I have a rough draft of a 4250 word fic. It's an AU for Torchwood/Doctor Who, imagining the origin story for a Chinese-American Captain Jack Hark Lee in 1937 Shanghai during the Second Sino-Japanese War aka the War of Resistance Against Japan. Jack and real!Jack are both in it (this will only make sense if you know a bit of the backstory).
I'm Japanese-American, not Chinese-American, and I really, really need a beta/Canto-pick. I did a ton of research, but I'm sure I have many errors in the names of characters and so on. If someone reads this here and can do it, that would be awesome, and if I don't hear anything in the next week I'll also try contacting the people on the list posted above. I'm hoping for someone who knows some Cantonese and knows a little bit about the time period in question... knowledge of Doctor Who/Torchwood would be helpful but not necessary. This wouldn't need to be a full beta, more of a pick for 1) character names 2) some terms 3) major historical/cultural anachronisms.
You can contact me at aznjackfiend at aol.com. Thanks!
I will also offer to beta as a Japanese-American resource, a Japan resource (although a very limited one, as I don't speak Japanese) and I can also do limited beta for stuff set in Mexico (lived there briefly, speak Spanish).
