Lack of enforcement is not the same as a rule not existing. Not getting caught, likewise, is not the same as compliance.
The housing market is a great example of that. For a long time, and on most servers, it wasn't complained about, and so they were probably largely unaware. Complaints happened, they stepped in and said "um, yeah, we consider that pretty much RMT, so... don't do that". The same thing happened with art commissions, and I doubt very many people even were complaining about that. The important thing to take away from it is that SE does not want players to be trading for things which the game itself is not inherently set up to accommodate with its own systems (e.g. there's no system in the game for selling a house, ergo you may not sell a house; there's no system in the game for selling artwork, ergo you may not sell artwork).Â
Selling runs of content falls under the same category. Loads of RMT websites offer those kinds of services and it's all bannable... if you get caught, or, if they decide they want to crack down on it. See my first sentence up above. It's the same principle at work. There's no system in the game for selling content runs, ergo you may not sell content runs.
I don't think there's a system in the game for selling writing, either...
Edit: Just to be perfectly clear - as I stated in a previous post, I don't personally care what somebody does in a situation like this. It doesn't affect me in the least. The OP just seems to write nicely and so I thought to offer a word of caution. She can do with it as she pleases.
