Eat Chinese tonight... lol
Being an aficionado of coffee shops, haven't we all thought this?
Busy places, coffee shops. Most Lit writers I know spend far too much time hanging around in them.
... chinese girls sitting there working on their laptops and who REALLY knows what they're writing. LOL. I actually wrote this one in a coffee shop so that was bit tongue in cheek.
Ho Lee Fuk, that name. Its actually Ching-Ching. I thought it was an offhanded racist insult until they kept using it.
Good story though, you should consider a Starfucks sequel.
I love your work. The humor adds so much. You must have an incredible sense of humor. So refreshing from the freak stuff. Keep it up.
Ching is actually a unisex given name for real and it can also be a family name in chinese. So Ching-Ching is more of an affectionate version. I had a friend we all called Ching-Ching at college and another who was Ling-Ling. So definitely not racist, no. I think it's rather cute myself. Sadly, I don't actually have a chinese given name myself....
Given the topic of the story, your "tongue in cheek" comment was itself a bit tongue in cheek. Delightful story. It brightened my morning.
One of the most engaging and best written stories I have read here!
You hit a perfect place between funny and genuinely erotic. A sweet, smart, sexy little bagatelle.
Lao Tzang, I always mentally take notes reading your stories. You have two 'tropes' that you use often, and I wonder about 'quoting' them. First, you do this 'looping back' thing where you say what you said but slightly differently, and then you do it again, and probably again. And I wonder, "Does this increase the turn on? Are you getting each reader on their date with 'one-hand Mei Mei or Juan' to build up until you set them free? Or is it sometimes too much? And you are in a fine position to dance the 小婊子 in front of your readers; no shame in trotting out the secret beefsteak-boy fantasy of the Asian girl who, beneath that cultivated cool is just dying to do *anything*. But I am a bit eager to see you portray the bi-cultural woman with more reluctance; maybe angry at stereotyping, maybe surprised that she is more sexual than baba and mama taught her to be. Need to read more of your stuff. Maybe it is there. Maybe you could could point at it. Meanwhile, I'll look again at my own stories for the K.I.S.S. factor.
