Reviews For: The Burden of Command

Misti Wolanski 2007-03-30 ch 1,	abuseHey, this was pretty good. I rather liked it. I think that more development would have further helped it, but it's still pretty well-built as-is. Keep writing! -Misti
Tony the jew 2007-02-24 ch 3,	abuseRommie has it the hardest out of all of them. She can lve for who knows how long, people have laws and prejudice against AIs, And don't think about how she feels. Great story
ilexx 2006-09-14 ch 3,	abuseIf there ever could be a perfect story, this would be it. Wonderful!
Xeromem 2005-09-20 ch 3,	abuseThat was very good. I loved the action but Rommies thoughts and feelings were the best part of the story.
Xeromem 2005-09-20 ch 2,	abuseI like all the background info you have in this chapter because it even more realistic. I also like how you describe the effect of Trance's changing with her older self had on the crew. The chapter ended on a rather ominous note.
Xeromem 2005-09-20 ch 1,	abuseThis story is off to a great start. You hit the nail squarely on the head with the comments and attitudes of the other crewmen at the ball. Great job.
LittleRedhead 2005-09-19 ch 3,	abuseNice job. You really have Rommie in character. It's nice to see a Rommie story.
acidfinn 2005-09-19 ch 3,	abuseWow. This is absolutely amazing, one of the best Andromeda fics I've ever read. Rommie-centered fics are my favourites, the angst, the drama, so classic. I especially liked how it ended. Not "happily-ever-after" but still wonderful. You made it realistic, the characters were more believable, which is more important than most authors realize. I'm a sucker for the angsty, bittersweet Rommie moments, particularly the ones that contain Dylan. As for the writing portion...the grammar, spelling and overall context was very efficient. Beautifully written. Hats off to you.
Troll99 2005-09-19 ch 3,	abuseThere are very few stories out there, which I find absolutely fantastic and this is undoubtedly one of them. From the fact, that the topic you picked up is really an original one (I've never read a story in which Rommie would take a command... sorry, I did one - Benefits out of R. Franke's pen) up to the exquisit mix of various emotions. Reading chapter one, I really had no idea, what was yet to come and the title was somehow disturbing, out of place... However, already chapter 2 cleared everything and with this one the circle is closed. I believe that your description of characters was excellent, especially Rommie and Dylan were the way they were in best seasons of the show, 1&2. Dylan's little speech at the end almost made my eyes wet. Just the way I imagined why there cannot be any love relationship between the two of them in the given time and place, but it's entirely possible in another time and place. Well, it's the reality, while all my stories handle exactly this pairing. That's the benefit of fan fiction: you can do whatever you want with your favourite and least favourite characters. I also have to mention, that this story perfectly fits in the AU you and your co-writer have created. That's another plus: each story fits exactly into time and place of this AU. Thanks for this really beautiful story!
L. C. Brotherton 2005-09-18 ch 1,	abuseI'm excited to be the one to start the line of reviews for this piece! I really enjoy your treatment of Rommie in this story. The emerging friendship with Snowdell is refreshing for me, as I often forget that AIs can be social creatures as easily as organics are. This is well-written (as always) and will be a real treat for anyone who appreciates an excellent story!
