Looks lovely! I enjoyed looking at the writing sample. Your ink really helps show off the line variation. I like how the loops in your b, h, and l letters look!
Thank you for voting, all! In the results, x = 1 vote, if someone voted for two different ones I took their first choice/the one they were leaning towards.
Where I can, of course. Right now I’ve got Tsutsuji in a Safari and Party Time in an Al Star. The rest are random combinations. I’ve yet to find a pen I like that plays well with Hana Ikada, or Pink Sugar Beach.
Another vote for Midori and Rhodia. I’m looking for the spiral version of the Midori, in the meantime my daily driver is a sidebound Rhodia spiral. It just works, any ink, any pen.
Was there any value to the “post in the thread before purchase to help reduce scammers?“
You were supposed to post in the thread in order to prove that you weren't banned from the subreddit. I know the ban list got fairly long over on watchexchange, so I assume it was preventing at least some scams. I think the same thing would work here. But IMO the most trustworthy buying and selling subs were the ones that had some kind of "verified purchases" bot, where the buyer and seller would tell the bot about the transaction and then it would add to your transaction count. That would be a great thing to have.
Pen_Swap is probably the only thing that could occasionally pull me back to Reddit. I think I’ve bought 1 $30 pen in my collection from Amazon. The rest were from the community. I’ve got several I need to release back into the wild from my collection, I’m having difficulty which ones to select. What I want keeps changing, but a smooth buttery nib is amazing no matter what.
We should be the change we want to see in the world, but first, I must caffeinate….
