-- Beta Reader's Home --


Every writer, no matter how experienced, needs a beta reader. You yourself could read over your own work a half dozen times and not catch grammar, spelling, continuity, or accuracy errors that a beta reader's fresh perspective could spot on a first reading. You know what it is supposed to say, they read what's really there.

Because of this, and for your convenience, And Everything Else has compiled a list of willing, Buffy/Spike friendly beta readers. Remember, though, that the people here are only suggestive. This site does not guarantee that all of these beta readers will beta every story sent to them, nor does it guarantee the quality of all beta reads. The same goes with the speed of the editing.

If you wish to be placed on this list as a possible beta reader for others, fill out the form at the bottom of the page, and i'll get you added.

angst/dark fics. character death. epic stories that dig deep into cannon, making plausible explanations for events we've seen. unexpected plot twists. original characters with pasts personalities and quirks; let them develop into better people throughout the story. song fics, if they make sense and relate to the plot, etc. character bashing just to develop a plot-FYI there's a difference between an author's p.o.v. and a character's p.o.v.; an author's p.o.v. is visbile when every character jumps on one. BtVS/Angel crossovers. Love: B/S, A/F, A/C, A/OC, Gu/OC, F/Wes, X/Ahn, Will/T, Dawn/Con, Gi/OC, Tolerate: Gi/Jenny, Gi/Joyce, B/A, S/Anyone else...

Dislikes:

I hate fluff. I'll read a fic with Riley in it. As long as he's 1-Not a total jerk and 2-Not some guy that annoys Buffy to no end just so that she can run into Spike's awaiting arms. Mary Sues. See the difference? In likes, I have Original Characters. In dislikes, Mary Sues. fem slash. Xander as an intense and outright jerk that won't budge, even for what Buffy wants. Fics where Angel shows up to "visit" just so that Buffy can announce that she's with Spike and tell him to butt out and go to hell; where he's a total jerk; where he and Spike fight and destroy wherever they happen to be at the time of the fight. anything that isn't a BtVS/Angel crossover. Pairings I hate with everything I love: B/R, G/B.

Pretty much anything, but PG-13 and up is better. Violence, strong language, adult content .. ;)

Likes:

Angst, so long as there's a happy ending. Intricate plots. Improbable disastrous situations (i.e. Buffy and Spike trapped in a basement during a hurricane). Buffy dumping Riley. Any story that tries to make sense of the whole soul/lack-of-soul thing. And smut. Smut is always a good thing. Give me Buffy and Spike trapped in a basement pondering the nature of the soul before Buffy realizes how wrong Riley is for her and then has sex with Spike, and I'll be very, very happy. ;)

Dislikes:

Character death - except Riley; you can kill him. Unhappy endings in general. Excessive sappiness, unless it's something cute like a holiday story. Song lyrics being used as dialogue; I don't mind a character thinking of the lyrics, or being inspired by a song, or actually quoting a song ("How's that song go? 'The world is a vampire?'" said Spike, with a smirk.) but please no turning songs into conversations.

I'll read most pairings, but my favorite is Buffy/Spike. Fine with B/A, B/L, C/D, X/Female, A/C, A/W, B/G, non/multi. I'm fine with G to NC-17 and song fic. I'm very picky about correct word usage. I can offer excellent advice on pagan/wiccan/magickal themes as well.

Dislikes:

I do NOT like slash, as in m/m or f/f fiction. Please do not send me this. However if it is mild and an important context of the story (ie: an issue of dominance) rather than the pivot of the story then it's okay. I do not care for the more unusual pairings such as W/S, B/D, but will read them. Basically, send it. If I do not like the plot line, I'll let you know, tell you what I found so far, and suggest you ask someone else to finish it.

B/S. Fluff, angst, lots of character interaction, intricate plot details, plots (or no plots, for that matter ^_^), action (simply: how BtVS is really written. Action, horror, comedy, drama, all the good stuff), stand-alones, novels, thinking (in the characters mind), emotional, tear-jerky type stories... I can handle mostly anything. Also, I like the characters to be as similar to their characters on BtVS as possible, if you please.

Dislikes:

Slash. Cannot stress this enough. I absolutely abhor slash. M/M, F/F (unless its W/T, that, I can handle). Character death, excessive sap, stories that make B/S out to be a perfect couple (white picket fence, 2.5 kids, eskimo kisses and all the boring-ness), crossovers. if it's NC-17, I'd really appreciate it if it was, y'know, tasteful.

Pretty much anything with preferences toward the more adult end of the scale.

Likes:

Character developement (don't we all), angst is okay as long as it's not too whiny, Buffy getting past what her friends will think. Doesn't have to be action packed, although I do enjoy a good fight scene - especially where Spike and Buffy are fighting really well together. Also, funnily enough, songfics - but only where the lyrics have a real connection to what the characters are thinking and feeling. Naked Spike is fun too.

Dislikes:

The kicking of the Spike! He doesn't deserve it (in the little universe of my brain anyway). Excessive shmoopiness for no real reason. Dawn being a brat for no real reason. There must be *reasons* people!!! So I guess I don't like stuff for no reason......

Dislikes:

Amazingly, NOT Riley :) Told ya I loved originality! Seriously, I don't like PWP fics. I can read them, but I feel like something's missing - and it's the plot, the most important thing for me. I also dislike stories that make Spike and Buffy look like the perfect couple; however, if the story is written well, I'm okay with the overly happy ending.

Specializations:

I'm not sure what you mean by that; if it's what I'm good at, I think spelling/grammar is the answer. I don't think I'll ever suggest crucial changes to a story, but I can help with character development too.

Ummm...the one where B and S get a frickin' Victorian and move in together and live happily ever after??? Who wrote that schlock?

Lots of experience workshopping fiction of all sorts, really into giving constructive feedback and specific suggestions. Good eye for continuity (but not so much with AtS). Ten whole, actual human years of editing for a living (50+ now-published manuscripts). Pretty useful in the whole grammar, style, usage arena. (Why does everyone use "hoard" when they mean "horde"? Why is "it's" invariably used where "its" is correct?) I can't promise to read and critique everything I receive, but I'll give it a shot and I do promise to at least acknowledge (i.e., "I'll get to it by..." or "Sorry, can't get to it right now," etc.).

Rating They'll Read:

I like all things B/S, except for fluff. I'll read it, but I'm not its biggest fan. No PWPs please.

Likes:

I like dramas, angsty, dark pieces...humor is good, too.

Dislikes:

Fluff and lots of smut. I don't mind a little smut, but sometimes there's just too much. I also don't like slash unless it's well done...in other words, not PWP-esque.
