Fictional story based on album?
I know some questions have been asked about basing a story on a song. I am basing a story on an album with pretty much each chapter based on a song. I don't necessarily want to publish it, but I was wondering what opinions there were on copyright issues.
I have taken what I feel to be the emotion and concept of each song and expanded on it, adding my own details to flesh out a story between characters. The title of each chapter is unique. I do have some paraphrasing from the lyrics. If the words were changed enough to get the idea across without quoting whole lines, at what point does a story go from being a story with music in it to just a story loosely based on music.
Thanks for your opinions.

I am looking for the version of Carol of the Bells that is the bell version. I usually hear it come out around the holidays but haven't been able to find out who does it. I've checked youtube and itunes and google. This is the instrumental version that has the strong bells throughout, not the metal or piano versions.
I already heard the Transsiberian and it isn't quite as I recall it.

2 AnswersLaw & Ethics1 decade agoWhen I meditate strange things happen?
One day my car wouldn't start. The battery was completely drained. I thought it was just coincidence, so I kept meditating. The next day the A/C broke. Then the fridge. I got a new battery and the next day after meditating it was bad and I had to get another one. I cannot afford to fix more items so I quit meditating and nothing has happened since then. I had tried more recently but ... electrical items started breaking again. I am not rich.... I had moved to 3 different countries and in the 3 locations the same happened! In one of the countries in the past it was a dishwasher that broke... 5 times.... Any idea what's going on?
5 AnswersAlternative Medicine1 decade agoA more technical question:?
I have a dead 3.7V 230mah battery that I want to replace with a solar panel. I can only find a 3.6V solar panel that will have either 200mah or 300mah depending on how many I hook together. Will my device be damaged if I use this lower voltage and lower or higher current? My background is not in electrical engineering and I only had one class quite a ways back. Thanks.
PS: This dead battery is directly soldered onto my board so that's why I'm just trying to completely replace it instead of buying a new battery. I know how to solder I just don't have experience with this subject and don't want to fry my device. The device is one of those digital picture frames.
1 AnswerOther - Electronics1 decade agoWhy do people ask on a public forum how to get games illegally?
Not to sound rude, but how unintelligent can you be to be asking on a site that can be traced to you? Downloading games for free is illegal and if you insist on doing it I suggest you don't ask in a public place how to do so. I know this doesn't help those who can't figure it out for themselves but what are we gonna do?
7 AnswersVideo & Online Games1 decade agoBlue bees? What is the name for these?
Has anyone ever heard of a bee or an insect that looks like a bee, that is blue with black stripes instead of yellow with black stripes? They used to live on my old elementary school playground where they dug holes in the sandbox kind of like ants tunneling. I've seen one bite a kid, but I've never seen one sting. I've always wondered what those are called. Thanks for any help. I've tried searching online for this. The larvae were found in little cocoons at the bottom of their dens when kids dug them up. As far as I know they didn't eat honey.
