Any chinese members? Collaberation or just some insight

[waratah]

I'm writing a romance story and would appreciate some assistance with cultural insight. Preferably female, desirable an author but not essential.

Thanks

She’s also spent time in Oz, if that helps. I believe it was Adelaide, but never mind...

Trying again

no luck with Chloe. But it did motivate me to read her work which I enjoyed.

So looking for a cursory look and advice.

Ideally, ideally a 20 something female Chinese author with some English skills.

But at this stage I'd take advice from anyone who fits any of those criteria. Lol.

Story is about 2/3 written. It's sensitive and respectful (i think). But need that cultural/female opinion if possible.

I can't help, but might be worth specifying what kind of Chinese. China's a big country with a lot of different groups and languages, even before getting into the diaspora.

Thanks for your thoughts, I hadn't thought about that. But I am open to tailoring the story if my hoped for advisor has preferences. Lol

I find it hard to believe that someone who calls himself/herself Waratah, the floral emblem of NSW, a state which contains half a million Chinese the major proportion of which are young cannot find out for yourself.

In fact at 5.6% of all Australians by Ancestry + 150,000 temporary students it's pretty hard not to know a few Chinese. Almost 3 times as many as Aboriginal Australians.

Apologies in advance if I am just being a cynical old sod.

I know plenty of Australians of Chinese extraction, but none that I'd be comfortable going to for advice about an erotic romance story.

Tried with two acquaintances. No luck prolly 95% of the real world think erotic writers are weird. Not going to risk that any more.

If no luck with advice I'll just publish and be damned.
