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 or sensitivity read: 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

Experience:
Story types/topics I will not beta or sensitivity read:
  • I'd rather not beta any POV stories.
  • Also the less AtS characters in a story, the better (except for Lorne, he makes everything better)
  • No Buffy/other, Spike/other sex scenes pls.
  • No babyfics and/or all human fics! 
  • Preferably no stories with vampire Buffy and/or human Spike (I might be convinced if it's a shorter story)

Experience: I don't have any past beta work, but I would like to start.
Story types/topics I will not beta or sensitivity read: Not really comfortable with sexual violence. 
Additional Comments: I am Chinese, but was born in Canada. Therefore I have a unique perspective of what it's like to be a minority in America and western culture.

Experience: I've done some beta work here and there, but most recently I have been working with WickedCheeto on her newest story, yet to be posted. 
Story types/topics I will not beta or sensitivity read: I enjoy all story types and topics. There isn't much that irks me, although I tend to cringe at any Buffy/Other or Spike/Other.
Additional Comments: I have been an avid reader of fan fiction since I was very young. I am also a HUGE Spuffy fan, and I know a great deal about BTVS. I also have my B.A.I.S. with a teaching certification, making it easy to assist with grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc.

Experience: I've betaed a couple of Doctor Who fanfics for a tumblr friend (if you'd like to check out the fic, send me a message and I'll link you).
Story types/topics I will not beta or sensitivity read: I'm not really interested in All Human, for one. And, to be honest, I reserve the right to not beta stories that do not catch my attention. It does not mean the story is bad or anything, I just feel like I'll give my best to a story that is more my type, that I genuinely like.
I have no knowledge of any of the comics, or the Angel series.
Crossovers accepted if I've watched/read the other 'verse. Just ask.
Additional Comments: Obs.: My "British English" comes from Doctor Who, Harry Potter and Sherlock.

Story types/topics I will not beta or sensitivity read: The only thing I can't do is M/M as I don't feel like I could it do the justice it properly deserves.
Additional Comments: As I am born and lived in England my whole life, there might be english words that I use that are different to a American beta, equally I'm half Irish and I tend to see alot of my family and they all have an Irish accent and I'm used to picking up words that they might use. which is good for someone who is writing either a Spike or Angel fanfiction or monolog. I am free and update with my current stories so if you want to message me please feel free equally if you want to email me it's msxgingerxninja@outlook.com 05/05/20.

Experience: I used to beta for a short time about six years ago.  I had to stop due to work commitments.
Story types/topics I will not beta or sensitivity read: I would prefer not to beta “all human” stories and stories based on the comic books.
Additional Comments: My full-time job requires me to review documents, presentations and speeches.  I think I have a good idea on how to make written materials that flow well, are grammatically correct and meet the author’s vision.
