Uh...since I think you probably mean me (unless someone else is reviewing, in which case cool), no the point is not to get people flocking to my LJ, nor is it to cause wank. I review every single fic I read all year round and have been for quite some time; it's an essential part of reading for me.
I am always looking for new fic to read, and a fest like this (small enough that I can read everything) is the perfect way to do so. By making myself read everything, regardless of pairing or summary, I've found lots of really great fic I would otherwise have missed. So far I've found eight rec-worthy fics, and several others that were enjoyable. To me, that's worth reading through the ones I didn't enjoy.
If I wanted to start wank, I'd leave negative comments on the fics themselves, but you'll notice that I don't comment on fics I don't like, or even on fics I'm half-hearted on. I leave only positive comments and only on the fics I like. The reviews are for me to process my thoughts, and maybe someone else on my flist will get some use from them.
