It did, and it is fitting in great!



I think it makes the cover a bit more tense.

Was that the first or second letter you sent? Hold off on writing another if it was the first!

That was the first, really glad it finally arrived. Maybe Australia Post isn't so shocking after all.

Did my buddy get a postcard?

I think so, yes! I've been having an extremely hectic weekend but I'm about 95% confident that I got an artsy postcard from you.

I say 95% because I left it in the console of a car that wasn't mine and that car is now ~90 minutes away, but unless there's someone else out there sending artsy postcards written in Noodler's bad belted kingfisher that one was from you.

(If you PM me your address I'll write back - it might be a minute before I can recover the card.)

That was me. I’ll PM it to you.

Just chiming in to say that a wonderful postcard and letter arrived a couple days ago from Canada, and that I’m going to write back soon and perhaps include a little something too! International letter post can be so hideously slow sometimes.

Great to hear! If you remember, let me know when you send your letter, I want to gauge the time it takes to receive/ send them!

How horrible can one's handwriting still be in order to participate in this, if it's happening again at some point?

You people will by God act like a team, or at least like people who know each other, or I'll incinerate the bunch of you here and now.
There will be a secret santa exchange starting in a week or so if you wanna give it a try!

A lot of us found it harder than expected to write a letter. I must have tossed out twenty tries before I embraced the limitations of my handwriting, creativity, and unexcitingness. At least with the SASS, you can just mail $20ish worth of ink and optionally write a note too.

I opted for fancy postcards because at least the attractive part of it isn’t the side I wrote on.

When I wasn't sure what to write I just wrote out the one visible page of the untitled romance novel from The Leftovers, but then my girlfriend saw it and told me to write a regular letter.

Edit: Also, if we're still writing letters in February, I'm totally writing spicy scenes from original romance novels for Valentine's Day

Hell yeah, I love Secret Santas and if there's a pen-centric one it spares me the agony of figuring out what to get and more of making an interesting choice for my target.

Its been about 3 weeks since I sent a letter to megabound. I'm not sure how long it should take but I'd think it should have reached them by now :(

I needed some replacement paper and asked my partner to get me some for Christmas, sending them a link after quickly looking online.



(Smaller, older pad on top of new, larger pad)

So yeah, I'll be sending out scrolls or huge Napoleonic era sized letters in the near future :doh:

Maybe I'll end up getting the 1.9mm nib now?

Heads up Megabound and Teach: I have received both your replies and will post on my new ridiculously sized paper after Christmas when I have a new pen and a couple new inks to play with!
