I used to use fountain pens in middle school and high school and I stopped using using them for reasons I don't remember. I think it was the funky ink colors that some gels came in. Now I've discovered that fountain pens also have ink in all sorts of fun colors. :-)

As for my taste in fountain pens, like small sizes and very fine lines. I used to use, like any stereotypical n00b, a Parker Vector but I always thought its "fine" nib was still too thick for my taste. This time though, I'm gonna stick with the Japanese pens and their fine or extra-fine nibs.

Welcome to FPN.

Welcome to FPN.

Welcome from LV to SF to FPN!

P.S. I like your screenname.

Pink ink is my next priority once these pens I ordered arrive. :-) Pinks, reds, purples, blues -- these are the colors I gravitate towards.

Welcome, Pink Ink, from South City!

I'm getting a Pen Posse together to meet and hang out with YouStruckGold (visiting from Australia) at the end of October. Perhaps you'd like to join us!

Meantime, welcome, welcome!

Hi and welcome.
Nice Name. Looking forward to seeing you buy this that and the other.

LOL, I just went on a little shopping spree. Pilot Cavalier (which I now have), Pilot Prera, Pilot Vortex and Pilot Penmanship (these three are still in the mail). And I really have my eye on the Daks Slim. Depending on my mood and expenses next weekend I just might buy it.

*waves* Oooh, I want to go!

Welcome to FPN!

It sounds like you have caught the bug already!

Hee, I had the bug back in middle school and high school. It's more like I've recaught the bug. And I'm more dangerous now -- I'm a more informed buyer now. :-)

Welcome to the FPN

Welcome.

I'm married to FPN screen name Inky Pinky. I'll be careful not to get too confused.

Hello and welcome Pink Ink!

Hello and welcome to FPN!! Take a look at Levengers Pinkly ink it is the pinkest ink I have ever seen!

Oooh, this one? That is a beautiful color, I'm getting that. How many ml per bottle?

pink ink, read this thread by Taki about several different pink inks.

Also pay attention to Rachmaninov -- it's out of this world. It's not your usual ink though; the flow isn't perfect (will be a hard starter after a bit of disuse, but only in some pens...)

welcome to FPN!

Hee, I was just looking at that. I was leaning towards Noodler's Ottoman Rose from that scan. As for Rachmaninov, this review says the pic and scan don't do the ink justice but I'm still unconvinced. :-/

Welcome from another San Franciscan.

That's the one! 50 ml bottles.

Yes, join us! Welcome from Menlo Park!

P.S. Go whole hog and get both the Pinkly pen AND ink together.

Oooh, yes, I'm going, hope to meet you there too!

As for the Levenger, hm... that is tempting...

Welcome from the other side of the Bay.
