Yes, I know what the Author does and it is a profession of recording stories, yadda yadda yadda. But has anyone else noticed that this concept has opened up a ton of holes?

For example, the "fairy tale" of Snow White REALLY happened in, what, the late 1970s, early 1980s (since that is when Regina placed the curse around the EF and brought everyone to Storybrooke). Okay, but now they are saying that Walt Disney was an Author. Okay, so he recorded all of these fairy tales DECADES before most of them even happened? The same goes for the Grimm Brothers, L. Frank Baum, J.M. Barrie, Lewis Carroll, etc. So they were all Authors, too?

And now that brings us to Frozen! So the writers/directors of Frozen are Authors as well? I don't get it at all. Can anyone explain this to me so that all of this makes sense?
