I've always wanted to do something like this, and since I've been lucky enough to have a bottle of each, figured I'd share. I'll be giving away 5mL samples of each ink to one lucky Canuck. To enter, let me know the top 3 things in your bucket list.

 

Deadline is June 19th, 23:59 PDT. I'm keeping this within Canada because of shipping costs.

This is so nice of you!

1. Get my novel series completed and published and meet Gene Wolfe, Patrick Rothfuss and Neil Gaiman

2. Travel the world, learn from the gypsies in Spain to play real flamenco

3. Settle down and buy a homestead with my future wife and children, read and play to my great grand children

 

Not sure if I did this right, but it is my best attempt at a bucket list. Too many things I feel I need to do!

Yo that is WAY generous 10/10

 

My top three are as follows:

 

1. Buy a HIGH high end bassoon (Heckel or Moosman or the like, one of the ones that costs more than a new car)

 

2. Get married

 

3. Travel to Iceland! And eastern Europe. I've always wanted to see Iceland, odd a choice as it may be, and a Church Tour of eastern Europe would be so much fun!

Not an entry, but ditto the generosity of your thoughtful gift.

 

Just across the border, and yes the postage issue!

 

Always enjoyable when our Canadian friends visit US pen shows.

Hope to visit a Canadian pen meet or show someday.

 

Some day, I want to go to Scriptus Toronto, but it's on the other side of the country, so might have to wait :mellow:

Awesome PIF!

 

At 16 years old, I haven't really planned out my bucket list yet but you've inspired me to start it.

My top three so far are:

 

  1. Build and move into my own tiny home
  2. Summit the highest point in every province
  3. Learn to wing suit fly

Really cool to see another BC'er here :)

Sounds great! What genre will your novel series be? I'm guessing sci-fi or fantasy? Someday, I would like to go around the entire country. I missed out on the VIA Rail deal, unfortunately.

I can see why you'd want to go to Iceland - it looks straight out of a fantasy movie! Iceland is also on "my countries to visit" list. I've got a couple of co-workers who went there and really enjoyed it. Both did find it really pricey though.

 

Awesome PIF!

Nice to see others younger than me in the hobby (I turn 24 this September) :lol: . It's cool that you want to build your own home! I'm not much of a hiker or mountain climber, but I'm betting the views will be worth the trip. That last one sounds scary-exciting.

You guessed right! It deals with both genres in the span of books. Spain? Yeah, it is amazing for traveling, I walked the Camino de Santiago with my grandfather several years ago, I hope to walk it with him one more time.

When you do publish it, do let us know! I always need something to read!

I absolutely will! The community here is incredibly friendly and generous. I've never felt such a glowing online community, it'd be a privilege if anyone here bothered to read any of my upcoming books.

No way! I think this is the first time I've ever won a contest!

Thank you so much for your generosity :)

      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
