40.

Name: A. R. Evett

Rating Preference: PG to R

Genre Preferences: I like fics that mix genres, just like the show; Comedy, romance, drama, angst.  Should take place in the Wheedonverse though. So no Highlander crossovers please, and no 'everyone's human' stories.

Likes: Spuffy (of course) or really any het Spike pairing. Dru kinda bugs me though. I would love to see S/Darla (hey, it could happen!) or S/G friendship S/A friendship. Spike, no pairing is also cool. I enjoy a fic that is willing to take risks. Something new, different. I'm a dialogue junkie too, so lots of talking!

Dislikes: Most Slash. Fic in which Buffy (or Spike!) is pregnant, or Spike is human. PWP. Very long fics, ie: neverending. I like closure!

Specializes in: I have a B.A. in English lit, so my grammar is quite good. I minored in History too, so that's . . .something. I am a huge Punk fan, and know a lot about the new York Punk scene 1976-1982. So I could really help you out if you're writing a punkSpike fic!  Also, believable dialogue is really my strong suit.

About how long it'd take to return the story: 1 to 3 days during the week. 4 max, over the weekend.
