Thanks to jbshelleby and slcody for the info on the fulls. I just added a note for my records to remember. There is no excuse for this unprofessional and unkind behavior. If she doesn't have time to read a full, she shouldn't request it. I know this is a game we all have to play but this behavior in particular disgusts me.

The full request email specifically said it would take at least six months to hear back, and not to nudge unless there was a competing offer. I did not nudge. Never heard back at all.

She requests a fair number of manuscripts, but won't read without a competing offer. I got one, and she read the manuscript to the end and gave nice comments before passing. Or, rather, I don't want to be inaccurate. She might glance at the manuscript even if there's no competing offer, but she is unlikely to take it seriously. That's my read on the situation

I gave it 6+ months from full ms request, then nudged twice, two weeks apart. Moving on...
