Having ways to categorise creative writing would be a good thing, but I
don't think defining them as subtype of Article makes sense semantically. A
poem, novel or movie script is not an article.

How about creating CreativeWork > WrittenWork, moving wordCount, pageEnd,
pageStart and pagination from Article there, and making Article and
CreativeWriting subtypes of WrittenWork?
