CNR: 10/4
I see she has a different set up than she used to. Now she only responds if she's interested. But it does appear she responds to some. I was a bit bummed that I didn't hear anything as it was a referral from a different agent at the agency. I had at least hoped for a rejection of some sort. Best of luck to the rest of you. It's a dream agency, so I wish you all better luck than I.

“ I think you have a very interesting project here, and it certainly touches on a number of my interests, but I'm afraid I'm just not connecting with it on the whole in a way that makes me think I'd be the best champion for it, so I am going to have to pass.”

Form Rejection: 8/10/21
Waited two business weeks to follow up on query per Triada's website instructions. Upon following up, received auto-response:
Thank you for your email. If you are a QUERYING WRITER, please note that while I am still open to queries, I am currently only able to respond to those in which I am interested. If you do not hear from me in two weeks, it is a pass. Please do not re-query.
UPDATE:
Amelia did respond to my follow-up with a somewhat custom form rejection. Very nice and friendly pass. :)
FR: 11/09/20
Nudged: 03/02/21 (next day response saying she'll get back to me soon) and 07/29/21 (no response)
Withdrawn: 08/18/21 (offer of rep from other agent received)

Even though this was a form rejection, it was still somewhat personalized, which I very much appreciated! On to the next. :)
This is what the agent said, exactly:
Thank you for querying me with [MANUSCRIPT WORKING TITLE]. I think you have an interesting project here, but I'm afraid I'm not connecting with it on the whole in a way that makes me think I'd be the best champion for it, so I am going to have to pass.
Thank you again and I wish you the best of luck in your search for representation.
Best wishes,
Amelia
