If I have an idea for a novel (consisting, let's say, of a premise and a vague idea of characters), how can I tell if the idea will turn into a series or a stand-alone? I don't want to start development on what I assume will be a stand-alone novel, only to find out half way through that it would actually be better as a series. **Question:** Are there indicators I can look for in a story idea _alone_ to tell me if it should be a series or a novel?
