I'm making no assumptions for now. I'm honestly unenthusiastic about this plot: I was okay with it along as it was just Regina's speculation, but now that Blue has confirmed the Author exists I'm… meh. I wouldn't like such a degree of predeterminism in the Onceverse, I was much more thrilled about heroes and villains making up their own path based on their good or bad choices. Many key events being based on three centuries of Rumple's manipulations were interesting, but all the stuff being written in advance would ruin the whole show's magic imo.

On a side note, I hope they'll address how come that what makes up all the fairytales, novels and legends of the Land Without Magic actually happened long after they were even written.
