Do you worry about where your hub will end up?
I had a kind of odd one not long ago. A law-school student e.mailed me about a Hub I'd written in defense of the Barbie doll. Several months ago West Virginia had some legislator who had proposed banning the sale of the doll, and this student was writing an argument that opposed the banning. He asked if he could use my Hub as part of his argument, and said he'd give me proper credit. When I wrote that Barbie Hub it was after writing another, researched, article about the doll; so the Hub was just "ranting and raving" from my own point-of-view. So, the moral to that story is sometimes even the opinion-only type of Hubs may get interest from someone.
I don't know what, if anything, happens to law-school arguments; but, particularly since this school is a town away from where I live, it was kind of nice to be asked. (but Barbie dolls - of all things.
) I've never really worried about where writing may end up, though. I figure, I'm careful about what I write, in terms of wording very differently when something isn't a matter of research; and on researched things, if I were to end up with a bad fact I'd be more than willing to correct it and acknowledge that. By the time I'm ready to hit, "publish", I'm pretty comfortable with it.I wouldn't worry about it if I were you. If you cite sources of where you've obtained your info, that should suffice. I leave links to sources in some of my hubs. When I have read articles concerning anything health related, in magazines, newspapers, online, sources are always cited. Then it is up to the reader.
That's enough to make a person have the urge to start to wonder if
1. We should only post our most mediocre stuff on the Internet (and save the better stuff for print or else bottoms of desk drawers).
2. We'd be better off posting the same stuff in so many places it will be yet more firmly attached to our name.
I know there's rules/reasons not to do either of the above (particularly Number 2), but it's pretty tempting not to just go by the same free-for-all/low-standards "rules" so many other people on the Internet go by.
Im afraid I'll drop it in the pool
