If you've finished up a story and need someone else to read over it and check for certain things, e-mail one of these great beta-readers! Generally, it's polite to e-mail the person before sending the story to them, so let them know that you've written up a story and they'll get right back to you.

Name: Annie E-mail: anniwithattitude11@hotmail.com URL (If app.): N/A Rating Preference: Any preferably more than PG Genre Preferences: Spuffy, obviously. I'm not really one for incredibly fluffy fics though. Likes: Long fics! I don't really mind whether it is AU or you know in the world of Buffy Dislikes: I don't like fluff or baby fics. Ones where Buffy and Spike get married aren't a favorite of mine but I'll still do them. But ones where Buffy and/or Spike have a child are a big no-no from me. Specializes in: Well I'm an author on one site and normally I get nothing but good reviews. I beta someone's work on another site so I know what I'm doing. I'll change spelling and grammar. Also is you use a word a lot like 'nice' or 'said then I'd probably change it to make it more interesting. I like helping people out so is you're stuck for ideas I don't mind giving you some! About how long it'd take to return the story: Well it really depends where you live and at what time you send it. Normally between a few minutes and the next day. It might be 2 days if you said me like 10,000 words or if I'm not in but normally I'm in and I've always got my computer on! |
