Join your fellow Piper fans

Welcome to the Zarthani.net H. Beam Piper Mailing List.  Initiated in October 2008 (after the demise of the original PIPER-L mailing list), this tool for shared communication among Piper fans provides an e-mail list with on-line archives.  (Archives from 2008 to 2021 are also available.)

This is a moderated, post-by-subscription, electronic mail list (and therefore not a "public space" — though messages posted to the mailing list are made available to the public).  Moderation will focus on keeping the discussion generally civil and well-mannered and, most importantly, related to H. Beam Piper and his work (in a broadly interpreted sense).  Off-topic posts or ad hominem comments — as determined by the moderator — will not be approved for posting.  Frequently-moderated posters may be prohibited from posting to the list at the moderator's discretion.

You can submit a request to subscribe to the list using the following form:

Given name and surname (required): 

 Click if you prefer daily digest summary format

You'll receive an acknowledgement of your subscription request and a confirmation message once your request has been approved by the moderator.


Online Piper Discussion

"When [the PIPER-L owner] told me how many people had subscribed in the few short hours that the list has existed, I knew that we had something good going."
— Geoffrey Edwards, October 2, 1995


Online discussion of Piper and his work have been active since October 1995.  The original forum for online Piper discussion was "The Works of H. Beam Piper" mailing list (affectionately known by the "local-part" of the list e-mail address, "PIPER-L").  An archive of messages originally posted to the now-defunct PIPER-L mailing list, from 1995 to 2008, is irregularly preserved by the Internet Archive and a still-being-curated subset is provided by Zarthani.net.

After PIPER-L came to an end, Piper discussion moved to the "Piper Mailing List and Discussion Forum" in 2008.  An archive of messages originally posted to this list-and-forum, including all messages posted through 2021, is also provided by Zarthani.net.  In 2021, this list-and-forum became the current "H. Beam Piper Mailing List" (which includes a online message archive), after moving to a new service provider.


There is an annual subscription fee required to keep the H. Beam Piper Mailing List active.  You can support the continued availability of this shared resource by making a contribution using the PayPal link below.  (You don't need a PayPal account to make a donation, just a credit card.)  Thank you for whatever level of support you may choose to provide.
