Same, for the most part. I don't respond to kudos. However, I think I'm unusual in that I do respond to every AO3 comment. 

 

On FFN, I never responded to anything other than PMs, mostly because some of my stories (original fic and fics from a very popular anime series) got several reviews a day, and there's just no way I'd have the time to respond to all of those. Plus at the time there was no way to respond to comments on FFN.

 

On LJ I again responded to every review; this became time consuming, again, for my really popular fics (which, again, I attribute to the popularity of the anime and the pairing, not my writing skills lol), especially when people would leave multi-paragraph responses, I felt like I had to respond in kind.

 

I agree that a kudos is basically a thumbs up or a "like" :) I quite like it. It lets you know that someone popped by and read your story. That's enough for me. I'm honored someone took the time to just hit that button. Writers like to know people are ACTUALLY reading their stuff, even if they don't have time to comment. And I definitely don't expect everyone who reads should leave a comment. (Personally, I only comment when a story truly moves me.)

AO3 is driving me a little nuts. I can see that there ARE kudos (but not whether they said anything) and favorites, but not who left them or respond to anything. There are some things I find a lot easier on FF.net, but I like some of the looser style of AO3 too. This may be a case of my very uneven relationship with technology, however.

You can see who left Kudos (see image below). To see comments, simply click on the "Comments" button. You can then scroll further down the screen to see all comments that have been left.

Thanks R2, Arti, and Tishina for sharing your opinion on AO3 :) 

 

I respond to every comment on FF.net as well, but the Likes I stopped PM-ing ppl for. I never got a reply, so I feel kind of like you R2 about it :) I'll just use the same approach for AO3.

 

Ti, I'm sorry you're struggling with AO3. To me it seemed very similar to FF.net, except the tags. There are like a billion of them O.o I finally see what all of you have been talking about.

Thank you! That makes for a very interesting variation on the story, and makes the most sense of any of the romanced-take-lyrium versions I've seen.

 

As for Cullen's height relative to the Inquisitors, I feel they aren't consistent in their rendering (I tend to notice height differences a lot.) Some scenes, he appears to be the same height, in others, he's a little taller, maybe two or three inches. Occasionally, he seems to be more than that. My feeling is that he's probably supposed to be two to three inches taller. Solas may be taller than Cullen, I'm not sure I've seen them standing side by side, but Solas's build is clearly atypical for elves in DAI. I suspect a lot of the weird proportions and variable heights have to do with making some cut scenes simpler, sigh.

I agree they are not consistent with it.  There only seems to be a few body types and that's it.

I was under the impression he is a fairly large man.  Cullen is referred to as strapping which means big broad muscular. Sera has a line when you ask about him that goes something like if you want a Jackboot get a big one and grow into it.  In some of the early art he appears taller than Blackwall ( I'm thinking of the one at the table) so I always put him in the neighborhood of 6'2 and pretty muscular.

With Blackwall, you see your IQ laying on a pile of hay...you see boobies and that's it.

 

With Cullen, you see him nekkid in bed, but with conveniently placed IQ to cover up...stuff...

 

But with flycam you get some sweet views:

Okay I didn't see this until after. Darn he looks good!!  :wub:

Adding to what MMG said, when you click Kudos you don't say anything. It's just like Liking here, and a quick easy way to say, "I read it, I liked it, yay."
 
If someone wants to say something, then they leave a comment. You can set your account to e-mail you whenever someone makes a comment which might make it easier. That's normally how I end up reading them anyway and then click on the link to comment back.

Ha, I love this! As a recent heavier user of Tumblr, a word of advice - don't go into tags - where you just search for "Cullen" for example.  Try and follow bloggers that post things you like to see and just look at your dashboard feed. Tags can have some very strange and negative content. I see so many awesome things on my Tumblr dash though, every day it makes me laugh.

I know, and that butt when he runs off - so bootylicious.

 

I'm still salty about no shirtless Blackwall, speaking of body hair.

I just checked out my party selection screen for the first time after "confirming" Blackwall's romance, and ahem... check out his tarot card  ;)

Yeah I used to dabble in the BW thread and the idea is that this is our consolation for not seeing him shirtless in game.

Aw, thanks! :D

 

I had been taking shots of the Wicked Grace scene with flycam enabled. Once the scene had ended, I reloaded the quick save that was right before my Inquisitor talked to Varric to trigger the scene, and, since I still had flycam enabled, the camera was still in the tavern upon reloading. Normal Cullen, naked Cullen, and Josephine were hanging out there. It was very strange. :lol:

LMAO. Naked Cullen hangs out in the tavern? *gigglesnort*. Now I have this mental image, thank you ;) :P .

 

Coming to think of it, naked Cullen is probably their because of gambling.

I don't think you can. You can edit your post, though.

And at around 57:30 there is a hilariously told semi-explanation for the missing lion helm!! Still doesn't explain why they made it if they didn't intend to use it, but confirms some speculation around here about why it was in that trailer.

OMG they couldn't fix his lip syncing so they just covered up his face...classic. 

 

I still would have liked to see it in-game in those few scenes where it would have made sense....
