The reason I'd like to do it is that I often find writers getting into fanfiction through my site
That speaks very well of your site, btw.
Y'know, maybe you could make a LJ community for beta-ing... AAS_beta or something... people could post about their fic (rating, pairing, genre) and what they wanted help with (proof-reading, chartacterization, etc.). Then members could volunteer to beta. Or maybe it shouldn't be just an AAS thing, since you choose only what you want to post... is there a BtVS_beta community on LJ?
Also, even without community, LJ or otherwise, many people could probably find a beta among their RL or online friends... as long as they know somebody who's watched BtVS and has a good handle on language.
It's funny, I just realized none of the ficlets I've posted have been beta'd, and the only one I did have beta'd, I've yet to post. But I do beta for rabid1st, so it's not like I don't believe in beta-ing. Maybe it's that my pieces are all so short, or maybe it's that I'm unduly self-conscious and paralyzed by contradictory comments. Hrm.
