Experience: I've been a beta on and off for about two years now. I've participated in a few big bangs for other fandoms as a beta, as well as beta read stories for friends. I joined the Buffy fandom a little over a year ago, so I'm still fairly new but I have been reading Spuffy fic the entire time and I'm excited to take the next leap into betaing here!

Story types/topics I will not beta or sensitivity read: I haven't seen AtS or read the comics, so if your story requires canon knowledge of either of those then I'm probably not the right beta for you. 

Additional Comments: Response times will vary but I can't imagine it taking me more than a week to get a chapter (or more, maybe up to 20/30k?) back to you. If you send it to me with advance notice on a Saturday morning then you'll probably have it back by Sunday night, but my brain tends to be a bit mushy after work on weekdays which is not conductive to beta reading. 
In the past I've used both google docs and Word, but I'm happy to try out other easily accessible mediums. 
If you're interested, send me a message so we can chat about your story and what you're looking for in a beta to see if we'll be a good fit :)

Experience: I have never beta’d before, but I read my first Spuffy fanfic at 13 (pg of course!) and I have never looked back. I’ve been reading for a long time, but I really want to be a part of the process now. I myself am not a great fiction writer so I’d love to be a part of the writing process anyway I can. I am an English teacher with a BA in English. I am especially good with grammar and tense continuity and am more than happy to be your copy writer ;) I can turn around a chapter in a couple days during summer and federal holidays but take a little longer during the school year. Weekends are my beta days September-June. 

Story types/topics I will not beta or sensitivity read: I will not beta any story that includes sexual assault, rape, or dubious consent between Buffy and Spike. I don’t believe that Buffy, even out of character, would accept any romantic advances from someone who assaulted her. 

Additional Comments: I will adapt to what you need. If you’re looking for grammar corrections, I got you. If you don’t care about the grammar and only need plot and continuity work then that’s good with me. The beta works for the writer imo and I will adapt to your needs. As an English teacher I hope to provide quality and constructive feedback with both kindness and criticism. At least that’s what my students tell me 🖤

Experience: I've never beta-ed before but would really like to give this a shot. I work as an advertising writer IRL and have been doing this for 16 years. I'm adept at editing and would be happy to help if you want someone to bounce plot ideas with. I'm also a history buff and am available to help you with research should you need it.

Additional Comments: I'm new to fanfiction and fandom in general although I've been madly in love with Spike for about 20 years.

Turnaround for an average length chapter: 1-2 weeks

Experience: I first gained beta’ing experience through story feedback exchanges with writer friends in the OF realm.
Since late 2022, I have started beta’ing for EFers on the regular and am loving it.
I try for a 7 day turnaround but have set it to 1-2 weeks for now because I am studying for my master’s as well as working 30h/week, so delays might occur. I am probably most helpful for spelling & grammar, structural edits and input on characterization and story flow. Ultimately I believe your story is your baby (or cat, if you dislike kids, lol) and my job as a beta is to make it shine more while keeping your writing style and ideas intact.

PS: I periodically forget that the DM function on the site exists. I am easier to reach via Discord DM (my username there is sari_simmony).

Story types/topics I will not beta or sensitivity read: I’m generally open to anything, though not a big fan of all human stories. But overall, I pick stories for the tone, themes, characterization and plot, so I wouldn’t categorically say no anything. If the concept excites me, I’m in. I usually want to see an excerpt to see if I'm the right person for your story before fully committing.

Additional Comments: + I speak/read/can help with use of foreign languages (German, French, some Spanish)
+ My day job is in social work so I’m familiar with psychology-adjacent topics.
+ I live in Western Europe so might be able to provide insight into European settings.
+ I love learning about history (especially European and American history), neurodiversity and musical theater. These look weird stuck together but I know a bunch about all three if that should ever, for whatever reason, become relevant.

Story types/topics I will not beta or sensitivity read:

Additional Comments: While I do not yet have beta experience, I am a very skilled writer with great knowledge of grammar, punctuation, and structure. I frequently proofread and review papers for my brother's and my friends' college courses. I excelled on the writing section of the SAT, scoring a 780 out of 800, supporting my understanding of the written word.
I have read countless Spuffy stories and am familiar with numerous authors and works, so I can provide input to help prevent any unintentional plagiarism and to develop unique plot devices.
I have watched BTVS and ATS numerous times, and I own most of the comics. Thus, I have a strong and vast knowledge of canonical and character elements within the Buffy-verse, and I can provide feedback on canon-compliance and characterization.
I'm super willing to help out or chat with anyone who might be interested!
