I agree as well, that does seem a little unfair. :/ I have an idea for a modified version:

You may ask for a series under these conditions: 1. The series was last edited over two weeks ago 2. There are less than 2 episodes that have pages (not sure about this one) 3. There is not a set time later than two weeks when the author is planning on working on it (for example, I'm going to be making The Guardians in March.)

If all of the following apply, you can post on the talk page of the person who originally created it and ask them if you can have it. If they don't reply in one week or they say that you can have it, the series is yours. If they say that they wish to keep it to work on later, they keep it.

Thoughts? :D?
