    Default Mystery Ink #18

    It's the 23rd and time for the next mystery ink to get started!

    As with any mystery ink it is open to FPG veterans, n00bs, newbies, and lurkers. You volunteer, I pick names, I send free ink, you write with it and post your thoughts and observations. Guessing is welcome, but not required. There is nothing to "win" aside from perhaps personal satisfaction that you recognized it. No guess is confirmed until the mystery ink is finally revealed. The point of the mystery ink threads is an unbiased review. Fear not about the quality of your handwriting or sketching abilities. We don't care. We are all appreciative of those with the gift of artistic ability, but how well you draw or write doesn't impact your ability to test an ink and provide your opinion on it.

    As always, international participants are welcome, but due to shipping costs can expect to receive 3 or 4 samples and find themselves automatically nominated for the next few rounds of mystery inks.

    For this round I already have 3 entrants (international participants from previous rounds). I think I have enough ink for another 5 participants. If you're interested go ahead and toss your name into the "hat" for this round and I'll draw names when it comes time to pick the review group and ship inks.

    Count me in as a potential contestant. However, I will bow to newbies who've not had the opportunity yet.

    We're all secretly thinking gimme gimme and hoping to be included in the hat 🤣 but it's so much fun that we also want others to enjoy too because we're nice like that.

    I'm in as a captive participant from #16 and #17.

    Already have this one loaded up and really, really loving it. I am hoping it is not an unobtanium ink because I think I would like to plunk for a bottle of this little beauty.

    Awww! I'm still using up the dregs of MI#17 in my two tester pens. I've only got as far as swilling MI#18 in the vial, and holding it up to the light. I am certainly looking forward to trying it out.

    Well, after the last 3 posts I'm tempted to go with the "gimme gimme gimme" brigade.
    Need a good reason? I can have US shipping for this MI.

    Yes. I know. I'm actually bottling up samples for you right now.

    Wait, did I give you MI #18? I thought I sent 19, 20, and 22 along with the pen.
