Turnaround for an average length chapter: 4-7 days
Experience: I’ve beta’d for several authors ranging in several different fandoms. I’m strongest at helping you smooth out your prose, finding repetitive words and phrasing, and bouncing back and forth ideas for where wips can head to.
Story types/topics I will not beta or sensitivity read: Genuinely happy to read most plots, but would prefer to keep non-con stuff not too graphic. 
Additional Comments: I hail from Kent in England, close to the fictional homes of both Giles and Spike, so language and vernacular for those two characters I have a bit of an edge.

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 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.

Experience: I beta for bewildered, cawthraven, EllieRose101, and occasionally DarkVoid116
Story types/topics I will not beta or sensitivity read: I will not read:
  • Threesomes (unless an alternate version of Spuffy is the third)

I can help beta read: •British English  •Canon Elements  •Grammar  •Plot Suggestions  •Punctuation 
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.
