Epic fantasy. Full request from Chesapeake Writers Conference. She was absolutely awesome, would be a dream to work with her!

@roadmap don't give up hope! She's WAY behind what she says her timeline is. She's not even remotely close to most of the late January queries yet.

I agree with Zenovia. She is clearly going back regularly and working her way through her list, it just isn't in perfect order. She literally did one two days ago from October 14th. She got slammed as soon as she opened to queries, and she's working through her list. I don't know what you mean by "giving up on this agent," but I think it would be really ill-advised to withdraw your query. She will get to it Justin, probably this month or in February. However, if by giving up you mean you aren't going to check her comment section every single week, I think that's a REALLY good idea.

She probably has a huge backlog of queries and the ones she has rejected fairly recently are ones that she quickly knew were not a fit for her list (or knew were a fit for her list). The website says they might not answer all queries but I think nudging after 3 months is fine so long as you are polite imo. The queries are on querymanager so I don't think there's a chance of them getting lost.
