Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Try and find a concealed place in your home, like a small corner that is still comfortable!.
Otherwise, you could take your things to a park, playground or other public space!.
Cafes are great because you can enjoy a snack and drink whilst writing, so you don't get bored or tired easily!.
At school, you could write in the library, such as a study corner where no one will disturb you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Are your family into anime!? If not, I would just tell them what you are doing when they ask you!. Be clear and detailed ("I'm writing a followup to episode x of such-and-such, exploring what might have happened if y hadn't died!.!.!.")!. If they are anything like mine were, they'll roll their eyes and never even ask to look at it!.

Alternatively, write in your bedroom in the evenings!. I mostly used to do that!. I'd never have dared write at school!.

Um, you are aware what you are writing, right!? You're not writing novels, you are writing fanfiction!. Look here and you'll see a vast website with a whole section for people who write about anime shows:

One idea is to learn shorthand, or develop your own version, so that your writing doesn't make sense to people trying to read over your shoulder!. Another is to write in the middle of something distracting, like with others watching tv, so they are less likely to notice you!. Good luck with your writing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

lunchtime in the library (or anytime in the library, perfect for moonlight writers, besides i love the library) my friend does anime too, but doesnt mind EVERYONE seeing it!Www@QuestionHome@Com

go down to a park or a cafe and take ur notebook-also a good way to pick up guys :p
I always write lyrics during class though so I know how you feel-i just say they're by some alternative band that no-one knows!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
