Hi, for the application, what's the difference between 'samples' and the portfolio? I'd like to have an idea of which examples of my art to list as samples, and which to leave in the portfolio.
Also, I'm applying for writing as well, so do my samples all have to be Gravity Falls related or can I put in a few short ones from other fandoms too if I feel they also demonstrate my writing style well?

Thank you ^^

Hi! Your three samples should be pieces you feel best capture your style and technical skill. Those are the pieces we will be looking at FIRST when evaluating applications. Your portfolio can include these pieces as well as anything else you would like us to see! Showcasing a variety of work in different styles and environments here will help round out your application.

For both art and writing samples, we ask that at least one of your pieces is Gravity Falls related so we can get a feel for how you depict the characters. However, you are more than welcome to include samples from other fandoms, especially if you believe they represent your best work.
