If you want to try fountain pens but don't want to spend $$ on a nice one at first, check out the Pilot Varsity line.[1] They're cheap and disposable and seem to write pretty well. (I'm no expert on fountain pens though.)
I use them for note taking at meetings and whatnot. You do want a fairly fine/tight paper to write on though - the same as any other liquid-ink pen.

- kctess5 11y agoI can recommend the Pilot Metropolitan [1]! I have two and they are better than some "very nice" fountain pens I've used/had. Very smooth, very little issues with leaking, pretty cheap at <$20. [1] http://www.gouletpens.com/Pilot-Metropolitan/c/191 http://www.gouletpens.com/Pilot-Metropolitan/c/191
- tacticus 11y agoI'll second this recommendation. the metropolitans are great pens.
- gknoy 11y agoI loved them. I seem to recall them not being waterproof, though. For paper, try the bamboo-based paper from Staples. :)
