Pay It Forward 2013

[Cyber6]

 

Very little interest so far.

 

That only means people in the UK have large collections .. and can afford a Pilot Prera..

[alc3261]

Another PIF - for those who would like a Fine Nib!!

Parker - Frontier: Translucent Blue CT Fountain-Pen, Chrome Trims, Steel Fine Nib.

 

 

Usual rules - No previous Winners (unless applying for someone else), those with only 1-2 pens preferred.

PM me with Age, Location and Why you would like this pen.

Good Luck!!

There are (relatively) many fewer FPN members in the UK.

I'm hoping that this image has uploaded, I have used the upload button for the first time. My daughter has recently benefited from the generosity of members on his board and I would like to offer another PIF. Hopefully this should be a picture of a pale blue Pilot Prera with a fine nib.

Here are the rules.....

 

1. Unfortunately only on offer to UK members, these pens are fairly expensive in the UK in comparison and would like to give someone who couldn't really afford one the opportunity to own one.

2. PM your name and your reason for wanting to be entered into the draw

3. Priority will be given to those without a large collection of FP's, if you could afford to buy one please don't apply.

4. I will draw a winner on Wednesday evening.

5. Finally in honour of my upcoming trip to Disney tell me your favourite Disney character, upon my return I will endeavour to post a photo of the most popular character using a FP.

 

I will send an ink sample of your choice from my current collection. This is listed in a post I made recently to the British ink sample exchange thread in inky thoughts.

 

Best of luck. X

I am relaxing the rules. This is now open to send anywhere.

still remains if you can afford it don't apply for yourself.

So PM me,where you are and your favourite Disney character. Will draw Wednesday evening UK time.

[alc3261]

Check out my 2 PIFs running at the moment - a Parker IM in Brushed Steel, medium nib and a Parker Frontier Blue, fine nib.

Both brand new and available to someone fairly new to fountain pens ( with only 1-2 pens so far).

Firstly, let me apologize for not posting this earlier. The package arrived from somethingcreative arrived a week ago, but I was able to open it only now since I am travelling and do not have access to a computer. Also, I do not have a scanner so please excuse the poor quality cellfone picture.

 

Thank you sir for being so generous. I promise I will make full use of it.

 

 

 

Thanks and regards,

Oh heck yeah, I'm in now! PM sent.

PMs sent to Pensandinks and Alc3261.

 

I'm looking to adopt a new friend who needs a good home, there's room in my life since my last 3 buddies were taken back to the 'Pen Store In The Sky' much too early.

 

I promise to feed and pet it everyday...and name it 'Mojo'.

 

You folks are molto generoso, mille grazie!!

New PIF Parker Vector FP and BP "Boy" Set.

Nice pale blue Vector set with an outline male image suitable for a boy/teenager.

No previous winners, members can apply on behalf of others. Schoolchild/Student under 20.

I will post worldwide.

Please PM me with your location and reasons why you (or the person you put forward) would qualify.

Thank you for your interest.

Not had much interest for this so far, anyone else want to apply?

Suitable for a young boy/man.

 

So the winner is:- FaZe_Intervene Please PM me your address.

WOW! Thank you so much alc! I just received the pens in the mail and inked the fountain pen up and it writes MARVELOUSLY. It is very smooth. I also really like the ballpoint. It will come in handy when I'm doing something where a fountain pen is impractical. I really appreciated the handwritten note :-). Thank you SO much!

AWESOME ... :clap1:

 

 

I still won't apply since I got an awesome PIF not long ago.

 

 

The best rule... is alc3261's rule "No previous winners" .. Is awesome to share FP love, everyone should have a chance.

Happy Birthday to you too...

 

 

Mine is Tuesday March 12 !!!!! :clap1:

It's the Weekend so we might as well have a New PIF!!

Brushed Chrome Parker IM (Metal Body) Medium Nib.

Nice Pen!!

 

 

I want to give a nice pen to someone who only has 1 or 2 other pens.

No previous PIF winners (unless applying for someone else).

This would suit anyone from 14 upwards I would say.

 

I'm going to make this slightly harder - PM me with the reasons why you feel this pen is for you!!

No entries so far, is nobody interested?

 

 

Thanks for the pen!!! I came home from work to find it sitting on my bed. Hehehe I'm still keeping my eye out for the other one. ^_^

[subramaniyam]

Very nice work there subramaniyamr! What lettering style is that?

 

Thank you Harlequin!! The first one is Unical and the second one is supposed to be Blackletter. This is my first attempt at proper calligraphy so there is a LOT of scope for improvement!!! -)

Wow. I'm stunned by the awesomeness of your writing. Glad they're in a good home now.

 

I am glad I was the recipient of your generosity. I will ensure I send you something from my calligraphic pursuits once I reach home (Still on the move) :-).

 

Thanks and regards,

OK girls and boys... this is my PIF for March !! (Did I skip February???) :blink:

 

 

Today is MY BIRTHDAY!!!... And what do you do on your B-Day?? You come over the PIF thread and give something away... (alc3261 taught me that.. )

 

 

So here it is... You get:

 

1. Brand New French FP (no name) - Sent to me by my french buddy, he knows what I like..

2. Brand New Pen wrap - Inexpensive, but good enough to keep your pens safe and sound in your backpack

3. Brand New Hardcover Notebook - Great quality with easy tear pages

 

 

Now the pen. My buddy sent me a few and this one is brand new never inked. It is a CC and the one I am currently using is AMAZING. The ink flow was great from the beginning, but the nib was a little scratchy. I solved that by normal smoothing techniques.

 

The pen I will be sending you, I feel is a little scratchy and I will try my best to smooth it.. but I don't know your personal angle of writing and you might find it scratchy anyway. So, be warned.

 

Once you get it smooth, this pen lays down a very WET medium line. The other thing I love about this pen, is the weight. It weighs 32g and for me anything above 30g has a "solid" feel.

 

There is a little "Paris" logo on the side (I didn't photograph it).. that will remind you this is not... you know, the "other" one.. :ltcapd:

 

 

 

 

Look at that gorgeous nib...

 

 

 

Yeah.. yeah.. I know, it doesn't have the Snowflake on the cap...

 

 

 

Rules..

 

1. No previous winners..

2. Small FP collection (less than 10).. I don't think you can carry more than 8 FPs on the wrap

3. Member since at least January

4. Open worldwide.

5. Open until Sunday March 17 !!

 

Good Luck everyone!!!
