This is why I won't let myself get started on fountain pens. I tend to go down the rabbit hole hard when I pick up a new hobby, and fountain pens have always seemed like such an enticing rabbit hole to dive into!
Three months into the hobby I'd probably have two desk drawers full of pen paraphernalia and a credit card bill full of shame! Not that other pen freaks do this. I just know I would.
(and I'm left-handed....)
- jgtrosh 8y agoSounds like you'd fit in just right with the others at r/fountainpens
- JohnBooty 8y agoHa, that's the problem, right? I fit in with obsessive gear geeks a little too well, and can't afford a new time- and money-suck of a hobby. As somebody who enjoys playing games, managing to avoid the MMO craze entirely was a struggle and an achievement...
- lb1lf 8y agoAs for being left-handed, so am I - and I have found it to be not much of an issue, as (some!) modern inks dry almost instantly. (de Atramentis Fog Grey being a favourite - dries instantly and is highly water resistant to boot.)
