Hello there, FPN!

 

Well this is quite a site and I figured why not I make an account since I'm always knee-deep in writing.

 

To introduce myself, my name is Ian and I recently got bitten by the Pen Bug about 1 month ago and already have gotten myself quite a collection of pens.

 

Being a sophomore in university, writing with fountain pens has given me two reasons to enjoy the essense of writing with a nib rather than a ballpoint: the multiple choices of ink and the unique character that evolves around the sight of a fountain pen.

 

I hope to enjoy being in the company of FPN and I'll be sure to keep the fountain pen fun going.

 

Nice to meet you guys/girls!

Howdy Ian,

Welcome to the FPN. I got a NIBble from the Pen Bug, too, about 9 months ago. And, oh my goodness, I certainly hope that wonderful little "pest" doesn't try to fly away. As a matter of fact I truely attempt to stay in the line of fire. Enjoy your stay.

May be your Down-falll!!!

Greetings from Robin Hood Country. It's good to have you on the team. You will certainly enjoy your time here amongst like-minded fools fanatics folks.

 

Your wallet may see it differently.

 

PS : We do not have the word sophomore over this side of the Big Pond. Is it the same as semaphore? Then you must be the flag-waver for your university. :P ;) :bunny01:

To err is human. To errrrrrrr is confusion.

Thanks for allowing me to be part of this! And yes my wallet has been hurt recently! I've never heard the word semaphore, but I guess you can say I have pride for my university :D !

 

I'm actually a second year student here at university in NYC.

Welcome !

 

I, too, used a fountain pen through college. The smooth, easy flow of liquid ink allows a relaxed grip in writing.

It was much less fatiguing than the tight grip of a ballpoint pen. When my writing hand became "cramped", I would

pick and choose what to write into my notes, and what to omit. The longer one can take notes without fatigue, the

better quality of notes. It was an advantage.

 

Which fountain pen do you use in class ?

Well, the Spring semester here for me starts the 27th of this month, so this would be the first time I use a fountain pen for class. But I think I have the write tool; the Pilot Custom 74 lays down a line that's nice and thin but not too wet that I can use it on both cheap and high quality paper. That and it is glass smooth, which is perfect for those days professors cram so much information into one lecture.

Welcome - you are local as far as I'm concerned :) I can certainly warn you that a case of the pen virus can be had twice. I had it really bad in college and for a few years after. Then I had 3 children, a 125 year old house that needed rebuilding and a full time job. It's only recently that I realized that the virus still lurked (it never completely went away - I always had a few fountain pens).

 

So be warned - it can last a long time LOL

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
