Nine Way Flier
Should the PWNY-verse be included? It does rival the longest series as of now.
When In Deadly Danger, When Beset By Doubt, Run In Little Circles, Wave Your Arms and Shout~!
Should Star Trek and Doctor Who be included? Because they are expanded universes, and do not mention any long-running series IN the expanded universes by name, thereby nullifying them until such are mentioned? Removing for now.

Legend of Drizzt? That's part of the Forgotten Realms D&D spinoff, so that's arguably "Expanded universe", isn't it? So should that be in here?
Th lttr "E" is too mainstram.
I can't find any info on The Black Bat book series. Sources, anyone? What is the series, anyway?

on it
These aren't really formatted like the rest of the page and they hard to read as a result. This is supposed to be an index more than a trope. I'm sticking these here until they can be formatted right, and made sure they fit.

'M not Crazy, just Raven
Are the requirement listed "And" requirements, or "Or" requirements. For example, Animorphs only took 5 years to publish (the requirement says 10 is required), but has 54 books (64 if the side-stories and alternate-continuity books are included).

And requirements. Animorphs doesn't count. It didn't run for a long time.

Khym Chanur: Does it count if it's a series of different stories in the same Verse by the same author? For example, Young Wizards is counted at 11, but that includes the both the main series and the Feline Wizards sister series, so from that it'd seem the answer is "yes". But what about CJ Cherryh's Alliance Union series? The Morgaine Cycle and the Chanur Saga are technically in that Verse, but they don't really feel like it.

I don't know either of the series in question so I can't answer in more than general. If they feel like part of a series they should count towards the 10 needed. If they don't, they don't. They might be able to be listed as spin-offs, but they don't count for the books needed to make it on the list.

How about Goosebumps?
It's initial run went between 1992-1997, with Goosebumps 2000 going between 1994-2000 (when RL Stine had a falling out with Scholastic). However, the books are being published again in 2008, and is still going today.
The last run makes it 10 years alone.
