I feel like the Author's going to screw everyone over.

He says that he's making a world where the heroes lose and villains win, but, in this new world. The villains are the old heroes. And he's doing more than just changing memories, since he gave Snow White magic, so it seems he's altering the world on a fundamental level, at least as much as magic can.

My guess is that he's making it so that the 'heroes' of this world, Regina, Rumplestitskin, etc. all lose, while the 'villains', Snow, Charming, all win. Therefore, in a way, everyone loses. The new Rumple, Regina, all wind up dead, or worse, and the old Snow, etc. all have their legacies permanently tarnished.
