I am writing a fictional short story. Except I don't know if it should be a short story or a novel.

My idea for it is pretty much a dystopian world where the green movement was fully accepted. A world where people are taxed for living, where they are taxed and punished for exhaling carbon dioxide. It's pretty much a world where the concept of maximizing the longevity of the human race for as long as possible.

Any help?

Picture not related.

>>	Anonymous Wed Mar 17 00:13:15 2010 No.439283 it sounds pretty fucking stupid.

>>	Anonymous Wed Mar 17 00:14:15 2010 No.439286 Write the short story first. If you still think this is a good idea and think you can handle writing hundreds more pages about it, expand it into a novel. Going straight to a novel will not end well, I suspect.

>>	Anonymous Wed Mar 17 00:14:15 2010 No.439294 >>439286 I think this could be novella material really.

>>	Anonymous Wed Mar 17 00:16:15 2010 No.439306 I like this idea. I am going to steal it from you OP

>>	Anonymous Wed Mar 17 00:18:15 2010 No.439317 >>439294 Unless the OP has written several short stories and a novella before, he should find out if he was the writing discipline by making this a short story first.

>>	Anonymous Wed Mar 17 00:33:15 2010 No.439353 It depends. If your ideas are broad and will not be at least 10 or 15 pages, then might as well just go all out.
