When I vote on animagus apps, I write down adjectives in a Word document so I can really focus my thoughts. I might also look at favorite kind of weather or time of day. Then if I have a vibe, I’ll go off of that, and if I don’t get one, I’ll see if they listed any animals that I think fit with their app at all. I’ve never taken what a person looks like into consideration for a form, though I know some people do. For me it just makes things more complicated, I guess. Like, now I have to focus on finding an animal that not only matches in personality, but in looks, and sometimes just finding a personality match is incredibly difficult. X_x I usually go to google and type in something like “cold weather animals”, “fastest dog breeds”, etc.. Then I’ll go from the sites that pop up, see if I find an animal that I think matches the adjectives, and then see if Wikipedia can shed more light on it. Then if it doesn’t, go back to google and type in the animal’s name, because there’s usually at least one site that has enough information on the animal to let me know if it’s a good match, or if I hit a dead end. I had to take a break from voting on apps for the past couple batches, because the past quarter of college ran me ragged. I like to attempt to get all 5 apps done at once, for some reason, rather than doing it spread out (even though spreading it out is probably the better way xD ). I dunno, I think it feels like I have more to do if I spread it out over a couple of days.
