Tor got me a kickass culture expert too, their notes were amazing, like that "polishing mirrors" an old-timey Chinese euphemism for lesbian sex 😂 AND THEY GOT MY CHINESE PUNS

@slhuang @sffbipoc working on my first xianxia story, along with a crossover involving the Legend of White Snake and the Little Mermaid.

Once I get some time around the holidays, I want to finally work on that xianxia series that's a mashup of Sword & Fairy and Final Fantasy.

@CodenameMinaLi oh I LOVE IT! I don't know S&F or FF that well but LotWS/LM sounds like the perfect mashup!
@slhuang admittedly I was inspired by you doing the same thing with LotWS/Red Riding Hood/Hou Yi and figured I'd try it out myself!
@CodenameMinaLi oh my gosh, I'm honored. Go for it!!
