Pen pals/letter exchange?

Anyone interested in exchanging letters? I'm interested in hearing from some of you, especially those of you in 'lands far away' (meaning, outside the USA).
But really any of you guys/gals reading this sub-forum are likely candidates to receive a piece of paper filled with my rather sub-par/non-traditional handwriting.
Any interest?

Yeah, I don't write unless I have to and only enjoy writing invoices.

Vic, if your handwriting is sub par I would hate to think what you thought of mine...

Par our discussion, I am moving next week and will have a big desk again! Finally I'll get to enjoy all those inks I told you I put in storage...

C-
Very kind of you to say.
Don't forget...I have some new/additional ink samples I'd like to send you (5 to be exact).
Drop me a line (PM or snail) with your new address when you're settled.
Oh, and congratulations on getting things settled down!

I'd send a letter - I need a reason to use my fountainpen for lengthier writing than checks

I'm in Maine.

Hehe..I write with my 149 A LOT. I love taking notes with my FP during class. Plus I been keeping a personal journal. So I'm always finding an excuse to write with my FP. My MontBlanc 149 holds quite a bit of ink, but I refill it once a week.

Just saw this post. I'll put my hand up.

However, I'll have to say upfront that I can only sustain one letter per month to another pen pal. I've got a pen pal who responds within the same day regardless and if we don't regulate the flow I would have to write him a dozen letters in a month, and I'm not quite up to this kind of frequent writing

P.S. I'll be moving to work in Munich within the next 2-3 weeks then I suppose it's best to start the process after I've settled.

Enjoy my birth city!

We should start this when we all get settled. Since we all talk here, these letters could just be samples of handwriting, ink, and pen combos. Needless to say, it could be a lot of fun.

Very cool guys!
Whenever you're ready/settled just drop me a PM and we can exchange addresses.
And Kai, no worries...whatever frequency is cool with me- in fact, 1/month or so is probably really good. More time to build up things to write about.
