HI all! I am about to reach a 500 sub milestone on my YouTube channel, and I am wondering what I should do to celebrate. Last time, when I reached 100, I gave away four Jinhao 599s and some limited edition Ink.

 

This time I would like to have multiple winners, but my budget is also kind of limited. I was kind of thinking about giving away one of the limited 2015 Lamy Safari Lime Greens, or the New Jinhao 159s. What do you guys think? Are there any staples you guys would like to see in a giveaway?

 

Should I even do a giveaway at all? Are there any sort of community run pen-related events that you guys can think of or have participated in before? I do like giveaways, but I would also like to try and have more community engagement with this event.

 

Thanks in advance for your ideas!

I think most people will be grateful for whatever giveaway you decide to run. My personal thoughts on the options, FWIW: I'd probably enter for a Lamy Safari if it were in a color I liked, because I have no Lamy pens, but that lime green color is really hard for me to like. I might enter for a Jinhao 159, but I already have two 250s so I'd have to think about it. Stationary and ink samples might be nice, though I'm not too much into trying various papers. Bottled ink seems like it would be popular; I've never used it before, so I might go for that assuming I liked the color. A few samples of bottled ink seems like a good idea, because it gives people a little variety; if I liked the colors, I'd probably enter, since it would give me a nice way to get started with trying bottled ink. Since others have suggested that I try using bottled ink, the ink sampler might be my preferred choice, but again, anything would be appreciated. I hope this is of some help.

Thanks very much for your input! I think I might do some combination of everything and do a bit of a hosted ink swap with a group of people. I might include some Jinhao 599's in the packages as well.

You have some lovely stationery in the US that many people in other parts of the world can't get. So I think that would be a good idea as a PIF.

 

I managed to try a couple of sheets of Neenah paper this way, that I wouldn't have been able to try otherwise.

Stationery would be especially nice! It'd be quite nice yo try out different papers and matching envelopes.

"Science fiction is an existential metaphor, that allows us to tell stories about the human condition. Isaac Asimov once said: 'Individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinder critics and philosophers of today but the core of science fiction, its essence has become crucial to our salvation, if we are to be saved at all."

Do anything but not the giveaway.

Surely you would someone happy with a bottle of ink. One you don't use. Or, one you consider is underestimated.

I'm kinda in this mind. If you scheduled a livestream or something, that could be pretty fun. I've never seen your channel before today, but I watched a few videos and I like your style, I'd definitely participate if I knew when.

      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
