Hey small beans and other non-beans.

That was a weird intro and also I've been sort of M.I.A. these last few days but it's not all for naught. I've just been a very busy peanut. Anyway. I don't know if anyone actually bothered to look at that bubble Wikia sent about changing the Terms of Use and how it basically means you agree if you keep using the website. I just thought I'd read the Terms of Use (the changes anyway) and I found some pretty big stuff that might affect everyone here.

Basically, there's a section which says that:

''" Articles and content that appear on fandom.wikia.com (“Original Content Site”) that are created by the Company or one its contributors is the exclusive property of the Company and its licensors (“Company Original Content”). Except as explicitly provided herein, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create a license to the Company Original Content, and you agree not to sell, license, rent, modify, distribute, copy, reproduce, transmit, publicly display, publicly perform, publish, adapt, edit or create derivative works from the Company Original Content. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Company provides you with a license to use the Company Original Content for your personal, noncommercial use only. Company may terminate this license at any time for any reason or no reason. Use of Company Original Content for any purpose not expressly permitted by this Agreement is strictly prohibited." ''

Basically, the reason I thought I would point this out to you all is because you're all very creative, and by publishing your work on Wikia, it is officially owned by Wikia. If you have plans to maybe write a novel or whatever, just be very cautious about what you upload.
