Dearest Members and Visitors of the Fountain Pen Nut House,

It is with great pleasure, that we would like to announce our latest vict.., uhhh, addition to our great line-up of moderating volunteers, namely, saskia_madding, to some of us known as "Simone" :D.

 

As you may know, she has a great interest in inks, and more specifically, ink reviews, so it will come as no surprise, that she has joined forces to help with updating the Ink Review Index.

 

Saskia/Simone, welcome to the backroom offices of this place, and may you have a great stay here!

 

Three cheers for saskia_madding!

 

Warm regards,

The FPN Admin Team

Welcome Simone, and thank you for taking on what, I'm sure, can be a difficult job at times.

Sincerely, beak.

notworthy1.gif Thank you Simone! No doubt better and braver than we deserve!

 

Did they tell you Wim is really the earthly manifestation of ST CHRISTINA THE ASTONISHING: patron saint of insanity; lunatics; mental health caregivers; mental illness; psychiatrists; etc ?

 

So if you see weird stuff happening in the back room remember you were warned.....wink.gif

Thanks for the welcome, guys! I'm super excited to be helping in the Ink Reviews section of this forum, as it is where I admittedly spend most of my time. I'm no SamCapote, but I'm definitely obsessed with inks! :blush: The only reason I'm finding the job a little tough is because I'm opening and looking at WAY MORE ink reviews than I have in the past, and now I want to buy them all. :headsmack:

 

I've been working my way backwards to update the index, from more recent reviews to later ones. But if anyone has any they know aren't in the index and they'd like me to update right away, feel free to PM me! I'm always happy for the head's up. :)

Interesting read. Especially the bit about the river Meuse :D.

 

I was actually born close to the river Meuse, or Maas as it is called here, and so far have lived 28 years in Maastricht too, which essentially is the bastardisation of the Roman name of Mosae Trajectae for the town, meaning Bridge over the Maas / Meuse. That's a total of 32 years close to the river Maas. I never swam in the river, though, like St. CHristina did. I only fished in it - and never caught anything :D.

 

I guess your warning may have some bearing after all :D.

 

Warm regards, Wim

Don't forget to fill up the tank on the Moderator's Ferrari when you bring it back. I'm getting better performance with Iroshizuku, YMMV :bunny01: :bunny01: :bunny01:

      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
