I've had better luck with the metallic pens that are actually made for fabric than the ones intended for paper. They take longer to dry, but are easier to use and definitely do not drain as quickly as the Sharpie brand pens.

mejusthavingfun...I know there are fans who...do go overboard. But not all do. In fact, I think the overwhelming majority don't. My point wasn't how can you accuse anyone of that, but you and well many others, see those kinds of fans and assume all are like that, and it really pisses me off.

My silver sharpies have been dying too...but I don't know if I'm in the mood to buy yet another pack of overpriced permanent markers. I'm going to try to find one of the substitutes.
I was reading the first page of this topic, and I actually was thinking, wow this thread has nobody being mean to each other. Then I started wondering why, and I realized because there was nothing to fight over. Low and behold, I hit next page, and there is a rude nasty post. Honestly, If you disagree say it, but if you are just being rude, save your time and ours, and don't post it.
I thought I would share another silver Sharpie failure story. I went to see Rent in Washington D.C. last night, and someone was having a poster signed at the stage door. They had 2 silver Sharpies, and both of them failed. fotunately, I had one that worked that they could use, and everything worked out. I believe there was probably a production problem with the first batches of these, becaust of all these instances of failure. I bought the ones I now use 2 weeks ago and they work perfectly, but there may be many of that batch still out there being sold that do not. I am not certain of that, but it is plausible.
Drench yourself in words unspoken. Live your life with arms wide open. Today is where your book begins. The rest is still unwritten.
