If you had to write a science fiction story about anything at all what would you write about?
LittlePumpkiin
The best Science Fiction stories have at their heart some scientific principle either illustrated or extrapolated upon. Such as
- Mission of Gravity
- Neutron Star
- The Gods themselves
- The Moon Moth
If I were to write a Science Fiction story I would first chose a principle and build a story around it.

In this case The Lottery could be science fiction if it were constrained to the realm of soft science fiction."What If" Easily science fiction as no great 'forgiveness' for scientific deviations are made in this story."Utopia / Dystopia" Yes easily science fiction."Gadgetry Science Fiction" no.Science Fiction is that body of work to which we point when referencing the genera.
