[dharmavati]

I think I offered beta skills in your original Yuletide post but never specified fandoms. :P I can beta some of the Indian fandoms:

Bend It Like Beckham
Dil Bole Hadippa
Fashion (movie)
Jab We Met
Kal Ho Naa Ho
Luck By Chance (movie)
Mr. and Mrs. Iyer (film)

I should qualify my betapicking skills in that I do not speak/understand Hindi natively but I can help with questions about general Indian culture. I can also specifically help with Tamil/Iyer culture if you find anyone needing help with Mr. and Mrs. Iyer. :D

Added you to the list!

[athenejen]

Oh! I realize I wasn't clear in my previous posts. I'm actually not that familiar with Coffee Prince or Brown Sugar Macchiato, but you can keep Initial D (movie) and add The Seven Samurai, Genji, Journey to the West, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, most Studio Ghibli anime and related manga, and anything related to Chinese history. There's a fair chunk of Asian-American history and Japanese history I could cover as well.

Fixed, thanks!
