How long have you been using fountain pens?

For years on and off, the collection really took off about 6 mo ago.

What do you use your fountain pens for? 

Mainly journaling, and notetaking, but really anything that requires a pen.

What are you hoping to get out of this exchange? 

I tend to gravitate towards the same colors/ things I know I already like so something fun that I might not pick on my own.

What are some of your other interests (if not already described in givin.gifts profile)?

I am an avid reader with a love of fantasy books, also all things fiber arts related.

Are you interested in receiving pen(s)? If so, preferred nib, material, feedback, weight, etc.? OR What are your favorite pens and what do you like about them?

I love a nice broad nib, and a nice wet ink.

Are you interested in receiving ink(s)? If so, preferred colors, desired characteristics like shading/sheen/shimmer, wet/dry, etc.? OR What are your favorite inks and why do you like them?

My current ink obsessions are Sailor Manyo in Ume, and J Herbin Emerald of Chivor, I love nice shading and shimmer in my inks and am not particularly picky with color.

Are you interested in receiving paper/notebooks? If so, preferred smoothness, paper size, ruling, weight, hardcover/softcover, binding, etc.? 

So far I have used mainly Clairefontaine/Rhodia. a5 is my preferred size.

Are you interested in receiving nibs and/or pen repair supplies? If so, what in particular?

Yes, I don't have any just yet beyond a basic syringe so pen flush or anything else helpful for maintenance would be great!

Are you interested in receiving stationery accessories, such as pen cases/rolls, notebook covers, pen-themed stickers/decals, ink swatching cards/stamps, etc.? If so, what in particular? stickers or stamps would be lovely.

How would you describe your personal style or aesthetic? Goth, cottage-core, modern, shabby chic, minimalist…. 

fantasy, and vintage mainly. I do love color (with the exception of rubber ducky yellow and traffic cone orange)

Some people like to include some bonus candies or sweets in the packages. Do you have any food restrictions or allergies your Santa should be aware of? None whatsoever

Please link any “state of the collection” posts or images below for your Santa so they have an idea of your tastes and to avoid repeats. (Post on your reddit user profile, in a Mastodon post, or on a image host like imgur).

Anything you definitely don't want, or already have too many of? (ink colors, pen models, brands to avoid, etc.). 

I have already acquired this years diamine Inkvent calendar and I'm being really good about waiting to open it (I had my sister hide it from me) so nothing from there, other than that Go for it!
