    I received my rejection from them today. I sent it off sunday, I think, so maybe they are just checking you out a little longer. :)

    A LOT longer. :D Although, that kinda worries me, because on their website they say emails might get accidentally deleted or not go through, but to not resend it until after the 4-8 weeks. That looks like a high probability now.

    Or you could just wait a bit longer. Really, two weeks isn't very long at all in submission terms.

    Okay. I'm completely new to the publishing world. The first couple agents weren't large companies so they responded within the day. So, I'll just grin and bear the wait and perhaps start on the sequel. ;)

    Have you checked average response times on www.duotrope.com?

    I went to that site, but it looks like it just has searches for publishers. I've been querying agents, though.
