So, I like to write simple notes, journaling, to-do lists, or essays/fiction with a fountain pen whenever possible, and I'm trying to find a good journal or planner to use. My Pilot and Diamine inks feather a lot on the paper I'm currently using, and that's really the main problem I want to address.

What brands or products would you recommend? What kind of paper do you like best?

I tend to use Leuchtturm1917 notebooks - they are very similar to Moleskine in form factor if you're used to those, but come in a wide variety of sizes and dot grid / plain / ruled / etc. types. The paper is very fountain pen friendly - won't show off sheen etc. as much as Tomoe River or something like that, but still great. Edit: sorry for the dupes! Liftoff had a moment of madness.
