    I have deleted my 600+ articles. I don't have the time and patience to delete all the photos. It was quite the task to move everything. I'll do what I can to keep writing, one way or another.

    I have written an article about HubPages and TAG. It can be found on Medium and Vocal.Media. It should come up if you search "HubPages" on either site. If you have trouble finding it, you can email me: AndreaLawrenceWriting@gmail.com.

    Wishing everyone well as things close down.

    Thank you to the HubPages staff who have gone through the trials and tribulations of this platform. My frustrations have more to do with TAG.

    This platform gave me a chance to find an audience, make friends, and earn a bit on the side. It was fun working with editors. I had something like 43 million views, which I don't know if I can repeat somewhere else!

    It's been a wild ride.

    Cheers,

    -- Andrea

      Aloha to Everyone,

      HubPages will be missed. I just finished deleting the rest of my articles. Don't know where to go next.

      Best wishes to everyone

        Medium is alright. I’ve seen a recent uptick in views at Vocal.Media. Enough that I reached payout. Royal Road is popular for webnovel writing. Don’t do webnovel.com. It’s sketchy as can be.

        A lot of HP people have jumped on Medium. It might be easier to find community there.

      Fantastic article - thank you. I wasn't aware of all the changes over the last five years. I'll be sharing it with anyone else who I know from Hubpages.

        Thank you, I appreciate it! There is a lot going on that’s compelling. I hope we can make some ripples. I hope you are doing well.

    Unfortunately, I was not able to delete my articles even though they said we would have until the end of this month to do so. So, they will still be here even if I don't want them to be.

    Edit:  I was able to delete my articles. Several of them were featured and did quite well, too.

    I would like to say Goodbye, also, but I can't start my own thread.
