I sent a requested full in mid May, 2021, and haven't heard anything since. I've nudged a few of times with no response. I guess it's time to CNR?

Has anybody seen information on when she’ll re-open to queries again? I saw January but don’t think she’s open yet.

"I'm sorry, but [title] does not sound like a fit for me at this time, and so I will have to pass. Thank you for considering me and best of luck with your future queries. I hope you will share new works with me."
So she never read it? Just rejected it based on the title?

I queried July 10 but still haven't heard. Not sure if that's a good thing or not. Wondering if I should nudge or not....

Rejected in 2 days saying she would pass but that she "hopes I will share future works." Why, so she can reject them, too?

Not sure why she was slower to respond to me when everyone else reported that she responds super quick. Not sure if it has anything to do with the fact that she had requested a full from me back in 2013.
"I have read your query for [TITLE] and found it interesting. Please follow the instructions below to upload your full manuscript. I'm looking forward to reading it."
