Origin: 1350–1400; Middle English < Latin arbitrātiōn- (stem of arbitrātiō ), equivalent to arbitrāt ( us ) (see arbitrate) + -iōn- -ion

August Rush: Collective Catch-up, Week Four

[haldoor.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone! As you know, last week was the last week of August Rush, but I'd like to remind you that if you still have work you want to put forward for rewards, there's still time! Either link anything you've done here, or next weekend, I'll be doing a giant list of everything that was done over the whole month, and you can link it there.

Thank you again, everyone who joined in - whether you made it an every day thing or whether you managed a few posts here and there, I'm thrilled with the response and with all the magnificent creations! You have all been FANTASTIC!

Our totals have now reached...

18,337 words, 337 icons, 135 banners and 4 wallpapers!

This week's additions have been 1927 words, 74 icons and 20 banners! YAY! Thank you, everyone! That's a fantastic total. Anyone up for pushing it to 20,000 words, 350 icons, 150 banners and 5 wallpapers before the 7th September? There's still time! GO, GO, GO! :D

And I did one banner for each fandom myself over the last two weeks, just to keep my toes in - they are linked below the cut too, under Collective Days.

( Round-up of this week's work so far under the cut )

And that's the end of new pics for the challenge, obviously, but do join in and give us what you've made or will make over the next week (if you want rewards), or just post them when you have time after that ;-) It's all good!

Next Sunday
The final collection post covering all four weeks goes up - at the risk of being far too repetitive, don't forget to link us to any more of your creations then, if you haven't done so beforehand. And I'll be talking more about rewards then, so be sure to tune in! ;-)

Daily Count Challenge

To hit my goal for the month, I need 250 words per day. I'm currently at 283 and counting, so VICTORY!
