any plants by suggesting that they are not living things. *pets grass lovingly* I didn't phrase that well at all. How can I make it read better and more accurately? I'm glad you caught that Bill and Georg have connected with the humans. How can you turn around and betray people you've spent days with, played games with, made love with? I don't know. I firmly believe that my Bill-muse was heavily influenced by Work Out. Mohanrocks is *awesome* and totally rocks my socks! Just like you do! You ladies are THE BEST!

Omg Work Out was such a great fic wasn't it?!?!?
Very smooth lie Bill. And I can't believe Jost is blackmaling them! That bastard! Its all his fault in the first place! He really is a typical sleazy porn producer. For shame! *smacks him*
I really hope things turn out ok for the guys. Maybe Bill should tell Tom the truth...or maybe a modified version of it. Like that they had been filming for the first time, Bill forgot during, and then didn't want to get rid of it after, Jost hacked into the computer, and blackmailed them into letting him sell the vid. And now he is blackmailing them again. It could work.
I am really anxious to see what comes next! Keep up the wonderful work!
Author's Response: Work Out was fabulous! I laughed so hard every single chapter. When I had Bill trying to come up with a lie for a shirtless Tom on an ad, the first thought was working out. It seemed to fit, with him looking all buff and stuff. I *know* it was completely influenced by that fic! Poor Bill just can't lie very well. I can't believe Tom's fallen for it this long. :P Jost is definitely based on a stereotypical sleazy porn producer. There has to be a bad guy somewhere. I really hope you like the rest of this fic. Only one chapter and the epilogue to go! Thank you so much for reading and especially for your wonderful reviews! ^__^

I get so excited every time I see an email in my in box hoping it's an update to this story...when it is I flip my shit. I LOVE this story!
Author's Response: Thank you very much! It makes me so happy to know that you're enjoying this! *___* Thank you so much for sticking with it. Only one chapter and an epilogue to go. I hope you enjoy them too! ^__^
Date: 08/25/11 10:28 pm Title: Chapter Seven Come and Bring Me Back to Life
Haha! Work Out is a brilliant fic =) My god Bill and Tom are so cute in this! Especially the beginning of the chapter, when they spent days just being together and enjoying some alone time, adorable! Now they are in a tough situation tho... Certainly someone is going to recognize Tom considering the movie is so popular! Doesn't seem like a good idea to go out like that! It's gonna lead to some interesting things for sure! Looking forward to the next chapter =)
Author's Response: Why doesn't anyone agree with Bill's hopeful attitude that *everything will be fine*? ~__^ Poor Bill has gotten himself into a bind, but do you think Tom will be able to forgive him if he tells the truth? I really hope you enjoy the ending and aren't disappointed! Thank you so much for all your encouragement and reviews! *___*
Date: 08/25/11 09:26 pm Title: Chapter Seven Come and Bring Me Back to Life
HA!
Here come all the screaming fans of the "work out" video. Tom is sooo gonna get noticed.
Author's Response: Poor Bill -- why does no one seem to agree with him that things will be *fine* when they all go out in public? >__< I hope you enjoy the rest of the story! Thank you so much for your reviews!
Date: 08/25/11 08:58 pm Title: Chapter Seven Come and Bring Me Back to Life
LOL funny inspiration for bill. dude tho, sheer shirt? nipples? visible alien difference? uhh...bill probably should have thought of that, unless...it's not that sheer. but yah, either way, the masses are going to mob him, i'm guessing. TOOOOM!!!!! OMGGG SCREW ME NOW, TOMMMM! xD i'm sure that'd sound familiar to RL Tom. yayyyyy, but i'm a bit upset, as you said this would be 8 chapters and then an epilogue? what am i gonna do without this?? lol, maybe write my big bang...xD
Author's Response: Are you sure you didn't somehow hack my computer and read ahead? ~__^ Bill believes everything will be *fine*, nothing will go wrong. Let's see how wrong he is! I'm so glad you're enjoying this. The last chapter should be up tomorrow and the epilogue the next day. I hope you like it just as much! And that was a good catch you made about the shirt -- thank you! I definitely meant "thin" shirt, not "sheer." I had in mind the shirt Tom was wearing in those pap photos when they lunched in L.A. and were carrying Coke cups. He was wearing a shirt that was a thin fabric and you could see some skin tone, but not anything else. It looked great on him to see his actual body shape for once!
Date: 08/25/11 07:29 pm Title: Chapter Seven Come and Bring Me Back to Life
Lol, my god... this has got to be one of the stickiest situations I've ever read on here XD
And even if that logic was true -- that people wouldn't think Tom is human because there's a Tokio model that looks like him -- they would STILL mob him because they'd think he's this "model" XD
Author's Response: Bill has definitely gotten himself in trouble. He's really not a convincing liar here. Like you said, people won't suspect Tom of being an alien but they *might* recognize him from the vid. Poor Bill can't admit that, so he's trying to keep Tom hidden to avoid the issue altogether. But, he has to give in eventually (because, you know, *plot*) but I like to think it's because a pouting Tom would just be irresistible. :P And who knows how many fanboys this "model" might have... >__< I really hope you enjoy the rest of this crazy story!
Date: 08/25/11 07:28 pm Title: Chapter Seven Come and Bring Me Back to Life
I love that fanfic! I'm so happy it was featured! I also love this one. So kickass :)
Author's Response: Work Out was one of the most hilarious things I've ever read! It was crazy! <3 I am so glad you're enjoying this story too! Hope you like the rest as much. Thank you again for reading and reviewing! ^__^

Looooove this! The
Story's awesome and your writing style is great.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! ^__^ I'm really glad you're enjoying this. Hope you like the rest of the story just as much! Thank you for reading and reviewing!

