During Mystery Ink #14 or #15 I mentioned that one of the MI's is an iron gall ink. Most of you indicated wanting to know in advance so you could choose not to participate if IG inks worry you. This is your notice. Newer IG inks (which this is) are supposed to be much more friendly, but I don't want to force anyone to use an ink which they aren't comfortable putting into their pens.
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 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 the next 3 mystery inks and find themselves automatically nominated for the next few rounds.
