Ten is no longer in question. Now it's how much can I fit in before the 5th.

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

I'm both excited for you and totally jealous.

Danke. It will be interesting come November when I have a bunch of series opening to try and stay below ten.

[Scott , Karsa Orlong]

The Fiends of Nightmaria completed which completes Bauchelain and Korbal Broach 6/6 and also brings up to date Malazan all 26/26.

12 open series.

[Scott , Karsa Orlong]

An Echo Of Things To Come Licanius Trilogy brought back up to date. No change in open series. I give myself a month upon a new release to switch up to date back to open series to keep the administrative work to a minimum.

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

That's smart, I keep doing it the long way lol.

Best to keep up on them.

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

But we both know how much I love unnecessary administrative work.

No need to quantify the type of administrative work.

Broken Earth 3/3 The Stone Sky is the 23rd completed series for the challenge. Only 11 open series remain.

This series is simply brilliant.

Well done Scott! I cannot wait to start with the last book of the Broken Earth. I am curious to see what ending the series will have - although I still believe the first book was revolutionary while the second was "only" good.

I felt like two was just an extension of one but I could enjoy it more because the second person present tense was finally familiar and not distracting. To each their own. For me a top 5 series.

Great job!

Gracias.

The Battlemage Summoner 3.5/3.5 is completed. There is a 4th book coming out however it's a bulked up version of the prequel which I've already read. The prequel was roughly 80k word count and the redone version is 120K per the author. So to me this is done.

10 open series left.

IMPRESSIVE! How do you do it, master? :D

Thank you. It's been such a long haul trying to catch up while trying to satisfy the beast which is the urge to start something new. Persistence and that need to complete challenges. I just want to stay below 10 now and never let it get back over 30.

[Bill]

Really well done Scott. Great that you were able to stick to your goal.

Thanks mate.

Your Incomplete Series Challenge is so shameless that it makes others uncomfortable in the change room at the pool

*BHWOOOOOOOOOO*
(That's the sound of your challenge blowdrying it's privates in the change room)

[Margret, Caladan Brood Face]

I guess I'm not living if I'm not risking being flagged in my own group, right?

[Andrew]

Margret, you win the internet. Oh yeah, and congrats Scott :)

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

At least Margret is headed in the direction the title was sending me: the antics of the Showtime show... I just realized that show has been around long enough for all the kids to grow up... I stopped around season 3-4...

[Jenna, I'd be free if not for Temper & Edgewalker]

Wow! Congrats Scott! Once again, you kill the challenge. :)

In an adoring way I laughed and uttered outloud what the fuck is wrong with you after reading that second part. Cracked me up.

When I changed the title I knew people would think:

1. Below 10 no more shame.
2. Literally Scott is Shameless
3. The TV show where nothing is below them.

On the TV show I've seen every season however mostly because my wife still loves it. It's still funny in patches but it's run it's course. Very few TV shows go out on top and with me still wanting more. The Shield was one. Sons of Anarchy the next to last season was so awful I almost didn't watch the last season which ended up being pretty good. Justified quit just in time. On and on.

Thanks Jen.

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

Justified went some weird places... I think I started the last season but never finished it... I think the one with the nice Momma Bear kingpin was the best... the one that's been on The Americans since then...

I basically stopped watching everything, so it's not really a condemnation of the show that I didn't finish... not like when I never finished the final season of Castle or How I Met Your Mother...

Yes Margo Martindale is the actress. She's awesome. And yes I actually knew the name off the top of my head.

If you thought those words, it means we are truly friends :D

My description was very much inspired by the hilarious comic series "minor differences"

http://theoatmeal.com/comics/minor_di...

Partway down the page.. but really all of the 4 pages of comics are hilarious/accurate

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

I wasn't thinking those things specifically... but Frank (William H Macy) does some really messed up things in Shameless... in the season 2-3 premiere I think he goes to a bar and starts charging to let men blow him in the bathroom to make some money when he gets desperate

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

I think I've seen that comic posted on imgur before... it looks familiar... and I know I've seen similar in TV or movies...

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

No more shame!! :D

I keep thinking...........good thing we didn't go to high school together we would have gotten twin expulsions.

Now I need to get under 5 so I can taunt and inflict shame on others. :)

Hehe totally.

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

Haha also encourage people to wreck their challenges by starting new series with you. "You know you want too...."

Cult of Yex 3/3 Bystle Vale has been brought up to date. I may abandon the series when the next one comes out. I'm reserving judgement.
