I know! Freakin' weird, eh?
Tell me about it... I'm so shocked, I think I need CPR or somethin'.

OMG! A Canadian agent willing to look at science fiction and fantasy. I think I just fell off my chair
Must have been a batch reject because I got one too.Well I sent a polite inquiry regarding a manuscript of mine they'd been reading since November 3 2008 (I sent a polite inquiry one month ago today and heard nothing, so I waited another four weeks) I was today rejected with rather a generic rejection blaming market conditions and having to feel very committed to a project.
Normally I wouldn't have a problem with that, however since I'd made it past the partial stage and they rejected a full, I kind of hoped for some constructive criticism or at least something other than a market reason. Yeah, sounds whiny, but what are you going to do?

Despite the big "not accepting submissions" still being up, they do accept submissions again.
I e-queried on 6/25 after noticing them showing up on Agent Query and got a request for a partial today 6/30.
We are not currently accepting
queries and submissions except by
invitation or referral.
I sent in a query on August 8, received a response on the 12 requesting the partial and then on the 21st they mailed a receipt of the partial paired with an apology for the delay. Quite honestly, they're very efficient, whereas I'm still waiting for responses to queries that I sent at the beginning of last month :/
If you sent a query on the 18th, HappyCamper, it hasn't even been a full week yet! They do seem pretty speedy, but if you don't hear anything by the end of the week, you could probably assume it means a no.
Thanks! Knowing always trumps waiting.
