Using a numbered running list and random.org, the winner is:Oshizemi!I have sent a PM. Have fun with the Sheaffer!There were 35 entries so if you don't like the pen it looks like plenty of other people want to give it a go lol.

OMG. This pen is AMAZING. Thank you so much for offering this up on the forums and I am so grateful and thankful for being the recipient. Your included sheets of calligraphy are beautiful and very inspiring. I plan on framing the one of my name and the birds to show off. I need to get more practice in! I've taken pictures and once I resize them and figure out how to post them from my phone I'd like to share them here, plus what I've managed to write as well.

 

I'd like to offer a PIF for you all. Sugarmade tree free paper. Specs: sugarcane and bamboo fiber, 92 bright 20lb.

I'm offering up a sample of 5 sheets of paper (or whatever it is I can fit in a standard business sized envelope with a Forever postage stamp haha... so it may be like 8 sheets) to 10 people, here in the USA. All I ask is that you PM an original poem you've written about fountain pens.

Final date for submission... how about September 15th. I'll pick winners based on what poems I liked best, and announce the winners and share the winning entries here September 20th.

Show me your creativity and enter for some free paper!

BUMP

 

Haikus, limericks, free form, anything! So far I'm doing one out of country trade but not a single stateside entry :( don't be shy! We're all poets and artists at heart. I'd really like to do this PIF and get the word out about this paper before I offer up one of my hand crafted journals in this thread :P this paper is amazing and I want y'all excited for what I have planned next!

Being the lucky recipient of Komitadjie's PIF, I had to say:

This PiF is now closed and the results are in - all drawn using random.org.

 

Thank you to all who entered, and for the lovely personal messages that many sent. I replied individually to everyone at first, but then I went to a conference and came back this afternoon to a full inbox. So if you sent me a PM and didn't get a reply, please rest assured that I both read it and entered you for the relevant item(s). With that out of the way, the winners are:

 

* Italix Originalis (23 entries): T4TEXAS

 

* L'Plume (11 entries): trdsf

 

* Pelikan Edelstein Turmaline (9 entries): RagwortFairy

 

* Diamine Golden Brown (5 entries): lurker

 

* De Atramentis Lachs/Salmon (3 entries, following a withdrawal): bardiir

 

I have sent each winner a PM. If any prize remains unclaimed by the end of 16 September, I shall assume the winner does not want the prize and do the draw for that item again from the remaining pool of original entrants.

 

As a reminder, the original PiF announcement was on 30 August 2014.

Thanks :)

And thanks again for offering this great PIF, the first I've "won" actually :)

My Pens/Nibs (inked/active): Lamy Studio/Vista/Joy (XXF slight-flex custom | 14k EF | EF | F | 14k M | M | B | 14k 1.1 custom | 1.1 | 1.5 | 1.9), TWSBI Diamond 580 (F | Pendleton BadBoy | Zebra G | F.P.R. semi-flex), Pilot Falcon EF, Penkala Vintage 14k semi-flex, Pilot Parallel (2.4 | 3.8 | 6.0)

http://www.fp-ink.info/img/button.pngI'm still looking for help/data/supporters/sponsors for my Ink Database - It already contains over 900 Inks but is still low on data about the inks except on the Inks I got myself or where I found nice data sheets. So Im looking for these: InkSamples mailed to me, Permissions to use InkReviews - preferable by people who have a lot of InkReviews online, InkReviews mailed to me so I can scan them, Sponsors that will help me to finance InkSamples, People willing to trade InkSamples (list of available Inks from me is available via PM request - please include available Inks)

Hey, glad to see it's working decently for 'ya, ScienceChick! :)

 

I have ONE more of those extra-skeezy pens, so watch for another similar PIF here in a few days, most likely. I'm torn between offering IGs again, or a duo-of-doom and going with the ESSRI and Platinum Carbon Black.

I don't seem to have had a PM from you?

 

Oh did I mess it up somehow? :blush: Sorry, I'm new to the forums. I clicked on "Send me a message" on your profile and I think it's showing up in my messages page. Unless I accidentally sent it to myself...

That's what I do as well, now you got me thinking wether they have been receiving my messages for past PIF's or not, which would explain my absolute bad luck :(

Well mine did show up eventually, it just took a while, so maybe it's just luck of the draw. Take heart though, eventually it will become statistically improbable that you won't be chosen. :P

Good to hear, thanks for letting me know. :) I'm glad it wasn't due to a mistake on my part haha.
