Ink Reviews: Orange, Apricot Orange, Quick Lime by Bluesea[_3_]
Conway Stewart Orange: It looks reddish in the bottle, but is plainly orange juice on paper. The resemblance is so remarkable that I wanted some juice to make sure. (I don't keep OJ on hand.) Fortunately, a TV commercial for OJ made from Valencia oranges played and I verified that it, indeed, is...

how to use ink refill? by Tiro Verus
Trying to learn how to use a fountain pen. Got one from eBay. The vendor sent 5 refills, but there wasn't one in the pen itself. There's a little plunger thing in the pen, in a little cylinder. I'd buy one from someone in Real Life (tm) but haven't seen anything remotely affordable. Any...

Fountain Pen Network Moderator Guidelines! by The Drunken Lord[_2_]
You know, I feel sorry for those dip**** FPN moderators who have to read all the posts on FPN. There are three or so moderators on each forum who have to--or are supposed to--read all of the stupid and meaningless comments posted on FPN. That makes up about 98% of what is posted on FPN. Here are...

The New FPN Ink! by The Drunken Lord[_2_]
The ugliest inks I have are the FPN Galileo and the FPN Dumas--the FPN Dumas should be called "FPN Dumbass" as the horrid color was selected by the dumbasses of FPN, with the FPN moderators and administrators have a little more say than the average FPN dumbasses. I am surprised Nathan Tardif would...

Two More Baystate Colors! by The Drunken Lord[_2_]
I went to FPN today and learned that Nathan Tardif has mixed up two more Baystate colors. Some kind of cranberry--a red--and a purple. I think these are supposed to be as vibrant as the blue, HOWEVER, the red is NOT waterproof, which is a bummer. But the thing is, even if the blue were not...

funny leaky fountain pen story by MatthewK
I work at an IT Center Helpdesk on my campus and a coworker stole a converted platinum preppy pen to annoy me. She unscrewed it, and had blue fingers for two days. :) It was filled with diamine registrars ink and I only lost a few drops of ink....it was so worth it. BTW, I've never had any...

Specs: Length capped: 5-1/8 inches Length uncapped: 4-11/16 inches Length posted: 5-7/8 inches Diameter: 3/8 inch Weight: 0.3 oz. I bought this because I want to write in lime green ink and because I wanted to see what a pen that lets you write on a grain of rice is like.

FPN Idiot of the Day: SamCapote! by The Drunken Lord
from the FPN idiot of the day: I love the Baystate Blue color, but I would NEVER have dreamed that any ink would permanently stain a plastic used in a fountain pen. As a relative novice in this hobby, I could have used dark color pen if I had been warned. I don't know if all inks stain plastics...

Fountain Pens. What's the attraction? by The Visitor[_2_]
Okay guys, I'm curious if anybody will share their reason for liking fountain pens. I like them because they take me back to what I feel were better times. It's real writing. Seems more cultured perhaps. I got wondering about this because I read this newspaper article about people still...

Another FPN Idiot! (or microwaving ink!) by The Drunken Lord
Here's the post: begin quote Instead of using an ink additive, e.g. SterilInk, I have been pondering the possibility of putting my ink in the microwave and nuking it in order to kill off any microorganisms that may be growing in it. (i.e. oomycetes, mildew, algae...) end...

Pelikan Fountain Pens by Sonny
First of all, I am not a fountain pen expert. I have a few pens that are supposed to be worth collecting. But I own mostly new pens that I have purchased over the past five or six years. So my comments are my opinion only. My first fountain pen was a gift from my mom. She received it in...

FPN Retard of the Day! by The Drunken Lord
SamCapote wins the retard of the day award, and in the coming months, this guy is gonna be hard to top, even though idiots run freely and rampantly on FPN. We have seen how Sam "permanently" stained his bathroom sink and then scrubbed the sink clean before his wife got home, removing...
