40.
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.
