Address any comments, concerns or complaints about my portrayal of Xiùlián here! This doubles as a contact/plotting post, so if you want to run a plot idea by me, you're welcome to do so here.

Note: Yú Xiùlián is Qing Dynasty Chinese; I'm a modern Western person. She is Confucian; I'm not. She exists in a wuxia universe; you get the drill. I'll do my best to portray her cultural context, but I'm always open to suggestions and corrections. I know that I know little—please tell me if I get it wrong.

This is a potpourri of information I've collected mostly by the power of Google. Mostly for my own reference, but hey, information should be free and shared.

Note: I try to use pinyin romanisation (with diacriticals when possible) for whatever Chinese terms I might employ. If I've messed anything up, kindly let me know!
