101k Fantasy. Q and FR-- same day, but they have such an eloquent way of saying it just wasn't interesting enough (for them) Kinda made me laugh. ;-)

"I appreciate being trusted with your work. That said, I have unfortunately decided not to pursue your project further... If I am sending you this form response, it is because I wasn't deeply intrigued by your premise (as articulated in your query) and your opening pages did not subsequently reverse this hesitation."

Query - 6/27/25
Adult Science Fiction 107K
Requested first 50 7/8/25, sent the day after
Semi-form rejection on 8/14/25; "This is a rejection based wholly on my personal taste, not some semi-objective craft reason, which means I can offer little to no constructive editorial feedback/useful personalization."

Appreciate any interest from them, bummed that it didn't work out, they seemed really cool to work with!
