I don't see that it (usage of a fountain pen) qualifies as an anachronism --- there has yet to be invented a more perfect / expressive portable writing instrument (a quill is even better, but wears quickly, requires a container of ink, needs a cutting surface and quill pen...).
(I used a Sheaffer fountain pen in high school, then purchased a Platignum calligraphy pen which I used for roughly 2 decades, until the top wore to the point of falling off when in my pocket, switched to a Sheaffer Agio which only lasted a few years before developing the same issue, so am now using an Esterbrook Dollar pen and a 9312 medium italic nib --- bought a new Aurora Hastil, but still debating whether or no it's too slim to use).
