I am currently writing a relatively short fic about Boromir and Faramir, and I am in need of a beta reader. I'd appreciate someone who can point out mistakes in grammar in spelling, but what I need more is someone who knows and loves the characters well enough to be able to point out any discrepancies between the descriptions I'm using and Tolkien's.

The very end of the fic will be movieverse (The flashbacks in the Extended Edition of The Two Towers that take place in Osgiliath), but for the greater part of the story I'm drawing mostly upon either the book or my own imagination.

I just noticed that I haven't really said what the whole story is about. Well, it's basically a bunch of (for lack of a better term) snapshots about the two brothers. The very first (which is all I have written now) is from Boromir's POV (I think the entire fic will be), about the day Faramir is born. For those of you who feel the need to defend Lord Denethor, I've written it such that it shows his love for both Boromir and his newborn son. (I don't exactly like the way he's portrayed in the movies either.) Anyways, I'm thinking to include a few other scenes such as one where Faramir's seen as the irritating little brother, the day Finduilas dies, a little "coming of age" sort of thing for Boromir (hanging the horn of Gondor upon him, most likely), and finally the scene from the movie with my own creative bits thrown in.

I'd also like someone to tell me whether this should be broken into chapters or just posted as a whole.

If you're interested post it here (or send me a PM if you want...) . I shall be eagerly waiting for a response.

Sounds like it's right up my alley. I'll pm you to work out details, and see if you're interested.

Ooh! I see Nancy beat me to it, but if you think you can use more than one beta, send it my way too, please!

Excellent to hear from two people ! I'd be only too happy to have you both as the beta readers for this story. I've already contacted Nancy, but Rose, I will PM you ASAP for more info.
