Q: 10/02/25
Nudged due to full request: 11/09/25
Nudged due to offer: 12/13/25
Nudge informing my declining offer: 12/26/25 (noted the office was closed until Jan 5th).
Nudged one last time due to no response on 01/05/26, received response next day basically saying she’s catching up.
I’ve nudged again, 01/26/26 because it’s been over 16 weeks total & she opens again in a week. I’m not holding my breath at this point though :S
Upmarket crime thriller, 87k.

Thank @Patricia_Writes and @writethrowclay. I missed that they weren't opening in January.
