Hey, I think you worked a lot on this story. I'm thinking of making modifications. But I haven't read the book (yet), so it might be that my information is simply incomplete. Thus, I'm gonna run the proposed changes by you and, if you do not object, will get to it. Firstly, I believe that [[Pantoland]] is not a planet but a kind of virtual reality and that it is based on the ''[[Winton]]'' rather than on the planet [[Perfecton (planet)|Perfecton]]. Secondly, I do not see the point in separate pages for [[King Rupert]], [[Prince Charming]] or [[Dame Candy]]. They are temporary personas for [[Balsam]], [[Prince (Oh No It Isn't)|Prince]] and [[Arthur Candy]] respectively. If there is no separate page for Auton Rory, there seems to be little point creating a page for them. Maybe the [[Fairy Godfather]] warrants a page, being a manifestation of a computer rather than a person. Please let me know if you object to any of this.

: I knew it is better to compare notes before editing. (I also only listened to it once and planning a second time.) So regarding the placement of Pantoland, here is my understanding: the whole Perfecton culture was put into a rocket that pierced the board computer of ''Winton'', merged with the file on panto Benny was planning to look at. The point of the rocket was to turn all the crew into Perfectons so that they can get away from the supernova on the spacecraft. So while the ontological status of Pantoland is a bit fuzzy, it seemed to me that it is happening on ''Winton'' / within ''Winton'''s computer. As for the people, on first listening I had a slightly different impression: namely, that crew members assumed these roles within the Pantoland and at first had no recollection of their real selves. It is definite that Wolsey at some point, under a hypnotic or some such influence, recalls himself being a mere cat. There is a whole plot point about him not wanting to revert to his cat-state and him confirming Benny's suspicions that he normally treats her as a servant woman. I have a vague recollection that the other members of the crew also have a glimpse of their true selves when Benny manages to press the button without the lamp. She also assigns various computer systems as being represented by various monsters in Pantoland. I wonder what the book says...
