The Author thing works like this (all my opinion): The stories are not related to the Land Without Magic's fairytales.

The Author chosen by Merlin and the Apprentice record stories and they run into even stories they heard about in the magical realms.

Walt Disney may have recorded Cora's story in a book, but in Walt's world, the Miller's daughter is a tale hundreds of years old.

The Author just records whatever story is interesting and sometimes there might be a coinnection between their world and others.

Example: Isaac wrote Cruella's story in the Book (or notepad), but in the LWM around the same time, the real world Author wrote 101 Dalmatians. Those aren't connected. That author made up that story, but The Author Isaac interacted with those "imaginary" characters, even before they existed.
