Hee! I've had comments to this effect. What do you guys think? Course I don't write very much, so you may have no idea, which is fine.

her dress was red, her hair golden??
What style is that and please tell me I don't use it, because it sounds nasty. *blinks*

I just meant that I'm never going to write what colour anybody's eyes are (unless it serves a purpose) or what they're wearing, etc., and that sort of description isn't necessarily necessary.

No, you don't use that description.

Some people seem to think that writing fic means you *need* to put in that sort of description, when we all know what the characters look like. Sometimes it's useful, but sometimes not. Like, yes, on the planet that our characters are going to, it's useful to describe what the planet is like...just as long as we don't spend like three paragraphs doing it. Because people will just skip that.

And, man, I love that icon.

Hee, I love it too. It comes in handy quite alot more often than I would have imagined too. Gotta love those Asgard and Hermiod swears all the time, which cracks me up.

Hee, I have so described eye colour at least once...in 'memory in a touch' and I had so much trouble deciding what colour Shep's eyes were that I've never done it again.

...but it was necessary and I totally get what you mean. *grins*
