I just spent the last few hours examining the query timelines of pretty much every active agent (e-mail, web form and QM form) who has "Fantasy" in their genre listings for the last 2 years (that's as far back as the query timeline goes), and I've found something that makes me think that we, as writers, aren't being told something.
What I found is that, over the last two years, out of all of the queries that have been submitted to agents looking for fantasy submissions, the number of queries that resulted in offers of representation can be counted on two hands, with several fingers to spare. Every other submission was either rejected or resulted in a CNR. Given that, and this may just be speculation on my part, I'm starting to wonder if it's really the publishers that just aren't currently looking for any fantasy submissions. So regardless of whether or not the agent may enjoy the submission, if they have no publishers to sell it to, there's no point in representing those fantasy authors. And if that is the case, quite frankly, I wish the agents would just say so. Because if it's a matter of market over-saturation and little to no demand from publishers, it does beg one particular question.
Why are agents still requesting fantasy submissions if every submission is just going to end up getting rejected or CNR'd?
I'd rather an agent tell me that the fantasy genre just isn't currently in demand from traditional publishers so I can just start the self-publishing process and the marketing/advertising process than to waste months of time waiting for agents who are ultimately going to reject or CNR all fantasy submissions, regardless of quality. Because if it is the case that there's no publisher demand right now, agents continuing to ask for fantasy submissions is nothing more than a waste of their time, as agents, and a waste of our time, as fantasy writers.

I have a feeling that this one will probably end up as a CNR.
