This project was terminated prematurely. During the very first round of permission questions, the mods of /r/WritingPrompts did ban the bot. I was told that I should've asked the community first if there is acceptance. I couldn't convince the mods to let me ask them after the fact. Unless anybody else can ask if /r/WritingPrompts wants an E-Book bot, there is no reason for me to finish this project.
