Herewith, a couple of the sites I referred to at the "Beta Reading" panel:

Mailing Lists

The fanfic_med mailing list. Good place to get medical information for stories.

The fanfic_geography mailing list. Writing a story set in a city/country you know nothing about? Ask here, and someone might be able to help you out.

The fanfic_law mailing list. A place to ask law questions for use in stories.

This should be a good resource.
