Wow. Pen-fi. I'm guess I shouldn't be surprised that some headphone addictianados love pens as well. I thought I got away from the fountain pen addiction hobby.
I had a Lamy 2000 for a number of years. Its a great pen. Neil Gaiman uses the Lamy 2000 as well. He refers to it as his 'novel writing pen'.
I think Hero 100s are probably the best bang/buck fountain pens, as far as modern ones go. Very nice and ~$30.
They are based heavily on of one of the finest fountain pens ever made... vintage Parker 51s, which go restored for around ~$60+
Vintage fountain pens are really amazing. If you haven't had the pleasure of checking out whats available, you should take a look. I think they far surpass the modern offerings, in style and quality.
I spent a while finding the smoothest uncoated paper made. There are paper industry has standards for this kind of stuff... The first kind is too expensive for what it is, the second is Stora Enso 4cc color copy. Uncoated, super smooth, and dries really fast without feathering. Its worth it to have it bound up for you at Kinkos, if you don't mind unlined paper. Its cheap too. Excellent stuff.
