Me too. Meh on fests. I'm going go severely cut back on my fest participation next year. Of course I said the same thing last year...
And I love real life details of British life in fics, as long as they are a believable part of the wizarding world. It's only when they are clearly Muggle details that I get tweaked.
I'm fine with Muggley details when they need to be there, but yes, I do find myself wondering why the average witch would want an Oyster card ...
You would be welcome to join the Minimalist Fest Club with Sassy and me, we will run the occasional fest where we put up banners in support of each other finishing or starting any story. No deadlines, of course!
