10:50—Q&A
- Therese Brand: I'd love to have a better understanding of the different flex nibs vs waverly/cursive/italic, stub/music, zoom nibs etc from the different brand...pros & cons, your own preferences and why?
- Ayeneneyeee: What has been your favourite fountain pen related experience, fact, or skill you've learnt this year?
- Ayeneneyeee: Fountain pen goals for next year? This can be a pen (or let's be honest, pens) you're chasing, a new direction for your collection (russian vintage or even a big cull?), or maybe you're considering exploring new terrain (e.g. nib tuning, urban sketching, ink making...).
- Sharyn: How much ink is “enough”?
- Father Kyle: Self reflections on doing a full year of podcasting about pens.
- Paperlate: It seems like a few of you have extensive Japanese pen collections; it would be great to hear what some of your favourite pens are in each of your collections.
- Tinybadge: What sub-$50 fountain pens can you all recommend?
- Sharyn: Biggest FP surprise and biggest disappointment this year?
