I’m afraid ink pens bring back memories of teachers hovering over me during the endless extra handwriting lessons that didn’t do any good. I’m a fan of cheap biros these days. Most of my stories have the first draft scribbled in my unique scrawl on Lined paper using biro. They were banned in school.

Glass half full.
Someone close once bought me a Parker Sonnet fountain pen. I still have that someone and I still have that pen..

Liz,
I thoroughly enjoyed your forum topic. I have a particular fondness for fountain pens stemming from one I inherited from my father. It is 18K gold with a beautiful pattern, cap and barrel. It was old before I was born, lol. Probably pre WW II, European. Light, dainty, a joy to hold and feel in ones hand. My dad was equally comfortable working with his hands or wearing a suit and could easily see it being worn as part of that suit. I have not been able to identify who made it. It is refillable and has a small rubber (?) bladder inside. It needs repair and I can't find anyone I can trust to fix it. I have a friend who makes pens and have a number of favorites from him. One is a dip pen, long about barrel, hand turned from Sonoran Ironwood from south west Arizona. The nib is from the mid 1930s and just beautiful. Another of my favorites is a Roller Ball with a barrel made from a Redwood Lace Burl, gold fittings. They are all "favorites" but a few are my go to pens - a beautiful fountain pen made from buffalo horn (no animal hurt in the process) and a wonderful feeling and spectacular fountain pen, gold nip, blue lacy resin done in an Art Deco style. I cannot describe how wonderful it is to use a good fountain pen. Most people I have met think it is archaic and even laugh. Right up until I let them "try" one of my pens and then I have a hard time getting it back, lol. All converts.
Again,
Thank you for your forum topic,
A surprise,

I have several fountain pens but don’t use them often. I get frustrated with the maintenance, the ink drying up, nibs needing cleaning. I don’t use them often enough to keep them flowing. I do love that they require so little pressure to make a mark and can be used with a relaxed grip.

The fountain pens certainly are more stylish and more comfortable to use. But the palm of my hands sweat a lot, hence I prefer not using ink pens. Just ball-pens and micro-tip pens are my preferred ones ...
