>>>PEN GIVEAWAY<<<

My dearest Nostriches, here is your official pen giveaway announcement!

I'm giving away a brand new MaJohn A1 with an extra fine nib! This is one of my favorite #EDC pens so I wanted to give a lucky Nostrich a chance at their own capless fountain pen!

"But how do I enter the contest!?" I hear you ask frantically.

Well pull up an ornately carved, wooden stool and let me tell you dear Nostrich.

To enter is simple. I need me a handwriting sample! But not just any handwriting will do, oh no, I have a need for pangrams.

Now a pangram is easy enough. It's a sentence that uses every letter of the (english) alphabet. You can look lists of them up online. Some examples are:

Jack amazed a few girls by dropping the antique onyx vase.

The five boxing wizards jump quickly.

Puzzled women bequeath jerks very exotic gifts.

Brown jars prevented the mixture from freezing too quickly.

You get the idea.

Now my dearest of Nostriches, I wish for you to send me an example of any pangram you find that you like, you can use one of these or you may find your own. Write it out in your own handwriting and send me a picture of it! You can make it as fancy or as plain as you like as you are not being judged on the relative "quality" of the handwriting. It is merely a proof-of-work.

You may send up to five (different) pangrams to have five chances to win. I'll repost this note every day for the month of October so people can get their entries in! The contest opens on the first of October and the draw will be on the 31st.

Now if you don't win this time fear not my frens, this will not be your only chance. I'll be doing one of these once a month on #nostronly.

So if you or any of your frens like fountain pens then this is your chance to win a great daily driver of your own!

Rite me a paradelle and I'll consider it.

Oh my goodness, that might take me a while! Hahahaha

Thanks for pointing that out though, I had never heard of that before! That could be a very interesting challenge!

I did it. It took me a couple of hours, but that was in my New Orleans prime daze. I'll try to find it.

That's amazing. I'll have to give it a shot!

I love this idea! I might do it, even though I really can't use the totally awesome pen that's up for grabs.

It would be yours to do whatever you want with! You could gift it to someone else if you wanted. I would definitely not be offended by that, pens make excellent gifts!

I was thinking that; have you send it to someone else. Now if I could only find my things! It's all in boxes. 🤣 First night at my new address.

One down! 😀

Weird. This is what I got from that.

I'm going to count this. Hahaha

Second submission

Third

That explains it!

Just be sure that if you win to use 0xchat or Simplex for address exchange. It's mostly for privacy reasons for the winner, I have no intention of compromising that. I'll send out a simplex invite to the winner.

My handwriting? Nice try fed lol https://m.primal.net/LHUS.webp

The idea of me being a fed is hilarious.

Guess you'll have to wait for a different draw then.

Calm down, it's a joke 😁😅

You missed the lol part but OK

"Lol" is thrown around so liberally these days so yeah I did miss that, at least as intended.

Also I could actually see some being concerned about that around these parts.

I don't waste my lols

I do

lol

Where do wasted lols go?

Rehab 😂

hey Pen!

That's my favorite. You're my favorite.

I AM CALM. I'M SO CALM. I'M THE CALMEST. 🤣🤣

😊👍
