Heeeeey Julie! :D First of all I just wanted to say a big thank you for reading and answering all of our questions! So, my name is Jake and I love Total Drama and animating.

Now, I came up with the Idea to make a series of 20 episodes (each episode is about 10-12 minutes long) called "Total Drama Gone Wild"; using Flash I will create my own characters and background (in the art style of Total Drama) and animate them. I've already made a few things for the show, for example: 3 designed characters, background, 14 other character concepts and a lot of plot ideas. Oh, and I'll publish it on Youtube. Let's get to my question:

'''May I use some elements from the Total Drama series for my show? There are copyright issues that I don't want to get into if I use some of the elements of the show, so I wanted to know if you agree to my use of those elements.''' What are those elements? the name "Total Drama" (of course not one of the seasons' names but my own name - Total Drama Gone Wild), the theme song, and short sections of the background music in Total Drama (for example - the elimination "tension" music); except those elements, I'll be creating everything else BY MY OWN - the characters. background, plots, logos, symbols, personalities, names, host of the show, the animation and more... I heard it's illegal to use elements like those for the purpose of mocking or laughing on the original, so just for information - there wouldn't be anything that will show the original Total Drama series in a bad light. I'll credit everything - Fresh TV, Cartoon Network, "I Wanna Be Famous" and you - Julie Giles - and of course I won't state those elements are made by me and are my own, I'll definitely state it's all yours (the Total Drama series makers)

Another thing that is important to mention is that I won't make ANY PROFITS FROM THIS SERIES, I'm able to monetize my videos and get money, but I choose not to do it and get no profits out of this - because it's just my little hobby. I would be awesome if you'll agree that I can use those elements I mentioned, but a 'no' is definitely acceptable. BTY, if you'll agree and if not, I'll send you a link to the first episode when it'll will be uploaded! (:

Thanks you so so so so so much for reading! Have an amazing and sparkling day! (or evening, or morning, whatever time you're reading this

Jake.
