Just want to say I'm so happy to see other fountain-pen users here on HN. There isn't a single other person in my life who uses them.

There isn't a single other person in my life who uses them.
- Moru 9y agoEvery schoolkid in Germany seems to be using them. They even come in the cheap pen cases you can buy at the supermarket.
- b3orn 9y agoI don't know if this is still accurate, but during my time in school (finished in 2009) we had to use fountain pens from grade two and most teachers stopped caring what we were writing with in grade 7. From that point on most of use used ballpoint pens.
- hungrynerd 9y agoHuuuge communities online exist though. You might be surprised - check out fpgeeks forums or fountain pen network - both forums list local gatherings and pen shows.
- LyndsySimon 9y agoReddit's /r/fountainpens, too. There's an IRC channel that's fairly active, but I don't have the server address in front of me.
