If I unpublish stories on another website is it okay to then publish them on Hub Pages?

Yes, you can do that. But you should wait until it is deindexed by the search engines or it will be flagged as a duplicate.

Thank you for your answers. How long does it take to deindex and artilce? A week/ a month?

I tried this when I first signed up for Hubpages but the content was constantly returned as 'duplicate'I suggest you submit only unique articles.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
