The excellent text-based browser game, Fallen London, has an Exceptional Story (it's what they call their premium content) titled "Shades of Yesterday".

It's theme revolves around a fountain pen show, replete with pen sampling stations, ink collections, expensive paper, and fountain pens that steal your memories as you write them down.

The story nails what a modern fountain pen show set in a subterranean Victorian London would look like.

I was ready to think this was spam, and then I read the post. OMG, I would read a steam punk novel on this premise. Thank you for sharing!!

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

On our drive home last night, I was telling my family about this.  Have you played it yourself?

I have been a Fallen London player for the last 3 years. With my current schedule, the only gaming I have time for is of the highly interruptible type. It doesn't get more interruptible than text-based rpg. Case in point: I have started this particular story but haven't finished it yet.

I highly recommend it.
