    Beta for a Stargate/BtVS crossover fic

    Hello!

    I'm in the process of writing a Stargate/Buffy the Vampire Slayer story, and I'm looking for people to beta-read it. I'm still in the writing process, but I'd really like some people to look over what I already have, so that I can correct possible plot problems that are exposed in the beginning of the story.

    Here's some more about the story:

    Fandoms: Stargate SG-1 and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. 90% of the action happens within the Stargate SG-1 universe. I doubt that you'll need to know Buffy to understand the story, as a lot of the Buffyverse is explained in this story - it's designed to appeal more to SG-1 fans. Set in mid S4 for SG-1 and beginning S5 for Buffy.

    Premise: The quantum mirror spews up a few interdimensional travellers who appear to be an alternate SG-1, including Kawalsky and Prof. Walsh (from BtVS). Walsh apparently has an unpleasant history with Jack O'Neill, but unfortunately for them, she'll be staying at the SGC indefinitely. The story is about how all the main characters deal with these changes, and if AU refugees can find a new life in the SGC.

    Type of story: introspective, character exploration. Angst, grieving due to AU character deaths (I don't believe it's classified as darkfic, though). Not much action. Romance, sort of. A lot of the focus is on O'Neill and Walsh, exploring their characters and histories. Obviously, takes SG-1 and BtVS into AU-land as from the arrival of the interdimensional refugees.

    Pairings: I prefer saying what it's *not* going to be - not Sam/Jack, not Jack/Daniel. However, what we see of Sam/Jack from the show will be acknowledged and dealt with realistically (I hope).

    Rating: PG-13 for now, but a R or NC-17 het sex scene may crop up. There may be slashy references/jokes, nothing explicit, though.

    Other stuff a beta might find important: what I have written is already 30'000 words long and will probably be about the triple when finished. I'll be posting sections of approx 4000-6000 characters for beta, though, with several weeks interval. I write in UK spelling ("realise", "colour", etc).

    What kind of help I need: correcting style (esp. syntax and punctuation), making sure the plot is realistic (good knowledge of military regs would be an enormous plus), toning down excessive angst, zapping OOCness, and checking the story's pace.

    If you feel willing to give it a go, please email or PM me! I'd be grateful for any kind of beta-reading, the in-depth nitpicky sort or just a short critique of what seems off about the plot/characterisation.

    Thanks in advance for any response.
