The following are goddesses who will beta read (i.e. edit, give constructive criticism, and check your spelling, although you should spell check before you send it to someone). Note: This page is under construction while I seek out new betas.
These betas have agreed to read Anya/Spike, if you need betas for other pairings check the btvswg.
Want to be a Beta? Email the following at me to Moving On.
Name:
Beta Resources:
Name: Allison
Grace
Preferences: Prefers Dark Fic, NC-17, character death, Bloodplay, incest,
anything sick and wrong. There is nothing she won't read. Trust Me.
Strengths: Will help with canon, slang, grammar, spelling and plot.
Name: Anne
Favorite Pairings: I enjoy most Spike pairings, but I've got a soft spot
for Spike/Buffy; Angel(us)/Darla,
Willing to Read Slash: Willing to read Angel/Spike in any form. Or any
combination of Angel/Darla/Spike/Drusilla. For other Slash pairings, please
ask first before sending.
Turn around time: usually about 24 hours, will notify if it'll be longer
Won't Read: Spike/Xander, Angel/Buffy
Strengths: Strongest at canon checking and character voices, but also
spelling and grammar.
Name: Annie
Favorite characters: Spike, Willow, Anya
Favorite pairings: Spike/Anyone, Spike & Anya, Dawn friendship
Will you read slash: Yes please
Anything you won't read: Rapefic, incest, really out-there AU (no vampires,
no slayer), Buffy-bashing
Expected Turn around: Three to four days
Strengths: I'm a grammar queen/nerd, good speller, good with catching
holes in the story, characterization, and cannon details.
Name: Belle
Strengths: Good with grammar, characterization, spelling, punctuation,
will read anything
Other notes: send in Word2000 if possible
Name: Brenda
Preferences: Welcome to any storyline or any ship.
Dislikes: none.
Strengths: Avid Anya fan. Will help hash out problems and give advice
on grammar points. Basically an English major sick of reading about the Theoretical
Prospects of Poverty in Western Europe in the Late Eighteenth Century. If you
are having trouble writing Anya this I am the one to ask. Fairly obsessed enough
to play her in an RPG.
Other notes: Please give notice in the submit of fanfic of what help
you are looking for.
Name: catatonic1242:
Favorite characters: Spike, Anya, Tara, Giles
Favorite pairings: Spuffy, Spander, Spangel, anything involving Spike
Will you read slash: Happily
Anything you won't read: I'll read it all, although I don't particularly
enjoy whiny! Dawn or Riley Sucks fic.
Expected Turn around: About a week
Strengths: I'm good with the history of the show (determining what is
and isn't canon) and with making stylistic suggestions
Name: Larilyn
Preferences: I have a love of history, so I would be helpful
if any one wants to delve into Spike and Anya's past.
Dislikes: I don't enjoy reading m/m slash, but I don't think that will
be a big problem on a Spike/Anya site.
Strengths: I also have some knowledge about witchcraft.
Turn Around Time: I read and review pretty quickly and I do give constructive
criticism.
Name: Libby
Preferences: Well written stories with valid characterizations. More
Anya. I like Spike. Good smut is always entertaining. Minor characters can be
interesting (Jonathan, Harmony). Humor is good. Consensual slash is fine by
me. Humorous mysteries with some smutty romance are my ideal.
Dislikes: Rape, canon character death, character bashing or poor characterization
(Anya, Giles, and Xander are more than just horny, stuffy, and goofy), songfic,
sap (yes, I know Spike is romantic, but don't get silly -- he's a bad rude man).
Slash is fine, but unless it's Spike/Angel or Willow/Tara, there should be a
leadup. With Anya involved I could see some threesomes going on :)
Strengths: I am a perpetual student and freelance journalist, so my
editing skills are pretty good. I also love to read!
Name: Tania
Preferences: In Canon stories, love season 4 and season 7 Spike/Anya.
Dislikes: Human Au.
Strengths: Canon checking, historical accuracy, characterization, spelling,
grammar.
Turn Around Time: one two two weeks depending on length, email first
for very long stories.
Name: Winter
Preferences: Any Rating. Would enjoy a S/X/Ay threeway.
Strengths: grammer, punctuation, story flow, characterization.
Other notes: I can be pretty picky but it's only because I'm trying to
help you write a better fic!
