Hi,

New here, err, to this list anyway.

And I must admit that I am SHOCKED at the level of writing I've been
reading on this list! Wow! You guys are great!

I was wondering if any of you kind souls would like to BETA a simple
Buffy lusts after Willow story?

I'm no where near as good as you guys but I do want to improve and
the only way to do that is to post my insane ramblings. And to post I
want to make sure I don't embarrass myself with my awful spelling and
grammar.

I don't post on this list very often mostly because my fic has gone in
directions other than the Buffy Willow pairing. It's not that dislike the
pairing. I even have a couple snippets and fluffs that might get expanded
into full stories and get posted someday if I ever get around to finishing
them. Personal thing I don't post my pre-beta fluff and snippets. Many of
the writers here are very good but even a good writer should have someone
else go over what they write. You tend to miss mistakes you make and think
they are fine. I know of two people who beta each others material. It works
well for them and does catch those pesky little errors. Then you have the
issue of when to be non grammatical for sake of making a better story but
knowing the rules before you break them isn't necessary but it sure does
help...
