I mostly use my fountain pens for my Hobonichi planner, snail mail penpalling, and a little journaling now and then. I also prefer them for general use like making quick notes, but in that case I’ll write on and with whatever I can grab before the thought escapes.
Do you use any particular site to meet penpals? I've been thinking about it, maybe getting a PO box to make it more private - but I see a lot of stories of flaky pen pals that don't write back.
Ive used /r/penpals before with good results, as well as swapbot. Would highly recommend a po box.
Hmm, interesting idea. Could this be a good community to start?
The free penpal matching sites pretty much all suck. I signed up at ipfworld.com which was about $25 for a one-year membership. They give you 10-12 addresses, and give your address to 10-12 other members over the year.
