Hey, fountain (and other) pen and paper enthusiasts! We don’t have a Discover emoji tag feed for you folks yet, but I know there are quite a few of you. Roll call? I’d like to keep a list. There are new microbloggers joining us right now who are interested.
@jean How about ✍️ or ✒️ (oh and I love my Kurutoga mechanical pencil as well - thanks to @macsparky 😁)
@jean that’s me – but I don’t blog about it much, although come to think of it I did post a photo here with a fountain pen and notebook….
@jean Heck yeah! Analog guy trapped in a digital world here. Have 3 fountain pens inked up and a pile of new notebooks being delivered today.
@jean Yes: Notebooks, mostly Leuchtturn. A German pen called a Schneider (only becasue it’s named after me.) Mostly pencils, though. Staedtler, Tombow Mono100, Mitsu-Bishi Hi Uni.
@jean I am! Use a paper planner (Filofax) and journal, am a pen geek and especially love fountain pens!
Would love an emoji feed for this!
@Pilchuck Yeah. You just need one pen. The one that’s right for you.
(Says the guy who has way too many pens)
@jean Bought, but not yet used the Lamy ABC. 🖋 I am going to re-learn to write cursive with it, so count me in. 😊
@jean I’m definitely part of this group. ♥️🖋➕📜
I’ve got enough pens and notebooks that I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to run out. (Yet I still somehow end up with more. Strange that.)
@jean I don’t use fancy pens but I tend to use field notes notebooks daily for work. Does that count 😃
@jean Count me among that number. Notebooks, pens, and pencils. Have been known to buy individual sheets of manuscript paper from a charity/thrift shop because of their layout.
@jean I’m late to this conversation - yeh to RSS feeds for spotting it 🎉 - but I’m a pen & paper enthusiast (though I haven’t used a fountain pen for a while) 📝
@crossingthethreshold Thanks for replying! It’s not a bullet-proof system, but for now I’ll be sharing the link whenever I want to point people to this interest group.
@pimoore I’m not certain where you’re located, but Pen Chalet sometimes has Lamy 2000’s show up on their Final Drop page (aka open box returns) at a pretty significant discount. I actually acquired mine there earlier this year.
@jean Me! I use fountain pens for almost all my handwriting. I’m also a big fan of Noodler’s bulletproof inks.
@jean I’m game. I’ve got a pair of Kaweco Sports on my desk—use them every day in my. . . “Not Sure What to Call It™” Journal.
@jean Ooh me! Fiction writer, do all my first drafts longhand, the pen and paper are very important.
@jean definitely need to add my name here, even if very late! As much as the tech enthusiast in me tries, I can’t ever seem to successfully let go of my love of paper notebooks!
@kitt Yes! Very impressive.
I wish I qualified for this tribe. I have hand tremors, a medication side effect, that have made handwriting kinda stressful. 😒
@jean I am shifting from digital toward analog systems, that is paper notebooks with pencils and pens. I would certainly be interested in anything written about such topics. A special emoji or icon would be a very helpful tool for finding them here. I have a favorite stationery store in Thailand where I always head for the notebooks, pens & pencils inventory, always so fascinating.
@jean tremors suck… I don’t think you would not be qualified for this tribe, anyway, I think it’s about passion, not necessarily the most perfect writing! But oh, count me in as a pen and ink enthusiast 😀 neeeeed a Discover emoji tag now, we’re a legion!
@jean that’s amazing. I love the idea and I also enjoy using the micro.blog app so much and also your company and workers are super nice. I’m so grateful for all of your services so much. Thank you.

@jean My wife is the real fountain pen enthusiast, but I do enjoy my simple Parker. Favorite ink is Bernanke Black. OK maybe not favorite, but most used by far. :-)
@jean 🖋 Quite a herd of inks and a pack of pens in my stable. All meant for getting used, but TWSBI ECO-T and Lamy 2000 are dailies.
@jean Hi Jean. I use pen, pencil and paper all the time and draw with fountain pens quite often as well. Cheers!
@jean Fountain pen enthusiast here! I love my TSWBIs best of all (two Ecos and a Diamond 580) but also a fan of my Kaweco Sport & Perkeo, and a no-brand cheap Chinese pen that’s heavy metal and writes like a dream. Notebooks - my own, Leuchtturm or Start Bay.
I love the idea of pen and paper. I love holding and smelling the physical paper… the aesthetic… however, as an aspiring minimalist, I don’t love the paper clutter… and I prefer typing rather writing with a pen. I’m not overly enthusiastic about my handwriting, and I like the neatness in typing. I used to keep journals, and in my early decluttering stages, after reading through them, I got rid of them. I processed my life through writing… but now I wanted to live in the present, not hold on to my past.
@jean Just found this. Count me in. Pelikan M800s for me, one with black ink (usually Pelikan 4001) and another with a dark red ink, currently Diamine Red Dragon, though their Writer’s Blood looks good too!
