Snail Mail Writing List

[Cynickers]

Hello from NC!

 

I’m new and looking for a couple of pen pals to justify my growing pen and ink collection and perhaps share samples with. Do you like washi? 🤣
 

I’ve never handwritten letters to strangers, but, I’d like to try it out.

 

I’m very happy to discuss music, movies, the arts, daily life, food, photography, pets/animals (I have two cats, fish, and my pond out back is likely harboring a few hundred tadpoles), and, naturally all things FP related. I’m not terribly interested or versed in sports.

 

In my late 30s and have a intermediate grasp of German, and have recently also started studying Japanese (very, very beginner level). My husband claims I was muttering German in my sleep this morning and this made me quite proud of myself to be dreaming in another language.

Looking for lighthearted correspondences. I love laughing.

Hello there!  Your comment about dreaming in German made me laugh. When I was in High School French and dreamed in French it made me quite proud of myself too. If you are interested in corresponding (not in French!), PM me your address. I am in Colorado. 

[WhiteStarPens]

I wonder if anyone would care to correspond with me?

 

My name is Daniel, I'm a 22 year old writer and antiquarian from Great Britain.

 

My interests are many so I'll list just a few:

 

- Horology (my humble watch collection spans the last 300 years of watch making)

- Horticulture (I'm two years into bonsai)

- Literature (Lovecraft to Larkin, Wells to Wilde and many more besides)

- Classical music ( Wagner, Bruckner, R. Strauss...)

- History (too many topics to list)

 

And obviously fountain pens!

 

So if any of those have piqued your interest and you'd like to strike up a conversation, I'd love to hear from you in my PMs!

Hello everyone,

 

I am new to the forum and have only recently revisited fountain pens. Needless to say I now have way more pens, inks and paper than I "need". I tried writing some snail mail to my physical friends but they just thought of it as cute and are not interested in writing back.

 

I would like to have some people to exchange correspondence with. As a background, I am 35 years old, work in medical research, have a lovely wife and 1 year old daughter, along with a 5 year old dog who thinks he's human, and we all live in southern MN.

 

Besides my obvious hobby for pens and stationery, I like biking (not that I get to do much with a baby now), reading novels or history books, listening to history, stationery or current news podcasts while performing boring tasks such as mowing the lawn or driving, and both my wife and I enjoy cooking.

 

I would like to refrain from any political and religious talk with whomever is interested in exchanging mail with me, as these two topics are the fastest way to sour relationships. 

 

I really don't care where in the world my pen pal is located, as long as the letters I send arrive and we can communicate either in English or Spanish.

 

Send a PM if you are interested. Thank you!

 

[Belanthony2]

Hello everyone! 

 

I'm new to the forum and like everyone else here, I am looking for an excuse to use my pens more. 

 

Im Anthony, I'm 28 and I live in Australia, and I'm the gay atheist they warned you about! I am a kind and complex person who has interests in Psychology - I have 2 degrees in psychology and I'm currently writing my thesis for my 3rd.| Reading - I am an avid fan of reading. I enjoy fantasy, and dystopian novels above all others. Raymond E Feist is undoubtebly my favourite author. Although presently I am enjoying Brandon Sanderson. | People in general - I love finding out what drives an individual, what fuels them with fire! People are never more powerful than when they are discussing their passions

 

I also enjoy the theatre, ballet, opera, tea, attempting to recreate tiktok recipes, and drinking more wine than I have any business drinking. 

 

I'd love to find someone to correspond with, then I'll be having more than just eBay orders arrive in my letterbox! 

 

Send me a PM

[UnclearClare]

Hello! I'm Clare. I'm 37, I live in London. I've love a correspondent to play chess with (I dunno, it's just more fun on a postcard), someone who's just a bit better than I am (I am terrible) and maybe have a bit of a back and forth about life and culture all that good stuff. I like novels, poetry, cinema, current affairs, modern art, internet culture, falling unwisely in love and several hundred other things. Please DM me if you fancy it! 

[ASTanda]

Hi all! 

I'm also new to the forums, and am looking to get more use out of my many pens (and justify my magpie tendencies!). 
 

I'm 31 and live in Australia; I'm a secondary teacher (mainly Psychology / English / Humanities), and love to read, listen to music, complete puzzles, and learn languages (currently Arabic and Japanese). 

 

I'm a big fan of fantasy novels, as well as historical fiction and non-fiction; I'm currently re-reading some of my favourite Bernard Cornwall books, and am definitely counting the hours until school holidays start so I can read some more! I'm also generally on the quest for more knowledge, and am forever finding new things to study. I'll start my Masters in a few weeks, so hopefully that will sort me out for awhile! 

 

My husband and I had plans to move to Japan permanently last year, but that clearly has not gone to plan! Will hopefully be able to revisist that desire when things settle (fingers crossed), but in the meantime I'm kind of glad I didn't have to figure out moving the cats for a little while longer!

 

I'd love to correspond with anyone willing - it's always exciting to have something non bill-related in the mail!

Please send me a PM if you're keen!

I am so happy to see so many young people wanting to write letters.  I teach ELA in middle school, have two sight hounds from Spain, love to sew (with a machine, I can't hand sew), read a lot, and at the getting older age of 58, would love to correspond about daily life, books, music, sci fi, mystery novels, leftist politics, education, dogs, poetry, gardening, fountain pens, bikes...anything!  Any excuse to write and socialize.  Show off your inks and tell me all about your pens.

Send me a message if you would like to correspond.

Great!  I would love to correspond.  I just bought international stamps, so I am ready to write!  I watch German television shows here in the States, but I can't speak German!  Definitely add a bit of easy German, if you don't mind.

Groß! Ich würde gerne korrespondieren. Ich habe gerade internationale Briefmarken gekauft, also bin ich bereit zu schreiben! Ich schaue hier in den Staaten deutsche Fernsehsendungen, aber ich kann kein Deutsch! Fügen Sie auf jeden Fall ein bisschen leichtes Deutsch hinzu, wenn es Ihnen nichts ausmacht.

HI everyone! I'd love to chat with nature-loving and book-loving people. I plan on making some crafts as well - so creative people are especially invited.

[tringle]

Hello All,

 

I have recently returned to FPN, and back into the fountain pen collecting.  I thought writing and using my stash of pen and inks would be better served corresponding with PenPals, as I have taken an early retirement.   I have also started a bit of amateur pen repairs and learning as I go.  I am open to talking about anything from your dogs, cats, kids, favorite music, whatever comes to mind.  Also, I love to see doodles, and everyone’s handwriting is interesting to me.  If you would like to correspond please send me a message.  I am open to PenPal’s all over the world.
