I understand the reason for the rating, but the official rating is
PG13, then the author notes that it's purely G, but the summary says
it's really PG. In my opinion we should cut out the "PG for some
scenes." reference.

Hmm, should the Reason for Rating be reworked? I.e., "high angst,
violence, erotic scenes

There are several Appendices in Tolkien. Maybe "(LOTR Appendices)"?

Maybe change summary to "about Pippin's and Merry's homecoming"?

The first "his" in the summary is slightly ambiguous. Maybe "Near the
end of Paladin's life, he and Pippin"?

I assume the Faramir here is Faramir Took, not the prince of Ithilien.
Maybe "Pippin and his young son Faramir", just to be clear?

Not our responsibility. Do you really want to fix all the typos and reword
every reason for rating for nearly 1200 stories? I know I don't.

My thought is that that is pretty much understood. Still, it's not our
