I still think of having a pen and an inkwell when it comes to fountain pens. I don't really expect them to look modern. My dad had one in his office that I wasn't allowed to use (being all of about 4). The one time I tried, I made a grand mess of things. I've just got my Pilot V-pen thing now, but I find it writes too thick for most of my purposes, and the ink is heavy.

I have a souvenir feather pen that I've yet to try and use. Came with a bottle of sepia ink. I think I should go find some black, since I'm not too fond of the sepia, though I suppose I could try some art. My sister did some art with a fountain pen and ink bottle, up until the ink dropped on her page and she had to madly work it before the ink set. No more bottle after that!
