It is really, really nice to see someone else also uses the word fishies in normal conversation.

It is really nice to be called normal!

But yes, if we can use endearing words for doggos and p… cats, then we can use fishies too!

I bought a pilot decimo, an Esterbrook single pen sleeve, and some spare Chinese nibs to f*ck around with. Oh, and I bought a Pelikan 205 in December, so receiving it in January doesn’t count. I also bought diplomat aero in January, but didn’t receive it until February, so it doesn’t count.

I think you found a loophole. Also anything under $50 doesn’t count so nibs are fine anyway!

Aye, I've got six on the way as well. Although to be fair, I did (somehow) manage to hold off until 00:01 on the 1st of Feb before placing the orders, so I had some catching up to do!

Well I will count the two I failed January with and a kickstarter projects so I’m not too behind you!

Absolutely no fails when it comes to fountain pens. Unless it's an objectively bad pen. Or if you smash a box containing many, many bottles of ink into the carpet. Everything else is grand.

Agreed. That is why I again have three pens in the mail.
