Well, that's a new one

Dear Writers,

When someone hears a rumor, they're hearing things on the grapevine, not the grape-wine.

I mean, seriously.

Sincerely amused,

SBG

*laughs and laughs and laughs*

Yes, I was thinking about describing eye colour (and who the hell does describe it??? I get asked by my mum "Oh, how tall was he? What colour is his eyes?" and I have to go bzuh, I have no idea, didn't take any notice.)

Edit to fix bracket, as I've used LaTeX too much not to.

Moss green is one I've seen in NCIS. Cerulean used to drive me barmy in Stargate fic (also, seriously, fandom, can we at least decide on the colour of their hair? Daniel in the series had *brown* hair. Not blonde. Also seen the same issue with Dean. There are different types of brown hair. His, at a stretch, I'd describe as dirty blonde, but never blonde by itself.)

Heee. The hardest part will be writing *them* with a thesaurus issue. Might have to start with ordinary dialogue and translate it afterwards.
