Choose wisely.
Of course pens are the better choice.
Pencils are pretty cool yo.
But it really just depends on what I'm going to be using them for. Though I think I prefer the way pencils feel when it's touching the paper. Kinda rough you know.
When writing I definitely choose pens for smoothness.
Though my handwriting seems nicer in pencil =\
Doodle, I saw that you made the thread and read "pens" as "penis" :|
Pens with an eraser ftw.
I prefer pencils thank you very much.
Pens are the lousiest pieces of poop I have EVER written with. ALL of them.
I use pens to write with, but I prefer pencils overall and for drawing.
i draw a lot, So i use pencils all the time. I hate writing in pen, because i always make mistakes. I never make mistakes with a pencil though. I guess it has to do with the pressure of writing prefectly. PENCILS FTW

Oh thank god I'm not the only one.
Voted for pens accidentally.
But pencils are far better, because they can erase cleanly. Erasable ink sucks.
Mechanical .7mm pencil.
Bitch.
Pencils have better erasers, and I'm destined to screw up.
Pencils run out of lead. You can buy new lead. Lead can break. Pens have ink that lasts much longer than pencil with lead in it.
Pencils feel like poop to write with and can squeak and make the worst sound in the world.
Pens are smooth and silent. If I make a mistake with a pen I just scribble the poop out. Who the intercourse cares?
Pens, of course.

Don't talk poop until you've used one of those motherintercourse ers. Smoothest thing ever. It's like the wind is your ink. Fuck yeah.
And it says Japan on the grip so it appeals to Japanophiles. Yeah, can't say no to that.
pen
Pencil because I need to erase.
Someone told me that you remember stuff written in pencil better than in pen, though it was from a unreliable source, I still believe.
Pens. Pencils are for indecisive pussies.

I've noticed that, too. But oh, how I love the sound of it!
Pencils. Not only can I erase my mistakes, but I've noticed that my writing seems nicer in pencil.

Yeah, can't say no to that.
Name, company, and where to buy said pen?

Erasable pens, ma'am.
Pencils obviously
Mechanical pencils or pens, I don't particularly care. I get nasty callouses on my fingers from ordinary pencils. :x
Well, I have an obsession with mechanical pencils. I don't use..regular pencils. D: They piss me off. ;-; I hate sharpening them. The lead always breaks off right after I sharpen them.

me too. i hate just using regular pencils. i never do. i always have to use mechanical pencils. always. i'd rather use a pen than a regular pencil.
Since I waste my money on useless things, I have those awesome $25 pens that glide on the page without a sound, but costs like $5 per refill.
Shit's great bro
Mechanical pencils.
Body of a pen. Awesomeness of a pencil. Yessir.
Definitely pens. Especially the ones with a thin yet smooth tip (as in, they write in fine print but also require nearly no force to write and are quiet). An easy to find and really good (in my opinion) kind of pen is the Pilot G-2 line. They're also very colorful <3

Regular pencils are among the worst writing devices available. All the sawdust-like wood shavings wind up everywhere and the pencils' outside edge are very rough and make one's hand sore after a while. They even tend to have absolutely horrible erasers often; even the most common pink eraser sucks compared to either white mechanical pencil erasers or the blue erasable pen erasers. As for the black erasers, I'm surprised somebody even bothered to invent them; they NEVER properly erase anything.
Mechanical pencils are like half-pencil half-pen. I personally use them only when I have a picky math teacher who refuses to grade my penwork or when I take machine-graded tests. Because I usually write with my left hand, the traces of the pencil graphite nearly cover the side of my hand after I write much with them. Pen ink is far less willing to stick to my skin and even after I write four times that much, I have at most a few specks and light/small smudges on the side of my hand.
As for correction, even the best of pencil erasers leave a dark smudge on the paper after use. I think the final work looks neater to be written in pen and have errors crossed out (or even whited out) than to be written in pencil and have dark smudges across the paper. That's not even considering that the higher contrast of most pen inks to the paper makes it easier to read in the first place.
..So I was just looking for a pic of awesome mechanical pencils because I saw Blu posted cute pens..and I found these.

I have those. :o They're so awesome and I got these really colourful ones. I love them. D: Actually I lost all of them except one. Wait no, people kept asking me if they could use a pencil and they never game them back. They never no. :'( Remind me to bring regular pencils to school to give to people who ask for one so that I dun lose my awesome mechanical pencils. ;-;
Also..
