I absolutely love it and thought about it before. I've rp-ed about writing with a sharp piece of wood and a mixture of charcoal and water, with coal, using feather and some oil... all I've read here is far better and having a proper item would be just wonderful. (Yessss fountain pens, although they'll be like luxury items hard to achieve)

I please beg you, as someone else stated before, to not make them essential to write notes, though.

According to Jos, the ability to write notes is the most important fundamental functionality of the game. It will most likely never require any tools or special resources.

If we get to implement books or more advanced furniture like paintings, they may require tools.

I agree that notes are far too important to require even simple tools to make.

I'm not sure how to vote given the options. As long as it doesn't negatively impact something (notes, in this case) then I don't care one way or another if there are more RP items added.

I see no problem with adding pens/pencils in the game for roleplaying purposes. I wouldn't like it being a requirement for making/copying notes though.

Why? If they were relatively cheap...
