- Award Votes: Total votes received during the Goodreads Choice Awards.

▲ 182 r/fountainpens
Gather 'round, fellow enablers. I am the reason fountain pen retailers need "Are you currently falling down a flight of stairs?" captchas.
It was 2:00 AM. I was awake, entirely sober, and doing what I like to call "stress-testing" a pen shop's website. I had added a brushed steel Lamy Studio to my cart. Purely as a joke, I decided to see what it would look like to buy an entire wardrobe for it. So I added all the basic silver Z50 nibs - exactly six of them, ranging from Extra Fine to the stubs. And, because a man of science must be thorough, I threw in two Z27 converters for good measure.
It was a digital monument to questionable financial decisions. I hovered my mouse over the cart, chuckled at the total, and went to stand up.
This is when my Roomba, which had somehow escaped its dock, silently ambushed my ankles.
I lost my balance and stepped back to catch myself, but my foot found a rogue, loose sheet of Tomoe River 52gsm paper on the hardwood floor. If you've ever wondered just how smooth Tomoe River paper actually is, let me assure you: it has a friction coefficient of absolute zero.
My leg shot forward into the fourth dimension. I was airborne.
In a desperate, flailing panic to stop my descent, I slammed my hand down on my desk. My palm flat-out slapped my wireless mouse.
Click. Checkout.
I continued to fall, my center of gravity completely abandoning me. My chin slammed into the edge of my mechanical keyboard.
Tab. Tab. Enter. Shipping address selected.
I was completely horizontal now, plummeting toward the earth. As my body twisted, my flailing elbow knocked the wireless mouse off the desk. It fell in tandem with me, a tragic companion in my gravitational demise. I hit the floor with a groan that rattled my ink bottles. A fraction of a second later, the mouse hit the floor right next to my ear, landing perfectly on its left button.
Click. Place Order.
I lay there on the floor, staring at the ceiling, gasping for air. The Roomba gently bumped into my shoulder and beeped a cheerful tune. From the darkness above me, my monitor cast a bright, glowing, mocking light down onto my face.
“Thank you! Your order of 1x Lamy Studio, 2x Z27 Converters, and 6x Z50 Silver Nibs is confirmed and preparing for shipment.”
I didn't even have the strength to reach up and cancel it. I just accepted my fate. Somewhere out there, a warehouse worker is packing a single pen, dual converters, and enough spare nibs to outfit a small classroom, wondering what kind of wildly indecisive creature placed this order. The answer is me. A man bested by a robotic vacuum and a sheet of Japanese stationery.
