We created a quick quiz just for fun to see if you are a fountain pen addict. Take the quiz and see how you rate. Let us know how you did.

 

 

I got 47% - "chance you are an addict". I'm not an addict in the pen-acquisition mania sense - I simply love writing with a nice FP. I keep a journal on TR paper, and several times a day, I will make an entry, simply because I want to write with a nice FP. So I'm not a collector - more a writer.

Oops!

 

85% chance of addiction. Fortunately I can stop any time I want to.

I got 91% on the test, I think because I use my fountain pens throughout the day and prefer to use my fountain pen than a ballpoint if someone offers.

Kevin

That was close 59%

I glad there were no questions on ephemeral. I just bought another counter top Parker display case

& picked up another Parker 3rd gen Vac today.

I never buy brand new Fp's just vintage Parkers.

My score was 79%. I have over 200 fountain pens and my family says I am addicted. However, I know I can stop buying them anytime I want and I can also stop looking at the FPN web page anytime I want, and I can stop thinking about fountain pens any time I want, and ....................

Goodness! I have 3 fountain pens, a few inks, and some nice paper. I really, really enjoy writing with my fountain pens, addicted, you might say, on that score. I write throughout the day, whenever I can, and it is refreshing to me. But the dea of having 200 fountain pens, or even 20, strikes me as, well, let's just say it's not my game. I mean, there are only 24 hours in a day, and there are many calls upon my attention. What does one do with 200 fountain pens? Look at them?

      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
