I wish it to be known that the next person to sign on as a beta for my fiction is entitled to the designation "pi".

I'd be happy to do so. I'm halfway through Summons at the moment, but will probably finish that today or tomorrow.

Though I've also never beta'd before, I'm up to date on Elcenia and would be happy to try.

If you want me to do so, just shoot me a PM. It'd also probably be a good idea to let me know what kind of feedback you're looking for.

What value is there in being this "pi"? Also, what's this fiction?

(PS. Tau is the one true circle constant)

Pi is a popular Greek letter. In the past this was the fiction, which makes me consider it potentially relevant here (fan density) but lately it is this instead. I'll designate a taubeta after acquiring a pibeta, rhobeta, and sigmabeta.

I recently discovered, and devoured, Luminosity. Thank you for contributing to the "rationalist fiction" genre!

I haven't started Elcenia yet, but if/when I get caught up, I'll let you know. I've never beta-d before, but I'd be happy to try!
