Ok, both grab bags gone---and my innerwebs is slowed to a crawl.

 

Thanks, Mr. C. ;-]

 

I remember one of my early 'pen pals' sending me boxes of assorted gel, fountain and ballpoint pens. It was like gettiing an early Christmas present and I wanted to pass some of that on.

Awesome gesture Sailor Kenshin! I wish I could be able to grab one of those freebies one day..

Awww! ^^

 

Maybe some day I'll be culling pens again. Meanwhile, the grab bags will be mailed by next week.

My latest ebook.   And not just for Halloween!
 

My other pen is a Montblanc.

I have full (unused) bottles of the following:

 

Montblanc Black

Visconti Black

Pilot Blue

 

I would like to give these inks to someone who is struggling financially, someone who cannot afford to buy ink (ideally someone who is unemployed or underemployed, but I am willing to entertain poor and wretched students as well). I know these colors are not very exciting so I will throw in a few surprises to cheer things up a bit. Limited to United States addresses in order to keep the cost of shipping down. Please PM me stating that you are in inky need, and a nice package will appear in your mailbox

 

Edit: All claimed.

I have a Pilot Plumix with a Medium Italic nib. This is gray translucent in color. It takes Pilot cartridges. I don't know if converters would work or not. I will ship for free to contintental US. I have some extra Pilot blue and blue/black cartridges and will include one of each on request.

 

First PM from someone who hasn't tried Italic nibs before gets the pen and the cartridges if you want them.

 

 

 

UPDATE:

 

Wow. I step away from the computer for a couple minutes to do laundry and I get 4 replies. First one was from xeth3r41x.

This will be fun...

 

I have a new black/platinum Mont Blanc Generation Fountain Pen that has been inked once and used once.

 

Here's a (borrowed) picture...

http://www.penboutique.com/images/product/large/4753_1_.jpg

 

Here's the deal: this pen will not be for you, but for someone you think deserves it. Write a little and tell me who will receive it (no names, please) and why. PMs only please.

 

I will be looking for responses until the end of November, so I can review and then get this pen shipped off to the generous winner!

An interesting twist to the PIF process; I like it! :-)

 

How far are you willing to ship?

Good question... worldwide would be right I think...

Just a reminder that all PMs will be deleted on November 27.

Yup! That's why I'm glad PMs get copied to my email... shouldn't lose anything, but this is a computer system we're talking about here!

I have a dear FPNer friend South of me (let's call her Florence Nightingangel) who along with me are very thankful for FPN.

We'd like to spread the joy a bit here especially to those just either getting into or back into fountain pens. She has graciously donated the pens and I'll handle the handing them out part.

 

So, here's the pen (pic snarfled from Fleabay but they look just like this). There are 3 of them, 1 per "winning" entrant. All are still stickered and appear new or uber-lightly used. Piston fill with approx. Fine nibs. I have personally cycled each piston and each does take up water and dipped tested each nib. They all write fine so far as I can tell. The nibs actually do have a big of spring to them with just a hair of actual line variation with some effort. Pens ARE a tad on the thinner side.

 

http://lh6.ggpht.com/_XB-IYvzxVyY/SwvaVCgCeII/AAAAAAAAA4o/nfcOzKbqdIA/s800/reform1745.jpg

 

Now, "The Deal".

 

This is meant to be a "spread the joy to the nOObs" deal. Therefore, 1st preference will go to posters with around 50 (or so) posts AND who own *No More than* 2, TWO usuable fountain pens now. (Exceptions more likely made for higher post counts before higher pen counts) Preference will be given to posters with the lowest post/pen counts. Have someone you think might like to try a fountain pen? Have them sign on here and send there first post to this thread, that would likely move them to the head of the class.

 

We'll let this run until tomorrow, Wednesday at 12 noon, Eastern time.

 

Send me a PM with how many pens you have and maybe a few lines that might make you stand out from the others. The only thing else requested from those getting a pen is a short note written with it, co-addressed to myself and Florence Nightingangel to show that you are using your new pen. One of the three pens seems to flow somewhat wetter than the other two. Please mention if you'd prefer the usual or wetter pen. (no promises...first come, first served, blah, blah...) PS Preference given also, (sorry, for postage reasons...) to US based members...<barring a very heartwarming story exception...>

 

Happy Thanksgiving FPN!

 

Bruce in Ocala, FL and Florence Nightingangel
