About the ficlet, I'll take care of it this week, but last month I decided I needed to check the books for some timeline issue, and then finals came. I'm staying at my parents' place right now and the books are at my apartment across town.

But I like your idea of asking a fan of a specific character or situation for responses before posting publicly. Actually my most enjoyable beta experience ever was with my very first fic, which I'd e-mailed to lilybaggins. Her tastes were just so specific and she was so honest about what she wanted that it practically wrote itself.

Movie!Denethor is so freaky omg! Whenever I watch the part where he makes Pippin kiss his ring it totally gives me the creeps (but I kind of like it).
