Name: Cleo Calliope
E-mail: Angelos_Girl@hotmail.com
Beta-ing Strengths: Tone, imagery, continuity, whether the thing makes sense, plot (I'm more than happy to help brainstorm if it's needed).

Will you beta the fic if there is any slash included? Yes

Speed of Response: Depends on length and when it's sent. I am a college student and fic sent during finals week is going to take a while. I usually try to start getting back to the author within 1-3 days. Longer fics will take longer, but will be read and sent back in parts.
Level of Harshness: I try to be fair but if something doesn't make sense I will say so. On the other hand I try to pick out the things I especially like as well and try to be nice.

Name: Michele Hooper
E-mail: aka_m_1@yahoo.com or aka_m69@hotmail.com
Beta-ing Strengths: Grammar, spelling, description, characterization, plot and plot details.
Special Knowledge: No one specialized subject but I know a medium amount about of a lot of things including history (strongest in American, Celtic, and European), weapons (especially knives and swords but a little about guns), psychology (including abnormal psychology), forensics, Eastern philosophy, mythology, folklore, music (classical and modern from the 40's to the early 90's and a little of the stuff playing on the radio right now) and other stuff I don't remember I know until someone asks.
Other 'ships you are a fan of: I like all the characters on both shows except Joyce and Jenny. Any combo of any characters is fine with me. My most favorite include anyone/Angel, anyone/Spike, anyone/Giles.
'Ships you will *not* read: There aren't any I won't read.
Will you beta the fic if there is any slash included? Yes
Genre Preferences: Any, but angst is my least favorite although I read it and write it myself.
Highest Rating: NC-17
Speed of Response: 3-10 days, depending on work schedule.
Level of Harshness: Medium. I'll be honest but I will not be mean about it. Tell me how much level of involvement you want me to have (i.e., whether you just want spelling and grammar, or that plus plot help, suggestions on changing things, etc.)
Number of Fics Beta-ed: None (Previous experience with editing: In my work I edit documents all day for clarity, continuity and correctness. I also did some editing while in high school.)
Do you write your own fics? Yes
Anything else you would like to include: I have traveled a lot, read extensively and love anything to do with Buffy the Vampire Slayer and/or Angel. I'm really a very nice, fun person and not at all the serious, stuck-up type I may seem from the answers to the above questions. I'm 33 and don't have much contact with teenagers, so I don't know how they talk or dress except as shown on BtVS and Angel. I'm also pretty good at hunting down stuff on the Internet, so anything I don't know enough about, I can always go find.
