hi!! for the portfolio aspect of the writing apps, is just linking to our ao3 enough? or should we also signpost to particular fics that we think are our best examples of work for the zine (especially if we have a lot of fics on our ao3)

Linking to your Ao3 works as a portfolio! From our Info Doc:

"Ao3 pages or other similar sites can be considered your portfolio. [...] For applicants with larger portfolios, the mods cannot guarantee that every submitted sample will be read."

We can guarantee that we'll read the selected samples, but not everything in your portfolio. If you would like to further highlight some of your favorite works, you're welcome to provide a Google Doc with a select number of pieces instead! Linking to an Ao3 instead of creating a specific portfolio will not effect your application in a negative way.
