Beta experience: I haven't betad any fanfic but I have done some professional editing and writing, and I taught writing for adults at one time.  I love some angst, and building tension - not so good with the fluff.  My favorite seasons are the late one, and my sweet spot is post NFA.

Story types/topics I will not beta: No mpreg, all human, or major character bashing.

Additional Comments: I love research.

Beta experience: I betaed a chapter of "A Slayers Fortune" by VeronaFiernan. I aslo betead "Inner Demon=Literal Cat" by Desicat (on EF). I've beta read several of ClowniestLivEver's works. (See my "beta for" tab on my profile for the complete list of stories that I have beta read).
I am one quarter away from having my BA in creative writing. This means I've taken a lot of creative writing classes and have helped peers improve their work in workshops. 

Story types/topics I will not beta: I will not beta stories with the following (value neutral): 

• Sexually explicit content, UNLESS I have an existing relationship with the author. Fics rated NC-17 or AO for violence/torture and not sexual content, however, I WILL beta. Just mention that when reaching out, please. 
• Squicks: Incest (pseudo-incest and self-cest OK), cannibalism (blood drinking by vampires is fine), graphic depictions of body fluids (not including blood or sexual fluids). 
• Stories with temp Spike/other or Buffy/other, especially temp Spike/Dru or Spike/Angel, or Buffy/Angel or Buffy/Riley, stories with a heavy focus on any of these past 'ships, beakups, or cheating (polyships/threesomes OK). 
• Character/ship bashing, comparing the present love interest to a past one and explaining why they're "better", etc. If you'd like me to read your fic and tell you if it strikes you as bash-y, that's A-OK! 
• Fic with a heavy focus on political issues, including identity politics. Often called "issuefic". 

Additional Comments: I have a solid grasp of BtVS/AtS canon. My knowledge of the comics is very broad ideas of a few storylines. 
My original major was in biology, and I have a minor in psychology. Happy to help with the basics of either of these things. 
I love violent stuff please send me all the horrible torture. Seriously I love that stuff. I also love love love threesome and polyships. They're great. Send me all of those. I WILL beta mpreg. 
Other fandoms I am sorta in (if writing crossovers, this could be helpful): Star Trek (specifically TOS and AOS), The Sims, Bosch. 
I love to work with authors and help them talk through what they're trying to accomplish!

Beta experience: I was a translator and a copy editor for most of my professional life (many, many years), and English is my strongest suit. I am quite finicky about basic style rules, but will always respect the author's style. I'm madly in love with Spuffy and so grateful that the authors here keep them alive. I am also primarily an avid reader who needs to be captured by a story and the words used to bring it to life. I  shudder when I read grammar mistakes because they interrupt my reading enjoyment. I  could be described as a canon-nut, but enjoy moderate-to-wild fantasy as long as it has some canon in it, especially if the goal is HEA, but not necessarily. I like time travel, but as a reader I can find it confusing, which can be useful to point out (?). Those are the aspects I look out for, and would expect any work submitted for beta-ing to have aspired to fulfill them to the best of the author's abilities.
I've been copy-editing--I guess you would say beta reading?--the last few chapters of Perfect Clarity, which is something of a jewel. And I've been working with a few other authors, loving it.
I've also worked on a couple of the latest chapters of Encased in Sunshine, and had the honor of working on flow's contribution to the Spiral Spuffy event.

Story types/topics I will not beta: Not really interested in AH. Would not be comfortable with horror or excessive violence. Smut is fine, except when it seems to reflect the author's personal fantasies more than anything inherent to the original characters (e.g. gigantic dick, over-the-top SM) and I'm not fond of threesomes, not even to check for typos. So I would not be the beta to go to for those.
Not interested in writing that feels like a first draft that the author has not even re-read.

Additional Comments: I currently (May-July 2023) have some health issues and am undergoing tests, so it's best to first make sure I'm available to revise your work.
I'd also like to qualify my turnaround time. I checked 1-2 weeks but this a conservative estimate, because you never know what life will be throwing in your face that will need immediate, time-consuming attention. So far, I've been sending work back far within a week, and 1-3 days can be totally possible.
