Pay It Forward 2014

[coredump]

Hello guys. I got some G Lalo Vergé de France paper, the Ivory color one. I dislike the 'texture' on the paper and used like 3 or 4 pages only. If anyone wants it, just send me a PM. It's a 50 page pad and has more than 40 available.

Nothing fancy here.

 

I bought this Sustainable Earth notebook in an effort to go cheaper and be kinder to the environment (supposedly) and unfortunately, it didn't work for me. I know some folks like this sugarcane paper, however so thought I'd ask if anyone wants it before it becomes a two-year old's toy.

 

I'll toss in the translucent green Parker Vector (F) while I'm at it. I haven't used the pen in mumble-mumble years so can't say what it is like. It's a Vector. I'm sure it's smooth enough, just too small for me.

 

No magic. Just be the first in the Continental US to PM me and include:

 

-Your name

-Your mailing address.

-The reason why you are the most deserving person in the universe for these outstanding items--in fifteen words or less. Or you can just tell me you're happy to take this off my hands so it is put to good use.

snapped up! Thanks for playing!

I received Thuja's parcel today!!

 

Thuja also generously sent the pen - a Waterman Centurion - with a handwritten postcard AND a couple catridges of J. Herbin's Opera Rouge and Cultpens' Deep Dark Green.

 

I've never owned a premium fountain pen or inks - till today. I inked it up immediately with my current favourite - Chelpark Turquoise Blue - although perhaps that's too wet for this gorgeous, gorgeous pen.

 

I am stunned by how smooth this pen is! It's such a pleasure to write with. Thuja, thank you so much.

 

ps - you have interesting handwriting!

I'm not able to attach pictures right now, there's a network issue. : /

And the winners are...

 

The first name selected was someone who had requested just one of the two pens, so I decided to split the PIF offer and send one pen each to two people, rather than send both to one person.

1. The Haolilai is in the mail to daredevil22r.

​2. The Rotring Art Pen is in the mail to SleepingCat.

And I threw in some ink for each of you, too.

Enjoy!

2 pens!
Both for one newbie! (New to FPs, who only has one or two or three FPs, but who is loving the hobby and wants to try and use more.)
Who has never won a PIF before!

1. Haolilai 661A, purple. I reviewed it here: https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php/topic/263053-haolilai-661a-a-very-informal-handwritten-review/
2. Rotring Art Pen with 1.5 mm nib, just like this one: http://www.jetpens.com/Rotring-ArtPen-Calligraphy-Pen-1.5-mm/pd/6641?gclid=COHLz9Tb7sECFQwzaQodHxIAPw

Both pens take international cartridges; there is a converter included with the Haolilai. Both are good pens, but they aren't getting much action in my rotation and I am feeling a bit gluttonous by hanging onto them right now. So they should go to a new home where they will be used.

To be considered, PM me and include:
-Your name
-A little bit about how you got into FPs.
-Something interesting about yourself.
-Your mailing address.

Winner will be picked randomly.

Received my PIF yesterday but didn't get the mail till later. A very clean crisp green pen accompanied by some cartridges. There was a beautiful note written by Alex in his own hand with one of his italics I presume and I had a converter that fit the pen perfectly. It is already at home with a student in my fountain pen club for the weekend to practice some italic cursive. Thanks a bunch Alex.

I'd like to try some new ink. I only have one bottle of ink, so this would expand my collection and give me a new color to play with!

[Sinistral1]

That is a very nice PIF, Alc3261!

I've never had an ink with shading properties(if that's what it's called) before so I'd love to check it out

I got mine today. She was kind enough to include four cartridges of ink and a pilot metropolitan nib. It looks really nice and I'm going to try it out as soon as I'm done with this post.

Thank you so much. This pen will be one of my favorite two pens.

Edit: I tried it out and it writes really well. The only issue is that I have to hold the pen at a much steeper angle than I'm used to.

I received my snakeskin rollerball and 5 cartridges from the very generous Alex and I'd like to say that he has awesome handwriting. A nice note came with it all the way from Germany to me in Florida, USA. The pen writes beautifully and I will be practicing my handwriting among other things. Thank you Alex
