Fountain pen share chain PIF

[pica pica]

Hi, I love giving and receiving pens and I guess many others do as well. The idea behind this pif is to send a pen to another pen-loving person just to share and for fun without expectations or regret. The person who receives the pen is expected to send another (or the same) pen to the next randomly selected person, and so on.

Simple guidance

* Pen can be used, old or new, but always in good working condition.
* Person who receives the pen should be ready to send one anywhere in the world.
* No blame or regret if the chain is broken or if the pen does not meet the expectations one may have.
* No negative comments on the pen received or its sender.
* If the chain is broken anyone can restart it; but please let me know by PM if someone didn't receive one.
* I think it's much nicer to receive a pen one somehow liked rather than a poor writer someone wanted to get rid of.

The first pen is a light green piston filler (unbranded). It's a lovely writer in really good condition with a F/M steel nib. I will include everything I know about it in the letter when sending the parcel.

Is anyone interested? I'll send the pen to a randomly selected person on Thursday. The deadline is Thursday 19 Feb at 0600 GMT.

This sounds like really awesome PIF. If more people participate, I would be more than happy to join in.

Is this like a pass it on? Do you pass on the pen that you received or do you send another pen and keep the pen you were sent?

It's up to you if you want to keep the pen or send one that you might want to share.

If I'm understanding correctly, you pass a pen forward...could be either the pen you received or another pen. If that's correct, I'd like to join in.

[pica pica]

Yes, like TerraNoir and butchhe said, you can either keep the pen and send another one or pass the same pen forward.

And thank you all for joining!

I've got a few pens and a few other related pieces I was planning on offering in a few weeks so I would be up for it too.

Hi, I'm terribly sorry for delay. I had a sort of bad time. Anyway, according to my randomise.org crystal ball the pen goes to ejaycock.

Thank you all for participating!

[ejaycock]

Thank you, hope all is well and going better. Phonelady61 do you want to send me your contact details and I will send something along to you?

[pica pica]

Thanks ejaycock! I hope you will enjoy the pen.

Ejaycock asked me if the next person should be the one from the list. I think it's alright, although I was rather thinking that the person who receives a pen opens a new pif and sends a pen to another randomly picked person. But for now, we can follow the order of people on the list above and see how it goes.

[sparkinflint]

so i suppose i will be sending to top pen?
Should i wait until mtnbiker sends his pen or am i able to send it right off the bat?

[pica pica]

I'd say it's better to wait until you receive the pen. It's getting messy, isn't it.
