I've been writing a couple of ideas for anime series and posting it here because it's just something that was just being born out of my mind without much effort but it was really hampering my ability to do my job. Found out writing it down helped and since I figured it was highly unlikely to be published due to my name is non existant in the industry and that I'm an American.

So I just figured when I am writing it to show to a small community to read it and maybe to get some comments on it. Only one comment on it so far but since people are reading it, I want to still let people read what I have written but now it's outgrown the OP section and I dont know if there's a site that I can have it unlisted except for people I link it too and have a view counter to see how many people have read it or would keeping it on bay12 and have a different setup work out better for what I want?

google drive?

If your user base has google accounts, then the sharing can be done on a per account basis.

mega.nz provides encryption and 5 gigs of free storage. That's plenty for writing.

You can send keys to files, which can be downloaded without an account or viewed with an account.

Dropbox also has link access only settings.

Writing an "anime"? I recommend being more careful with the terminology. If it's a short story series then a Japanese person would call those webnovels or light novels, even if they had in mind that it could be an anime one day. As rule of thumb, 200 pages of light novel tends to amount to about 4 episodes of anime once they adapt it.

One thing to keep in mind is that since you're not native Japanese then you're missing out a lot of context from those shows. Subs can't get much of that nuance. So, yeah you could write a Japanese-influenced story then get it translated into Japanese. However it's likely that you'd only be presenting them with stuff they already have, but without the cultural and linguistic layers that their normal stuff has. Remember, the specific plot and events in an adventure series aren't really as important as relatable characters and dialogue.

See you edited there, OP. Maybe a free PHP forum would do you well. No one will really stumble on there unless they're /really/ searching.

You could also start a blogspot or other free blog, which will equally get zero traffic. Especially if your key words are 'manga', 'anime', etc. It's in a sea of weeb and unlikely to be notoced in searches.

If it's just for fun and you're not attempting to make it into a living, then those should be fine.

Well, it was just a couple of anime ideas. I could probably write it as a light novel but I enjoy thinking about how it would look like a as I am watching it.

Well, I was looking places that are trusted vs something that I come across.

if you don't want it found, livejournal or myspace

[SquatchHammer]

Wait, Myspace is still around?!

[Reelya]

Yeah of course it is. Just because a site is less popular than before doesn't mean it ceases to exist.
