So, uh....the Writing Community is back?

Under the COMMUNITIES menu, Writing is back under My Communities. But it's not showing up under the SHOP menu for me. And it only has one fountain pen for purchasing so far. Is this an error, or is it permanently back?

Well that is disappointing, a large percentage of my 150+ drops have been from the writing community. I for one won't be visiting the site much anymore because I was mainly interested in the writing community, which is too bad because often times I would see a drop from a different community here and there that I would join during those visits.

Seems to me like Massdrop was either bought out by someone or they took a lot of PE funding. They rebranded to "Drop", expanded to Europe and now they've "dropped" a lot of products and communities, including ours. 🤔 Well at least I know I'll be buying my stuff from Cult Pens and Endless Pens now.

I've been away from the internet for a couple of months. I've come back to find almost nothing for sale In the Writing Community. Have you stopped selling fountain pens? If so, I'll have to leave.

ifoxPlease remove me from your mailing list and stop sending me emails. This is because you have "sunset" -- a truly nauseating euphemism -- the writing community. I'm not interested enough in knives and watches to continue with Drop.

As there's no guarantee that your Writing Forum will ever continue to exist, there's no point in using it to help future visitors navigate the wonderful world of Fountain Pens. I'll frequent both Reddit and FountainPenNetwork instead. I'm gone...

Some of us had the idea that maybe Endless Pens might want to host our Writing community, so we reached out to them, and although there is no forum in place, Hop Drop is specifically created for us. https://endlesspens.com/collections/hop-drop You will need to create an account to see what's on offer, there will be an additional 15% off using code: HOPDROP15 This offer will be valid for a week, and there will be new deals with new discount codes every week. Visit this link for the latest on this development: https://drop.com/talk/21301/current-deals-elsewhere Spread the word. Pass it on.

So your my primary interface for pens, having someone curate what is out there and present that to the world is how many of us know and learn about these products. Maybe you could have a standard list of products and you keep selling those products till you find better ones? Most of us know that we can find these products other places, but that is just the thing, we don't even know what to look for. You do a great job of photographing the products, and explaining them. Why should the product go away, just keep selling the drops. Maybe your not cheeper, maybe you are, try to find some value added way to be different like bundles (notebook/pen/ink set).

Not selling pens? I’m out of here. One more junk email I can get rid of.
