Any other fountain pen enthusiasts? What nibs do you prefer? Do you have a favourite fp? Are there any fps you aspire to?

What about ink? Favourite colours for different occasions or one colour across the board? Favourite ink brand? I'm trying to find the 'perfect' dark green and imperial purple for my taste. Currently the Lamy turquoise is a favoured colour but I don't like the slight pooling that causes darker areas in the script.

Currently I really enjoy using a (ebay bargain: brand new and less than half price) Scheaffer Urban, ebony lacquer/chrome trim with a M, thankfully it doesn't write too thick for me...I usually prefer a F nib dependent upon brand and pen. There's also a vintage Paper Mate, slim line fp with gold accoutrement, tortoiseshell pattern metal barrel and lid, that is an absolute joy to use and is filled with good old Quink blue/black.

The current favourite, every day, throwing in my rucksack pen, is a Lamy Nexx (pink lid) with F black nib.

I think this falls within the realm of kitsch and/or whimsy...

Saw a similar one years ago with an image that flipped between Jesus and the words "Jesus Rules".

I know Venus007 is a fountain pen lover and can talk nibs and stuff. Hopefully she'll post.

I think I found my home thread

I could spend some serious money as in a whole paycheck in Staples, Office Depot..ok even WalMart. My niece and I went to WalMart just yesterday for some other items and they have their school supply aisles going. I may have walked out with some sharpies, colored pencils, colored markers, a totally awesome paper holder/clipboard, those little note tablets (you know the kind that you can jot things in and can carry about 20 around with you)

Oh, and I seriously LOVE white papered legal pads. As someone above said.. *swoooooon*

*goes back to swooning over the pictures posted*
