Busy doctor schedule

After putting it off for ages (because of financial reasons, time constraints, phobia, and depression-induced indifference) I finally ventured to the dentist this morning. And came back with several appointments. Ack. I need fillings and all kinds of other treatments. I also have 2 appointments with my GB, one with my gynecologiest and one with my opthalmologist. I will try to make appointments with my physiotherapist, so she can massage a few kinks out of my back and legs.

Tidying up seems to be good for us. Right now I have a lot more energy than a few years ago. I hope it lasts. I already started doing some of my Xmas shopping, and I have a few plans what to buy in December, when more money comes in. I also decided to ask the local Walmart for a job. They pay better than my translation work. *sob*

Hubby found a few really dreadful poems which I'd believed lost, which I wrote at the tender age of 18. *shudder* Well, at least one of them is kinda okay.

As for my fanfic writing, I decided that I need to look around for a new beta who is slash-friendly and fast - I can't work without one. Left to my own devices I tinker every story to death. ladycat777 and sangpassionne have other worries and not enough time and since I have bouts of insecurity that make me a high maintanance author, I should try to find someone else who doesn't mind if I suddenly IM her/him with questions. I am not looking for the kind of beta who just finds the spelling mistakes (I finally found the word installation disk so maybe I can dl an English dictionary for my spelling checker now) but a beta who will honestly tell me if something is boring, too flowery or too vague, one who cuts out all the somehows and almosts. One who whittles away what's redundant. :-) Any volunteers?
The projects I need handholding for are Dealing (Ethan/Lindsey), Let's Talk About Sex and a few minor projeccts.

Post 1.500 - FIC: Host (Giles/Ethan) (3/4)

Whoohooo! This is post number 1.500. *throws confetti*
This LJ was created over two years ago, on October 28th (meaning I missed my LJ's second b-day). I was sired by firehorse who I knew from the nummytreats S/X fic list. Waitaminute, do 1.500 posts in 740 or so days peg me as a spammer?

Anyway, what better way to celebrate my LJ life than to post a new fic installment. Here's part 3 of my Giles/Ethan fic, that was formerly titled 'Untitled', then 'Home' and now 'Host' (I will actually go and change the title in my previous posts, to avoid confusion). And yes, I remember saying this would be short. Apparently 'short' is no longer on the menue. Ve do not know se meaning of se vord 'short'.

TITLE: Host
PAIRING: Giles/Ethan
SPOILERS: post-NFA
RATING: hard R
SUMMARY: Some things that go bump in the night are far from scary (and I suck at summaries)
AN: written for xanphibian and kate74
Oh and before I forget: many many many thanks to ladycat777, hesadevil, and patintexas who beta'd this for me.

Earlier parts: Part 1 - Part 2
If you'd like to read the beta'd version of the two earlier posts, they are archived together at my site: Host - Part one.
