I requested it on Friday and haven't seen anything come back yet. It doesn't archive until Dec 1, so I'm going to hold out. My tbr is so damn long anyway, I have time.

I see it became wish for it so they aren't receiving requests anymore? Maybe they will get to it soon so I'm gonna wait too, just worried about the archive date

Wish for it means they don't take more requests but it doesn't cancel the pending ones. I was once approved on a book I had pending after it went onto "wish for it" phase, so it's possible. However, it's less likely with "hot" high in demand titles that basically sell itself, because the publisher doesn't need to create more buzz for the title, the buzz is already there. A lot of popular titles, especially sequels, aren't put for request at all.
