Really, what is this? What is with the feature thing?
Seriously, this whole hubpages thing where they wont publish your hub if it doesn't meet the standards of educational hubs, well where are the standards for creative hubs, and can we get a seperate section for them if this is what is going to be happening, I dont see poems getting unpublished for the same reason, so why should my long form ones be punished?
Unfortunately, poems do get punished this way. At one point, well over half of my 150 or so poems were "not featured". Mostly due to "insufficient engagement" not for be substandard quality. I went through the task of splitting some poems into two text capsules and adding a second image. Suddenly, they had sufficient engagement and were featured again! I thought this really silly so I just gave up.
There are some standards for creative writing hubs published on the HubPages blog. I'm sure you can find them if you look there. Not that they were particularly helpful, at least to me.

Poems are a good example. They're not helping the subdomain, but they've become such pets, that the hubber still wants to keep them around on the profile page.

If so, how much would that cost? How would I find one? Here's the thing. I'm 69. I have at least 3 big projects I'd like to do. Of course, at 69, I have to choose carefully - especially since the one I THINK I really want to do would take me a few years. (One of...

I really don't have a problem changing things so that they "comply" with the current standards. I just really need to know what the standards ARE? I just got notification that two of my hubs have been "unfeatured." One of them has only one link outside of...

I often intend to put a module either within my hub, or at the end, that might include some standard text/a link, e.g. that says "Copyright Me (Year) - Please do not copy and paste this article, but feel free to post a link using this url ....." or "Join Hubpages by clicking...
