I prefer ongoing series because if it's already completed I will probably read it as fast as I can and won't sleep very well >_>

Well I preffer completed series because then I know from the start that I will be able to read and enjoy the series untill the end. But on the other hand I don't really mind Ongoing series that much either, if the releases are comming on a regular basis. Right now I'm following several ongoing series. It's always refreshing that a new release comes out, while you are reading another (completed) series.
But ongoing series that are put on hold or dropped or even have their releases comming out way to slow are damn irritating.
Like Open Sesame Tsk it takes like forever for chapter 64 :s
And I started reading Kotaro Makaritoru and Ai ga tomaranai.... Big mistake since It doesn't seem anyone will ever scanlate them again!

I hate the pause for ongoing series, but then again, if a series is really good, it can be quite depressing if it is completed.
I guess there just isn't any way to win...

You said it best but then again they can't go on forever can they? But the most horrifying thing is a series on hiatus cause the mangaka has problems. Holy crap I just realized what if a mangaka dies? No. I'm gonna talk to god for the first time in a long while and ask that that doesn't happen.
Oh Manick its been bothering me for a while but there's something about your avatar. It almost seems like a real person altough I know it's just art but the face...hmmm... something about it. Where did you get it if you don't mind me asking?

I read everything! But I think I really prefer completed series. I love the suspense of one chapter to the next, but it just kills me when I can't get my next fix anytime in the near future. I think Manick really put it in the best way...what a genius ;) I got nearly every single completed series listed on this website (excluding shojo)

Yeah, that's happened with a long shoujo series called Itazura na Kiss. It's 23 volumes and will have no real end because the mangaka died. But for people that have read until the end of the series (it's maybe about half-scanslated as I write this), the last story was an okay one for an "ending". But I've always wondered that if the author for a big series like Harry Potter passed away and doesn't finish the story, will people freak out and go nuts? (Nah, probably just cry for the most part.)

The funny thing is, I went over to animemusicvideos.org and someone used like an avatar that was either the same or similar to that one. It was screwing me up a bit mentally. xD

Perhaps it's easier looking for brownie points from Manick than lambchopll. ^^;

Hah, you're right. I just went over there and took a look. He's using a bigger portion of the face. I cropped the image off of a wallpaper a few years ago, so he probably did the same thing.
Edit:
Here, I think this is where I got it from: http://www.mangaupdates.com/manick/renmei.jpg

Didn't that happen with Tezuka Osamu and his manga Pheonix? Or am I remembering that wrong?

I just hope it doesn't happen to any of the ongoing series that I read. Is that selfish? I think not. Are there any female admins? Gotta go get some brownie points there.
Fun! see how a pro gets brownie points without being so direct. Look at my new avatar.<< Mwahahahaha.

Hmm...I don't accept bribes, you know. You have to *impress* me, not give me something.
And Manick, so THAT'S where you got your avatar...
Btw, I prefer completed, but I read more ongoing...They're just so good!
