Wow!

 

Congratulations to Salman, hlyuqi, and everyone who submitted their amazing work to this thread/contest! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

 

Every bit of this contest was so much fun. Checking the thread a billion times a day for new entries to drool over, thinking up new ideas and concepts, sifting through the many verse variations to find the best one for a particular entry, and of course having another excuse to play with my pens and ink! :happyberet: Such a great experience! I can't thank Pendleton enough for his generosity, and for putting this whole thing together! Talk about an inspiring thread. I'm very glad I have never had to judge a contest like this. I cant imagine how hard that must have been. Thank you so much judges!

 

I look forward to posting a version of the verse written with my new toy B)

Kind of late but congrats to swavey, SMK, and hlyuqi! And thank you to all the judges (Pendleton especially!). It's been fun looking over all the entries and participating myself. It's great to see all the talent here on FPN.

OK, well this would have been my effort if I saw this earlier;

I have great handwriting...i often get compliments.

 

But my handwriting is no where near the beauty of what I have seen here.

 

I need to take some lessons. You folks are great...and an encouragement.

 

Thanks

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
