I'm UK timezone, I tend to get on around 6/7pm, if anyone needs a body just lemme know, I'd be keen to get involved! I'd prefer discord servers but ideally I would be a friendly, not really interested in joining clans to be completely transparent. I recently got back into the game with monuments of triumph, I had quit in final shape so am angling to get that rust off! I'd prefer LGBT friendly spaces
I took a day off yesterday so felt like I was slouching so swapped to a flex nib (zebra g, in a straight holder), I write perpendicular for both hands actually so the logic is the same, the lines are straight down when I write, I think it looks pretty class for an attempt, but here is a comparison to judge for yourself.
Holder: Jinhao 159, it fits in easily enough, pulls out just the same, I didn't have ink in it so dipped into ink
Ink: Octopus red, fun practice ink because I have too much of it. I don't use reds often so it's great variety
As ever, for clarity, first picture is my left hand, second is my right hand

I'm relearning how to write with my left hand, focusing largely on arm movement then working on legibility later. I think it's a fun experiment. I am copying an article from BMJ, I find it fun to show a direct comparison as you can see here.
I prefer needlepoints but don't think I'm comfortable using them yet and am instead intending on slowly getting down from a Parker 51 M to maybe a fine or extra fine.
I was made to swap hands when I was smaller so just want to try improve my ability to use either or because why not hahah
