I have been using a Parker student level fountain pen that I received as a "going away to university" gift from the library where I worked for 4 years during O and A levels. I find the quality of the paper has a lot to do with it as well - the combination of the two is almost hypnotic. I have been using a notebook and fountain pen as a brain dump for 6 months or so now, and it's working well. Hasn't done much in terms of my songwriting, as (for me) that's very much about extremely quick shorthand, scribblings and crossings out and is usually done with a biro so I don't spoil the fountain pen...
But it's nice to see a sudden wave of "nicepen-itis" sweeping the flist!
