I've been collecting fountain pens for about two years now. One of my coworkers got me hooked on writing with them at work, and I use a Wing Sung 840 inked with Diamine Red Dragon every day on the job.
This is my collection so far, some of these I have duplicates of, the 840, for instance which is my favorite pen and cheap too- at $5 direct from China, I own four of, two I keep at work and two at home, Also I have multiples of the Jinhao 599, the extras I purchased pretty much just for the converter since they are the only plunger converter I've found that fit snugly in the 840.

Rock on! I didn't know you were also a fountain pen collector :3 I've got one the x450s too, with a Goulet EF nib. Think my favorites right now are my Lamy 2000 (keep at work) and my TWSBI Diamond Mini (always in my pocket). Most recent addition was a Pilot Vanishing Point, though I probably should have gone for the XF nib instead of the F. I love my tiny, fine lines. Red Dragon is cool! Been using Apache Sunset for letters myself recently, and Noodler's 54th Massachusetts for general use (and bulletproof black at work, in the pretty TWSBI inkwell :3 ). Also kind of like the inexpensive Pllot Metropolitans, and not just because they're available in animal print patters ;)
Hope you've been well, and to see you soon!

I've been using Diamine Florida Blue, D'atramentis Sherlock Holmes and The Pilot Iroshizuku Ku-Jaku (peacock green) in my home pens, but at work, I have a lot more fun writing in the Red Dragon, it's such a nice color, and pretty well-behaved ink. The Ku-Jaku, on the other hand I kinda regret buying a whole bottle of, it's not well-behaved at all, kinda gritty, Dissapointing for such an expensive ink.
My coworker has that TSWBI Diamond Mini, and she swears by her Pilot Metropolitans. She's part of the Goulet Ink Drop, so I've gotten a few fun ink samples from her.
Are you going to BLFC?!
