Strengths: General grammar,
knowledge of arcane, repetition,
British slang, history, demonlore,
ATS/Buffy History
Prefrences: Dark, Angst, POV, Fluff
Will not read: Slash, plotless fics
Highest rating: NC-17
Harshness level: 9/10
Notes: I won't tell you what you want to hear.
If something is good, I'll praise you. If it is bad,
then I'll let you know. Everything I say is only a
suggestion, so I don't expect everything to be
changed. Also, I'm very, very nit picky. So expect
anything I read to be gone over with a fine comb.

Speed of Response: 1 to 3 days
Strengths: Grammar, an extremely open mind, strong
knowledge of Angel/Buffy, legal terms, history,
slang, dialects, attention to detail and unwavering
patience.
Preferences: Fluff, Smut, Angst, PWP and Slash
Will not read: Extremely violent Slash
Highest rating: NC-17
Harshness level: 7/10
Notes: I am enthusiastic about fic in all of its forms
and aim to be supportive and encouraging. If it's good
I'll gush, if it's ordinary or bad I'll offer suggestions
rather than criticism. I don't care how ridiculous the plot
is - what matters to me is the way the ideas are
expressed, your style and the quality of the writing.
However, I am extremely nitpicky about spelling. Believe me,
I will pick up every single spelling mistake in your 20,000
word opus.

Speed of Response: 1 to 4 days
Strengths: Strong knowledge of BtVS/Angel, general grammar,
characterizations (at least in my head anyway), good with
dialogue.
Preferences: Pretty much anything. I like variety.
Will not read: B/S, Giles/Willow (but I know that's unlikely).
Everything else (slash, whatever) is fair game.
Highest rating: NC-17
Harshness level: 5/10
Notes: I'm good at nitpicky things (cause I editing is what I
do) and I love pretty much any and all 'fic, and do this out
of love, so I'm not overly harsh, I just want the story to be
as good as it can be, whatever form that may take. :)

Strengths: obscure facts, characterizations.. and overall
continuity.
Preferences: I'll read everything, so send away.
Will not read: nothing.
Highest rating: NC-17 (I'll read it all--so rating doesn't matter)
Harshness level: 5/10, though if you want the 'red ink of
doom' treatment it can be done.

anything. Alternative emails; meribeth@aesiraven.com or

Email: Mchallen@shaw.ca
Speed of Response: under normal circumstances, one to two days.
Strengths: grammar, punctuation, syntax, characterization, spelling
Preferences: not picky, but with a weakness for Wes/Faith, Anya/Giles.
Will read pretty much anybody paired with my woobie Wesley.
Will not read: Spike/Dawn romance (or any adult/young teen relationship
where the young teen is still their canonical age). Buffy/Giles romance
(personal squick). No problem with slash.
Highest rating: NC-17
Harshness level: pretty harsh
Notes: I tend to be very blunt and exacting. I will probably tear your
stuff apart. Bear in mind that I do this to every writer for whom I beta,
including the well-known ones. It's not personal! When it comes to
grammar/spelling/punctuation stuff, I'm a bitch. If you don't follow my
advice, I'll get cranky. When it comes to criticism of
plot/description/characterization, I'm less Nazi-like. I'll still have an
opinion, but because this stuff is much more subjective than spelling,
I won't flip out if you carefully consider my advice and then reject it.
Promise.

Strengths: Strong knowledge of Buffyverse, characterization, general grammar,
knowledge of folklore and mythology.

Will not read: nothing.
Highest rating: NC-17
Harshness level: 7/10
Notes: I will line edit your fic and make suggestions for changes if there is
a need for it. If improvement in plot, writing, or characterization is possible,
I'll let you know and make suggestions concerning them. I tend to be nit picky and
point out everything that I believe could be improved. But if you want me to be
less harsh with the editing, let me know.
