I've been voting in every application for quite some time now, and it is a MAJOR pain in the butt as you said. For me the best way to endure it is to think about it this way:
#1. Being an animagus is a big deal. But becoming one doesn't happen without people voting. Just because other people vote doesn't make it a good excuse for me not to vote.
#2. No one wants a crap selection of animals, especially when it comes time to having people vote on your app. So put your best effort into it and you'll be rewarded (and I was! yay!).
#3. I absolutely cannot understand people who only post their applications, but don't vote in return. They do not appreciate the time and effort it takes to vote, yet they bring more work. How ungrateful/rude.
#4. I am very thankful for the people who voted on my application, and I feel like it's only right to return the favor. They gave me such a wonderful group of animals to choose from. They gave me animals I had never even thought about associating myself with and after doing some research in each animal, I was in awe at how perfectly they fit me. So I definitely want to return the favor!
With that said, I get a ~vibe from every application and go from there. I usually get an idea of what animal I want to stamp them as, and then use google to search for specific species.
