My Lamy 2000 fountain pen has a sharp, precise nib that complements my tiny printing. It often runs out of ink because I use it so much.
Today I found out that one of my stories has been accepted for publication. To say I am thrilled is too vast an understatement. When it happens next month, I will post a link to it. Until then, I’ll just be over here not jinxing anything …
Yesterday I saw a “LOST: FOUNTAIN PEN. $500 REWARD” poster on a pole here in downtown SF. I thought, “Yeah, I can dig it.”

If I owned a $500 fountain pen, I could dig it. But I doubt I’d ever take a $500 fountain pen out of the house.

Major, non-jinxing congratulations on the story! I’m looking forward to seeing the link.
I used to get fountain pen catalogs that were filled with excessively expensive pens. It seems to me that overall fountain pen technology hasn’t drastically improved over the past decades to warrant that sort of price. Instead, they’re being sold as collector’s items, which goes so against what they should be used for that they leave me more annoyed than anything.
As long as I can have my extra-fine nib, I don’t care cheap the pen is.

I’m with you on all of that, except for the XF part. (Flexi-fine is my favourite.)
