    26:04—Emotional attachment to pens

    • What do your fountain pens mean to you? Has this changed over time?
    • Is there a pen that is particularly meaningful, and why?
    • Do you feel more connected to a pen when you have had it for a long time, or when you know its history?
    • What do you think your pens say about you?
    • How would you feel if all your fountain pens were lost in a fire? Would you want to find exact replacements for your favourite pens or would you start over afresh?

    • Ayeneneyeee: What has been your favourite fountain pen related experience, fact, or skill you've learnt this year?
    • Ayeneneyeee: Fountain pen goals for next year? This can be a pen (or let's be honest, pens) you're chasing, a new direction for your collection (russian vintage or even a big cull?), or maybe you're considering exploring new terrain (e.g. nib tuning, urban sketching, ink making...).
    • Sharyn: How much ink is “enough”?

    32 - Build Your Own Chimera Nov 09, 2018
    Show notes

    Our hosts have a lively discussion on the topic of chimeras - pens built out of parts that didn’t originally go together. Are chimeras an abomination? Or is a little “frankensteining” sometimes a necessity? What about when it’s done for fun or self-expression? And if we could each build our own dream pen, what would it be?
