Eyes: Windows on the soul, or cheap writer's aid?

[penfold_x]

OMG, stop the incessant referral to characters by their eye color. Yes, eyes can be expressive, but they're not the end-all, be-all of character interaction. If read one more story in which "blue eyes met brown" I am just going to vomit. And then take the characters' names and do a 'find and replace all' for eye references.
