I deliberately chose Joan Watson as the core of the story to make a change from the default white-male POV in most SH stories; it also let me have her view all the Victorian avatars as some sort of bizarre mutation of herself, rather than seeing Joan Watson as an odd variation on the "normal" white male Victorian Watson.
And if there's one thing a modern-day Chinese-American woman and a white Victorian Englishman agree on, it has to be tea!
