#FPQuestion of the day:
If a genie gave you one wish and you could change one thing about the fountain pen industry, the fountain pen community, or even a specific pen—and it would immediately happen—what would it be? (The one thing can be big or small, the genie isn’t giving you any limits. And it doesn’t have to be beneficial to everyone or be altruistic or make the fountain pen hobby a better place.)
