Progress report #7 (301 - 350)
This will most likely be the last progress report since the current estimates for the series are:
- Total posts: 387
- Current predicted end date: 14th September 2026
… although I still expect that to change!
- Total number of posts: 330
- Total word count: 134,515 this is up 21,467 since post 300 - I have changed the way I count words so this is more accurate which is why it’s only 11,857 higher than the count in progress report #6. This does however mean that it’s overtaken
- Tales from Earthsea - Ursula K. Le Guin
- Atonement - Ian McEwan
- The Silmarillion - J. R. R. Tolkien
- … and is still heading for
- The Return of the King - J. R. R. Tolkien
- A Tale of Two Cities - Charles Dickens
- 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea - Jules Verne
It seems that Damon & Naomi have been punching above their weight during the last 50 posts, being the primary artist in 15 of them - so 30% of the posts, whereas over the whole 350 they are closer to 17% of total posts.
| Primary act | % of 301 to 350 | % of 1 to 350 |
|---|---|---|
| Damon & Naomi | 30 | 17.7 |
| Dean & Britta | 10 | 12.6 |
| Dean Wareham | 20 | 23.1 |
| Galaxie 500 | 14 | 18.6 |
| Luna | 24 | 26.6 |
| n/a | 2 | 1.4 |
The “n/a” are the posts that technically shouldn’t be in the series if I followed my rules. But… my rules!
Those five are:
- Angel Corpus Christi - Bewitched: A Tribute to Luna
- Britta Phillips & Kramer - Nocturnes
- Various - On Fire 30
- Various - This Music Is Ours
- Various - Decomposing: The Songs of Galaxie 500 and Luna
Since I started the series there at the beginning of 2023 there have been 543 posts to AHFoW. 360 have been related to the My record collection series which means there have only been 183 regular posts which I guess brings up the question… what will I do with all the time I have after September!?
