The winning entry:

 

"An Edgar Allan Poe story that would make a great movie is 'King Pest', because it's your classic tale of ghouls and ghosts set in plague-ridden London, with a little comic relief thrown in; perfect Hollywood fodder. It should star Uma Thurman as The Arch Duchess Ana-Pest."

Thanks for the participation!

 

 

Thank you kindly, Loren. I'm looking forward to filling it up with tales of horror and suspense (ie. my daily journal).

 

Btw, a few years ago I drew an adaption of King Pest for an excellent series of books called Graphic Classics (illustrated classic authors). Here's the title page:

If you are interested in reading the rest, just go to: http://www.antonemdin.com/images/portfolio/king_pest_01.jpg and change the number at the end sequentially until you hit 17. Sorry it has no navigation.

 

Thanks again to Loren, and FPN!

 

 

Cheers,

Anton

Not only does the man have a sensible taste in nibs, but he's an artist to boot!

 

Seriously impressed Anton!

I have a bottle of Noodlers Highland Heather that I received from another member whose anonimity I shall maintain for fear of reprisals.....

 

If any UK or EU member would like that unique experience of aghastness (aghastment? aghastivity? - heck, you know what I mean!) on opening a bottle of ink, it's available to the member who gives me the most entertaining explanation of the food you would have to eat to excess followed by a skinful to produce such an awesomely hued 'huey'....... It's nearly full. (I wonder why? )

Thanks Ayse! Your avatar has got me thinking I want to dust off my VHS copy of Rock 'n' Roll High School. He he... I love that film. They are such bad actors.

It's really hard to know how to produce something hued like that. I haven't been experimenting much but raspberries with a small amount of blueberries served with a tuna or other kind of fish should give the results I would be satisfied with.

 

Simon

[Aysedasi]

Yep, that sounds pretty close Simon......

[tawanda]

I reckon a beetroot and blackberry sandwich with a side of pickled red cabbage would do it (and, no, I don't want it back, Ayse!)

[Aysedasi]

Come on, there must be someone willing to give it a try? It goes down the sink so I can reuse the bottle otherwise......

I'm not in the UK or EU, but I'd have to say oatmeal with blueberry moonshine might produce yack that color...

 

Ew.

[Chthulhu]

I'd love it, but I'm in the wrong hemisphere ...

[Cthulhu]

As am I.

[David V]

Me too, but that looks almost exactly like what you get when you give your kids too many blueberries...

Recently I have been the grateful recipient of some unbridled kindness of the paper variety from a fellow FPNer (He knows who he is> Thanks again) and I would now like to share the love, so to speak.

 

I would like to give two nice vintage English pens, both users not collectors'items, to the first two FPNers who PM me and exhibit the following traits:

 

1. Date joined FPN of 1 July 2009 or later; and

2. Twenty or less posts; and

3. Convinces me that they own no other vintage pens;and

4. They solemnly affirm or swear that they will write a return "snail" with the pen they receive.

 

I would like someone new to experience English made vintage pens for the first time.

 

First pen is a nice Conway Stewart Dandy No 720 in blue marbled pattern including a stubbish oblique nib. Its sacced and ready to roll.(Yes it cost me a bagful but read above - I want to share the love,not clean out my garbage drawer)

 

Second pen is a "No Name" English pen in a similar pattern that looks about Wartime vintage. Maybe celluloid with a very flexy Warranted 14kt nib. Currently unsacced but I can fix that if someone asks me nicely.

 

I will foot the postage worldwide.

 

There may be others to follow and maybe some other fun stuff thrown into the parcel....

 

 

Thanks

A very generous offer Jim

[fountainpenfanatic]

i'll give it a go...

 

i think.... turkey with cranberry sauce,, would do the trick but washed down with a couple of bottles of whisky !!!

The "No Name" is taken by a friendly FPNer who overcame a minor non-compliance with the rules by being extremely nice.

 

So...no one want to try a vintage Conway Stewart?

I'd love to have a go at the Conway but I'm a few hundred posts over your 20 limit, have been around about 9 months too long and own an Estie and an antique dip pen. However, I am willing to write you some snail mail =P

Id love to be in on the conway. I just started a couple weeks ago. But I am over zealous with my postings and bought a some inexpensive pens already.

Always happy to have "snails" with anyone, especially a fellow Aaw-strailian. Hey aren't meant to be typing something else right now Yuki? (Heck I know I am )

 

I'll keep the Conway Stewart for a new member but if you would like to PM me an address I may be able to fix you up with something vintage and fun - no, not me.
