Round Robin Letter #2


MissChief

Recommended Posts

For anyone who has expressed an interest in forming another Round Robin Letter, here's where to sign up.



A round-robin letter is one that circulates within a family or small group. Each person writes his/her contribution and forwards to the next on the list. The second person adds a page and forwards both pages to the third person. The third person adds a page and forwards all three, etc.


When the envelope comes back to the first person, his/her original page is removed and replaced with a new one. The cycle continues.



These are the parameters:



SIX 8.5 x 11 inch pages of 20# paper plus one cheap lightweight envelope weighs one ounce. Therefore participation is limited to 6 people. (Anybody can set up round-robin letter 3, etc.)



Each person may write only one page and must use 20# paper or lighter, but may write on the back of the alloted page.



Letters must be forwarded within 3 days. If that's not possible for any reason, just mail the bundle and catch the next round. No bogging or hogging the letter.



Letters may be international, so members must be willing to pay international postage for a full ounce.



Remember that if you use heavier paper, you force everyone to pay for an extra ounce of postage, which becomes expensive for every other member of the group.



If more than 6 people want to try a round-robin letter, I would encourage someone else to jump in and start a third.

Yay!! We're up to 4 members. If you would all be so kind as to PM me your addresses, I'll get started on the flight list. Flyingfox, it's a pleasure! Once we have our 6 members, I'll set up a private thread to keep track of its comings and goings.

One more person and we're a go! Interestingly, so far there are 3 from the East Coast and 2 from the West Coast... any West Coasters interested??

Thanks Madden!! I now have all the addresses and will get the flight sheet set up and printed, as well as writing up my intro letter.

      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
