For two-dimensional Bernoulli percolation at density \(p\) above the critical point, there exists a natural norm \(g\) determined by the rate of decay of the connectivity function in every direction. If \(W\) is the region of unit area with boundary of minimum possible \(g\)-length, then it is known that as \(N\to \infty\), with probability approaching 1, conditionally on \(N\leq | C(0)| < \infty\), the cluster \(C(0)\) of the origin approximates \(W\) in shape to within a factor of \(1\pm \eta(N)\) for some \(\eta(N)\to 0\). Here a bound is established for the size \(\eta(N)\) of the fluctuations. Other types of conditioning which result in the formation of a shape approximating \(W\) are also considered. This is related to the quadratic stability of the variational minimum achieved by the Wulff curve \(\partial W\): for some \(k>0\), if \(\gamma\) is a curve enclosing a region of unit area such that the Hausdorff distance \(d_ H(\gamma+v,dW)\geq \delta\) for every translate \(\gamma+v\), then the \(g\)-length \(g(\gamma)\geq g(\partial W)+k\delta^ 2\), at least for \(\delta\) small.
