We try to. :/ And those are just the fests. People also post stuff not-anon at their journals and comms all the time. On average, I'll have 20-30 tabs open to read on a recsletter day, to try to decide on 2-6 or so of them to rec. And we only do rarepairs and gen!

This is why, on occasion, we have been known to make sadfaces when various well-meaning fandom souls announce, "I'm creating a new fest for X!!!" :/ But, like I said above, I generally don't mind, or I wouldn't do it. :)
