Thanks for the kind words everyone. Still no word back yet, though... and it's officially been a month. Does anyone have some insight they'd be able to share?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Pete!
First of all. Nice portfolio.
I'm in the same position as you. I got accepted and was requested to send in full-res sample images. So I did in the beginning of October. After I while I got impatient and wrote the support and asked when I would get more information, and I got this answer:
"Hi Jacob,
Thank you so much for your patience.
In all honesty, we've been overwhelmed with the interest from photographers to join our co-operative and are currently going through all of these applications. There's no particular reason for the delay on your submission other than the backlog we're currently facing. We're a small team with a very limited number of memberships available so we're trying to be as thorough as possible with each request.
We'll notify you as soon as we've had a chance to review your submission.
Thank you again for your patience and understanding.
Rob"
So I guess - all we can do is wait!
Hi everyone,
I still haven't heard back. I also had written to inquire on my status a while ago, but received the same canned answer as Jacob. And now where their website's call to artists page says "We have now reached our limit for 2013 and have closed our Call To Artists. Please check back in April 2014 if you are interested in becoming a Stocksy Photographer," I don't know if I still have a chance or not. I had heard they were responding to everyone, whether they made it in, or not. Am I part of that 2013 "limit" they've reached?
ammentorp, have you heard back?
I need to make other business moves, however this "unknown" has kept me in limbo for quite a while. I hope it will be worth the wait.
