Beta experience: I don't have any fanfic beta experience yet, but I do have peer editing experience from Honors College writing intensive classes I've taken. Also, I love to read and write as well as give and receive feedback for works in progress. I find it helps the process go more smoothly to have another set of eyes on my work. Hopefully we can collaborate. Looking forward to exchanging drafts! :)

Additional Comments: I've been in the fandom since the series was on the air, and reading fanfic for almost as long, but this is my first serious foray into the world of writing and peer editing fics. I'm excited to be joining the Spuffy community in a more interactive way! Looking forward to getting to know you.

Beta experience: I don't have any beta experience, but I have always been the go-to gal for my family and friends for writing help (re: resumes, letters, school essays, and creative writing.) I don't miss much when it comes to grammar and spelling, but I do have some comma issues.
Story types/topics I will not beta: I can't think of anything I would not beta.
Additional Comments: My knowledge of the show and the comics is pretty encyclopedic, and I have all of the comics and the show on DVD that I can double-check for canon elements. I have not watched AtS (yet!), but I know quite a bit from reading fanfic for so long. I'm not the most creative person, but I'd love to participate in fandom more by being a beta!
The best way to get a hold of me initially is through a PM on the site - after initial contact is made I will know to check my gmail regularly.

Beta experience: I haven’t attempted to Beta for any Fanfiction but I have experience with proof reading essays/dissertations for students.
Story types/topics I will not beta: I’ll read anything, I’m not fazed.
Additional Comments: I’m born and raised in Southeast London, so I speak and live with the London dialect. I am a stickler for punctuation and grammar, I studied English Literature for A Level... far too many years ago. I’m happy to help anyone who is in need. I am not currently working so I have plenty of time on my hands to help out. Despite our reputation, I’m very friendly for a Londoner

Beta experience: this is actually my first experience in fanfiction (if you exclude a brief period in the Harry Potter fandom), but I really enjoy editing essays and occasionally do so for some of my friends. I am not a native english speaker (i'm Italian), but I do have a certified Cambridge C2 and read a lot of stuff in english- I love this language SO much- from fanfiction to novels to scientific studies, and I am generally considered a good writer, both in my mother tongue and in English.
Story types/topics I will not beta: I'm not really into angst and dark fics, but will read some if needed. The one things I absolutely refuse to edit are baby fics; children gross me out, sorry :)
Additional Comments: As i've said, I'm Italian, so any author that wants to include some dialogue in that language is welcome to contact me for some tips; I am also open to checking some latin/ (ancient) greek, as both are mandatory subjects in my school, but i promise no results. I do krav maga (i.e. a kind of street fighting created in the Israelian military), so I know something about fighting, but I am by no means an expert. Lastly, I have an interest in historical fashion, and have done some research on the topic, even some inspired by Spuffy fanfic I found on this archive (one especially which featured the famous last royal ball in the winter Palace, in 1903, and described the costumes as late 18th century french ballgowns even though the theme of the Ball was Russian traditional dress. Still remember that); i'm also willing to do more research, according to what's needed.
feel free to ask me anything, even something about a small detail or about the two lines of Italian you included in your fic; i hope what little knowledge i have will be helpful