*gigglesnorts* oops.
I just discovered this fic. It. Is. Amazing. Seriously, I can't complement it enough. I love the chapter length, and the more than reasonable update schedule. Six chapters in,whats it been, 13 days? Awesome. And its all well written and there is a good amount of dialogue.
I can't believe you totally went to the Adam Lambert place. It was beautiful...
So...how long agin were they here originally exactly? We were all hairy...or was that just a particularly hairy male specimen?
After reading this, I have decided that I would pay big money to get inside your head for like, five minutes. It seems like a weird, possibly scarey, sexy place.
And damn Jost for lying to those boys! *smacks him*
Keep up the wonderful work! I am looking forward to seeing the next installment! *hugs*
Author's Response: Oh wow! Thank you so much! I'm really happy you like this! ^__^ It devoured all my free time for a few weeks while I was writing, so I'm excited to finally be able to inflict it on -- I mean share it with -- others. I totally went to the Adam Lambert place. :P I'm glad you thought it was funny, too. I like Adam and his music, but it surprises me when people think it's his picture on a T-shirt with three other guys and the words "Tokio Hotel" above it. I don't see that much of a resemblance. Re: the hair issue, I won't tell you how many History channel shows I've watched on alien abductions (they're so bad; they're a guilty pleasure). It seems that recent alien abduction stories picked up in the late '60s and 70s through today. So, I figured if Bill's people were examining human men in that period, it was long before the trimmed and groomed guys today. Plus the men from porn in that era are really, really hairy compared to the waxed/shaved guys now. O_o I would *gladly* let you rummage around in my brain for free if you promise to clean out or organize some of the stuff in there. Just take it with you! ^__^ That's quite possibly the most awesome compliment I've ever received, and I'll laugh along with it forever. Thank you so much for your incredible review! Made my night! *hugs* P.S. Let me know when you wanna borrow my brain. I only use it about two hours a day.

ohh my, Tom's gonna be pissed!!!! you write this fiction so well, and it's hard to write a good, readable sci-fi/ romance story. and you pull it off beautifully. can't wait for the next chapter!!! *adds to favorites*
Author's Response: Wow, thank you so much for the incredible compliment! You are much too kind! ^__^ I'm just really glad you're enjoying this story. It's been a crazy, fun thing to write, so I'm excited that other people like it, too. Hope you enjoy the rest just as much! Thank you very much for reading and reviewing!

OH SNAP! dang, i didnt even think of that one. MAN, you've got all details COVERED. soooooo thorough, event he weightless feeling of looking out into space. very very understandable and believable, and yet I still would never have thought of it!
and you're SOOO welcome. :)
Author's Response: I can't even imagine what it would feel like to ride into space, but I get sweaty palms just thinking about it. And a queasy stomach. Good thing Tom likes roller coasters! Thank you for liking all the details I tried to include. ^__^ And thanks for all your encouragement about this story AND again for the gorgeous banner!
Date: 08/24/11 03:10 am Title: Chapter Six Save Me With Your Love Tonight
Okaaaay, how adorable are they? Making out in secluded places on the ship, not being able to keep their hands off of each other. Soooo cute. Seriously.
And ohhhhh snap! They are already promoting the Tom and Bill porn, on Tokio? Bill has some explaining to do!
Gah. I loved this chapter. I cannot wait for the next. And also, your review responses were so sweet and attentive. I love that. I really do. So, thank you!
As to how to write sex and make it not seem so clinical? I don't think you have an issue with that at all, honestly. You are a great writer and you somehow make human/alien sex seem natural. That's a talent, right there ;) But, if you ever want to message me on livejournal or email me about it, I would looove to talk to you about writing.
Mainly because well...I think you're really great at it, and also um...*looks down at toes* I just like talking to you. :)
Excellent chapter and I cannot wait for the next! And for real, feel free to message me anytime you want to. I'd love it. :D
Author's Response: I'm so glad that you like this! Poor Tom. He's the focus of Jost Entertainment's biggest ad campaign ever. Would it be worse to find out you're an alien porn star or just live in blissful ignorance? I don't know, but I have a feeling Bill's lies are eventually going to catch up with him. ;) While I think real-life Tom would get a kick out of starring in a porno, I don't know about this Tom. I appreciate your sweet lies about my sex writing, but I feel like the worst porn writer ever. It's just ... eh. I either blush the entire time I'm writing or giggle at words like "cock" and "hard." I'm such wimp. But I love your wonderful lies, so any time you wanna whisper them in my ear, go right ahead! I will e-mail you through LJ -- I'd love to talk with you too, cutiepie! And thanks again, seriously, for the encouragement. I'm keeping fingers and toes crossed that you will like the rest of the story. *HUGS*
Date: 08/24/11 12:16 am Title: Chapter Six Save Me With Your Love Tonight
Oh shit. And Bill thought Tom wasn't happy about having to leave Earth. :/
Author's Response: Bill had better have a great excuse, or Tom had better be pretty damn forgiving by the time this all comes out. Or, Tom might like the idea of being an alien porn star. ~__^ Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!
