I can help beta read: •American English  •Canon Elements  •Grammar  •Plot Suggestions  •Punctuation 
Turnaround for an average length chapter: 1-3 days
Experience: While I have not betaed, I am extremely well versed in the particulars of everything BtVS the show. My job required me to proofread and pay attention to small details for anything written for or by any staff member in the company.
Story types/topics I will not beta or sensitivity read: All human
vampire Buffy
stories using the characters basic names/personalities but otherwise have little to nothing to do with the series
Any torture or rape that isn’t essential to the story line
Additional Comments: I’m not a fan of anything that portrays any of the characters in an extremely terrible way or completely lacking flaws. 
For many years I was in charge of a business that required a lot of proofreading, grammar, punctuation, and making sure all new documents had the necessary elements from previous interactions and documents.
I know the major plot points to the BtVS comics and the Angel & Faith comics as well having access to them all to refer to them. In addition, I know key elements in Angel.

Turnaround for an average length chapter: 4-7 days
Experience: None
Story types/topics I will not beta or sensitivity read: I will beta anything but I may not be helpful editing anything particularly sexual.
Additional Comments: I’ve been spuffy obsessed since I was about 13 but only recently discovered this amazing community. I am extremely good at remembering canon elements so one of my biggest strengths would be at clarifying timelines for any stories that deviate from canon but still contain canon elements.

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.
