Hello everyone. I'm from England and rather into pens and the suchlike. I've got a blog which I've been writing on since August - I don't know if I'm supposed to link to it here so I won't, just in case! I'm quite proud of how it's coming along though.

I have no idea how many pens I have, which according to my partner means I have a problem. My favourites (at the moment) would have to be: Platinum 3776 Sai (fine nib), Faber-Castell e-motion (medium nib) and Faber-Castell Ambition (extra-fine nib). Oh and my faithful Kaweco Class Sport (EF nib but not very EF if you ask me).

If I have any greater problem than my pen obsession it's probably with inks. I've got a lot of Diamine inks because they're wonderful and they're affordable but also very much like Organics Studio and Pelikan Edelstein. For Christmas I got my first bottle of Iroshizuku ink (kiri-same) and I love it so much...

Welcome!

The way I see it, you don't have a problem, you have enough pens to choose from! :)

Kind regards,

Jos

Hello and welcome from sunny Surrey.

I wouldn't worry about keeping tabs on the number of pens you have. Whenever you think you've done it you open a drawer and another one pops up.

What's the blog about?

I think you're right! It's about pens, paper and pencils. And ink. Lots of ink...

Welcome, welcome.

One can never have too many pens or ink.

Welcome to the world of pens and paper/ink/vintage blotters/letter openers/wax seals and then there's notebooks...

Dear Bananamoon,

Oh, you seem to be the perfect person for this place. Welcome to the Fountain Pen Geeks forums! Smaller than the largest pen fora, larger than some, you'll find a comfortable community of pen-centric people here, with a growing body of posts, reviews, and group knowledge. Mostly, you'll find people who are enthusiastic about fountain pens, and fountain pen people.

Join in!
