Well written. Very sad. Very sweet.

That was so sad, it literally made me cry. Fantastic story and writing style, great job.

gods... this was beautiful.. honestly.. I stand up and applaud for you... I.. words cannot describe the emotions rushing through me right now... simply to say... this is an amazing bit of writing... a perfect bit of reality.. of life--or rather: Life and reality as it should have been in the A.I. world... Indeed... what the idea should be... the best idea... A thing of beautiful crystal structure held in an eternal loop from now until The End... in a world where so many humans would be so much more content to smash such thoughts in a brutal rage, extinguishing the light forever in the moment where fear, pain and sadness reaches the utter pinical of emotion...

Beautiful.

Good job... very... very good job...

...Wow. I'd say this is fantastic, or great, or wonderful, but I really need to improve on my vocabulary.
I'd imagine deactivating mecha-children (or whatever you might call it) is a heart-wrenching job for the people who do it.
I hate Cybertronics! You'd think they'd be human enough to have the sense to not sell David's siblings.
And I think we all agree that as long as your love is real, it doesn't matter if you're not. Yes, I know, I just took A.I.'s teaser whatchamacallit and added a few words, but I needed to rant.
Anyway, I hope you write more fics like this! One of the best I've ever read!

I was just browsing around and found this. Wow...VERY piognant. And very, very well written. Forgive me if I point out one tiny error; the word "site"... I think you mean "sight". I've seen other authors made the same mistake. But it's very minor, anyway. This is absolutely excellent fic I ever read. So sad and so moving...and all the more power to you!

OMG!

I cried, It's so well written and heart-wrenching!

::sob::

This is so sad!

I actualy read this fic on your site, but I was glad you put this here, since this is slightly easier to print out (My eyesight is a little weak, so I print out fics and read 'em at my leisure later instead of getting eyestrain squinting at the screen).
Like your other fics, this is very thought-provoking and philosophical...and it's appropriately dark. I've often talked with friends, therapists, etc. about the dark quality there is to Christmas/the Decembver holidays, and this fills the bill. Also gives us a perspective on the techs who have to work on David's siblings and their reaction to certain thankless tasks...
