Ratings I'll beta: •G •PG •PG-13 •R •NC-17 •Adult Only
I can help beta read: •American English •Canon Elements •Grammar •Punctuation
Turnaround for an average length chapter: 4-7 days
Experience: I am a total beginner with fanfiction, but interested in trying my hand here. I am great with punctuation, spelling and grammar. My only real editing experience, aside from helping my kids with homework (after homeschooling for 7 years) was assisting my husband with his college papers when he was finishing up his degree a few years ago.
Story types/topics I will not beta or sensitivity read: Crossover fic, unless it is with AtS. I am unlikely to be familiar with other shows.
Additional Comments: I am more familiar with BtVS than Angel, but have a general grasp of AtS, just not the fine details. Familiarity with Ramones songs & punk bands. :)

Experience: I am fairly new to this but would love to try and get more involved in this amazing community. I promise I'm a fast learner.
Story types/topics I will not beta or sensitivity read: Don't particularly like time travel elements as it's a very complicated subject and from a scientific perspective, a lot can feel off if it's not done correctly.
Additional Comments: I'm a scientist and mathematician through and through. Meaning I'm very precise, to the point, and not a fan of contradictions. And I only give constructive feedback - and in a very nice manner. Also, all you authors out there are amazing and inspiring!

Turnaround for an average length chapter: 4-7 days
Experience: I beta or alpha on occasion, usually for people whose writing I know. My best-known beta work was for the Darkling by OffYourBird.
Story types/topics I will not beta or sensitivity read: I don't think I'd enjoy heavy torture. If it's just a chapter or so I can deal.
Additional Comments: It's probably best to take a look at one of my stories if you're wondering if we'd be compatible. I'm fine with breaking grammar rules for expressive purposes, and using some adverbs, and repetition with either a purpose or in the interests of being clear. I'm also happy to provide info like "this last line falls flat to me", but please think about what kinds of feedback you are comfortable with and let me know.
