Weekend Reads, same rules apply?

Jack I don't want to get you spilling coffee or anything or wrecking the car or anything. But everyone knows what a weekend read means. Just CALM DOWN.

And don;t get too wiorked up by Monday. Even if it IS a weekend read, she might not finish it over the weekend. Agents DO have lives, yanno.

Guys, from what I think that said, a weekend read could mean a quicker response from the agent. Is this true?

From what I’ve learned here, agents general don’t reply to requested material until weeks, maybe months later.
But what about if they requested is with what seemed to be a great deal of interest and needed it before the weekend? What then?
Now that said weekend is over, should I expect a quicker response? Can I email a question, wondering how it’s going? Her request DID state that if I had any questions, feel free to email or call (I would never call. That is big time wrong… isn’t it?).

I do want to state that I’m not expecting overnight miracles. She has a life and that manuscript is 450 pages. I couldn’t read it in that short period of time.

I just need to know, from the strong forum of tried and tested people here, just what IS a weekend read, what does it mean on the agent end and what does it mean in regards to my rights to check in without spoiling the whole thing with my impatience?

Thanks guys.

I’m half way through the next one. The muse won’t wait for anyone!
Sigh. So same rules apply.
Very well then. Back to work.
