I'm a little confused about the length of writing samples. According to the guidelines, they should fall within "a word count range of 2k-3k, with a 100 word leeway on either side". And the one required COMPLETE fic needs to be "2.5k, with a 100 word leeway below and a 500 word leeway above." Is that right? So if my complete fic is 2.1k, it's too short?

Hello. The guidelines state that 3 samples must be in a 2k-3k word count range with a 100 word leeway on either side. The one sample that must be complete has the same requirements.

Should you be accepted as a writer, the required fic specs at the bottom of the guidelines is what you are expected to complete for the zine.

Hope this helps!
