Thank you for your answer to my last question. I wanted to check one last detail. Does these two complete works to be submitted have to be between 1,000 and 3,000 words in length from the start? Or can they be longer texts/oneshots, but from which a 1000-3000 words excerpt has been extracted?

Hello!

The 1,000-3,000 is the size of the samples you will be submitting. At least one of them must be a complete, stand alone fic within the word count, with a second submission that can also be a complete work or an excerpt from a larger work within the word count.

The optional, third can be an excerpt from a larger fic, as long as the excerpt is within the word count.

To summarize, all three excerpts must be within the 1,000-3,000 word count!

Hope this helps, and thank you for the question!
