Lots of pens inked. I'm afraid to count. Right now I'm in love with cheep Chinese Clicky pens. Some have no name but I also have a set of Luoshi, a couple Mura, and Cobee.

@Edema Rue… Better handwriting? Work on simple letter forms. Keep enough breathing space between letters and words. Keep slant consistent. This from someone who got trapped after school to 'force' me to write legibly. I do now, no thanks to the school. Not at all scratchy! Just so soft and so fine it's a delicate operation. It hasn't been de-inked since I bought it.

I have a Platinum SF which needs such a light touch I almost can't handle it.

That's a shame. I'm thinking plants, though… I have a number of WS piston (and other) pens with the Pilot-look nibs. None are scratchy.

I think there was some Bank paper in a Jetpens paper sampler…don't they warn it's not intended for fountain pens? Tried it anyway.

It seems that I forgot to mention buying the InkVent 2022 Edition (last year's model, discounted, fleabay). Opening each little 'door' and testing each ink daily was fun.

Yyesssss….I did get that brass dip nib, and it is the Swiss Army knife of nibs. Though I decided that it's too good for glitter ink. Still waiting for my FONT SIZE to return.

The selection for font size disappeared, then appeared, now is gone again.

Woe is me: I have my eye on a $50-60 brass DIP nib. I don't even spend that much on a complete fountain pen these days. It goes from hairline to paintbrush, and I will use the nib for writing with glitter inks.

In other fountain pen, writing-related news, I did NOT finish NaNo…but eons ago, on a typewriter, I wrote a Three Day Novel. It came out about like you'd expect.

A. It is no longer being made. B. My Sinister nature precludes the use of slow-drying paper. C. WHAT happened to my beloved font size selection?

I'm almost happy I can't really use it!

Thanks. I asked because I wanted an ink for sketching, with a watercolor wash. Oh, well… I do have Evil Green Gator.

Nice array. Is the Bad Belted Kingfisher waterproof?

I'm glad I got some Cosmo when it was still selling. Pens and inks of the month? That's tough. I'm going to need a Christmas red and green. The green with probably be Monteverde Yosemite, and a Monteverde red to go along. Both will be in TWSBIs so I can see how much ink's in fhere. I don't know about other favorites at the moment. Heyyyy. The font size disappeared, popped up again, and now disappeared. Thanks for keeping the thread alive!
