Janice (jamasc) | 59887 comments How does this link to A Dedicated Man. If you're going for a black cover, the issue you posted doesn't have a black cover. It has black on it, but that's it.

message 24: by Janice, Moderator (new)

Janice (jamasc) | 59887 comments I can get confused easily, and it would help me if you could use the word "Task", on those ones that I wrote tasks for. For example,

1. Badge 1, Book 13
2. Sam and Frodo, Checkpoint, Black Gate
3. The Iron Heel
4. 10 hr 53 min
5. Task - IRON in title
6. The IRON Heel

Then I'm not questioning whether it's a task or a connection requirement.

Thanks
