Animagus voting can be intimidating, because there is a lot to it. You have to read the application, and then write a good bit out about the animal and your reasons why.
The very first thing I do, is read the entire application over once. I usually get a vibe for that person, at least of a general animal. In separate tabs, I open the profile page, to check that the animal I pick is not chosen, and wikipedia. I search the general animal up on wikipedia, and try to make sure they fit most of that person’s wants and abilities. I do take in their wants and the animals they relate to most, but it’s a thin line between that and what I believe best fits this person.
Choosing a subcategory is a bit easier. A big thing to take into account in subcategory is their aggressiveness. You don’t want to give a quiet, passive person an aggressive animal and vice versa. You can also take into account aesthetic wants while choosing a subcategory. Other things to take into account are: their weather preferences, day/night preferences, locale preferences, and personality.
Basically, the main animal is chosen by your vibe for the person. The subcategory is a bit more refined, though easier to pick somehow, which bases more on their wants.
Making the vote long enough can be a bit harder. Stick to the easy things! Why is this person like the animal? Why did you get the vibe for the animal? What will this person like in the animal? (Claws, aesthetic, locale, etc)
