Yes, this. The problem is that when you publish with Alloy, they own all your ideas, characters, etc. It's like someone asking if they can videotape your non-profit community choir and sell the tapes-- except they don't just take a cut of the profits from selling the tape, it's also in the contract that *now they own all your original songs* and can do whatever they want with them. And whatever future use they put them to, you *don't* get a cut, ever.
