@penfount For those interested in Secret Santa, we've got a small technical issue with GG that we're working on, so we pushed matching back to Nov 22 12:00 AM UTC to give us an extra day to settle things.

For those also following along on reddit, the platform has a high error rate today that is preventing logging in to check messages and update the original post there.

This delay also gives you a small window of opportunity to join if you're interested!

Givin Gifts is the platform we use for Fountain Pens Secret Santa as well, so if you do this exchange you’ll be more familiar with how it works, just in time for Secret Santa (:

#FPQuestion of the day:
Have you ever participated in a stationery- or fountain-pen-related gift exchange? (for example: our own Fountain Pen Secret Santa, local pen club gift exchange, Givin Gifts, etc.)

Personal #Inkvent — Inksmas day 2
Rohrer & Klingner Alt-Goldgrün

This ink is another famous shading ink which probably needs no introduction. A lovely antique gold-green as it says on the tin, the color of ink shades from grass green to olive green, with a yellow/gold tint. Best in a broader nib, quite light in finer lines. (Thanks to my elite #FPSanta for the bottle!)

Writing sample: J.R.R. Tolkien

Pen: Sailor Hocoro fude
Paper: Tomoe River 52gsm original

Received a delightful and thoughtful Fun Tier gift from my Secret Santa today. Gorgeous green ink, an ink well I didn't know I wanted (but am totally enchanted with now), and a tasty treat gone as soon as I finished taking the pics to show it all off. Many thanks to my Santa! (Who is probably not on Mastodon, but you all get to see it anyway.)

@klizana I will never be good as some of our secret santa participants at actually packing the gift and presenting it in a fun way (: #fpsanta
