Don't waste the time of people not in the area you service! It is rude and
instead of finding more people to join you, you come off as being a total jerk
and *no one* wants to join. *I* sure as hell don't and I couldn't even if I
wanted to.  This is the *FAN FICTION MAILING LIST*. It is for reading and
critiquing FanFiction (in this case fanfic based primarily on anime).  We get a
*lot* of mail from here and it is very rude of someone such as yourself who
ought to know the rules if you're running the particular service listed, to add
your advertisements.  It is also EXTREMELY impolite of you to name your posts
"." to prevent them from being weeded out. (and I imagine it either is illegal
or should be.)
