Have had written

Hi

Is it a good construction:

Look at these two articles which I have had written for me some time ago.
  

Top answer

Do you mean that you got someone else to write them for you? Say Look at these two articles which I had written for me some time ago. Do you mean that you wrote them yourself?

"that" would be more natural than "which".

Yes, that's what I meant. I thought that the construction is "to have something done" by someone and that's why I wrote "which I have had written"
