I forgot to withdraw my application over the break bc i felt like this work wasn’t meant for her but glad i got a response.
I totally get not wanting to work with an agent because of it, just saying that it's very common from an outsider perspective. Could be that there's a legitimate problem with communication/manners even with the way she handles clients and editors here, but we can't know that just from this interaction.
Full Req: 5/17/22, Uploaded same day

Thought this would be helpful to @potatochip. It's best to cut your losses sometimes. :/
Submitted full: Jan 4/23 (yup, literally 7 months later)
When she requested the full, I had an active query with another agent from the same agency. I decided to give the first agent time to consider my query, which took 6 months, hence the delay (they requested the full but ended up passing).
I don't expect an agent receiving my full after half a year of requesting it to even remember that they requested it, much less offer rep on it, but just thought I'd send it on the off chance that she might still find it interesting.
Twitter seems to be a better place to check for updates, as most agents with Twitter will post an update on the actual day they have opened.

Had a lovely personalized response to my full. Indicated how much she loved the premise and voice, but needed to work on line by line writing. Ended with saying that if I ever return to this project in the future she would love to see it again!
