Thanks for reading.

At least one reader - the one who asked me - noticed that, when the character analog table on the AKOTAS-2 FAQ page first went up, there were only question marks for Morgan for role(s) in the Doctor Who revival. That was because there were two roles I was trying to decide between for Morgan, either of which she'd be superb for and neither of which are there any other good candidates for. As of yesterday's update, that element of the table's been revised. I decided Morgan needs to be the Master, instead of Sarah Jane Smith, on the grounds of the probability that I'll want her all villainy for the next Star Trek film. But that leaves no good candidate for Sarah Jane. The only KAITAS traveling companion who doesn't already have a role in post-Magic War AKOTAS-2 is Boadiccea (the character I previously had left off the character analog table, as decribed in a previous newspost, now added in), who was specifically brought into KAITAS to be analog to a Doctor Who companion distinctly unlike any other who wasn't Sarah Jane. But if I can't think of a better candidate before I want to do a gag derived from Sarah Jane Adventures she may have to do. Too bad - I'd at least figured out who was going to be Morgan's Luke. It's also possible that, when the next Star Trek film comes out, there'll be a non-villain character who I'll regard as the perfect role for Morgan, necessitating that she be retroactively reanalogized as Sarah Jane after all. By then, though, this working sabbatical should actually be over; and all but one of you will have forgotten all about this question by the time of the working sabbatical at the twelve-year mark. Assuming I don't do something else entirely then. I've also finally updated the table with an analog for Donna. Plus, anyone who had even an inkling of a response to the descriptions I gave June 8 of the troubles I was having with PNG files, please speak up. I had the same trouble with the character analog table when editing it just now, except the previous fix isn't working. It had been a PNG, I worked on it in MSPaintXP which I'd gone back to since the 8th, I uploaded and it gave me the same error message as the PNGs I worked on June 8. I even tried resaving it in MSPaintVista and that didn't help. Saving it as a GIF didn't help - the GIF version lost information during FTP or something. It's presently a JPG, for Pete's sake. Later Okay, restarting MSPaint and then resaving the files seems to have cleared it up. Never mind. ...this time.
