Pay It Forward 2013

[AndyLa]

Thanks to the recent kindness of a FPN member, I've decided to do my part and pif some unused pens. I have 4 hero 616 pens. I'd like for them to go to one person, but may be willing to split them. If I can find some empty vials I will also include some ink samples.

Criteria:

Since I am a broke grad student, I'd like to see these go to a fellow graduate student. PM me your current university/college, what program you are in, how far along, and a little bit about yourself (this could include favorite pen, ink, hobbies...). If I do not get entries I will open it up to everyone.

Drawing will end Sunday at 11:59 pm eastern time.

Winner and runner up have been notified!

I have only recently returned to writing with fountain pens and this site has been such a wealth of information. I am truly grateful. I'm doing a giveaway on a fountain pen wrap on my blog and wanted to make sure that the FPN people know about it.

 

 

 

To enter, leave a comment on the giveaway entry on my blog before nine o'clock pm (mountain standard time) this coming Friday. I'm willing to ship international.

 

The blog entry is: http://terriesandelin.blogspot.com/2013/06/fountain-pen-wrap-giveaway.html

 

Thanks again to everyone for all your help,

 

Terrie

Thank you to DanielCoffey for the Diamine ink! Now I get to try out this brand. These are some wonderful colors and I am most thankful for them. Now with these three, I have six inks! I would like to do a writing sample, but nobody hold their breath on it. haha God bless and thank you Daniel.

Since I had only two takers for the mystery PiF, I've decided to honor both. sethk and mmkoenecke, please email me your mailing address, and I will send each of you one of these school pens to play with. I do hope you will let me know how they work out for you. And if you fix their hardstartsomeness, I claim the right to know how...

 

Anyhow, thanks for playing, and enjoy!

Thanks! I sent you an email as soon as you originally posted. I'm sending you a PM now as well.

In the spirit of paying it forward, I am going to PIF with two 20ml vials of Akkerman Ink, as pictured below:

 

The two inks aforementioned are Akkerman Shocking Blue (#5) and Voorhout Violet (#15).

 

I will open this PIF to everybody, worldwide. To be in the running, simply send me a PM stating your ink preference; also, tell me which would be the first pen you'd ink it up with, and why.

 

I will put the entries into my trusty top hat and pick two winners on Saturday, June 7th.

...aaaannd entries are closed! Stay tuned while I sort out the entries and pick the winners.
