Hey all, my name's Atticus (or Atti for short), and if you couldn't tell, I'm a newbie here.

I've been interested in the hobby of fountain pens for just under two years now, and this is the first real forum I've joined since then. I am a 20 year-old history major attending Valparaiso University, and my interests other than pens include antiques, video games, and the occasional bout of reading. My current repertoire of pens is a Pilot Metropolitan in M (my first pen and everyday carry), a Moonman M2 in XF, a Lamy Safari in M, some assorted cheap Jinhaos for various purposes, an early- to mid-1920's Conklin Endura, and a mid-1940s Sheaffer Craftsman with a gold nib.

I hope to meet some wonderful people here and learn more about the hobby through this forum! Much love, everyone.
