This looks amazing and further increases my respect for Michael Hartl. I don't really have publishing intentions, yet making this as seamless as it is should allow people who have talent and desire to publish their works easily.

I see that Michael is answering questions here, so here is one. If someone decides to publish... let's skip anarchy, let's say erotic and porn novels, is this still game?

Now that I think this through, someone can use toolchain and get their stuff published anyway, I would just like to know, where are boundaries of your service?



Thanks for the kind words. We might not choose to highlight titles that could invite controversy (especially not early on), but our intent is to produce a flexible publishing tool that is limited only by the imagination of the author. If that imagination includes, e.g., erotica, I wouldn't in principle have any objections, especially if (as I would generally recommend to most authors) they opted to use a custom domain name.
