Maybe all the writers in the word had just travel to the worlds where time was different. Maybe they had een cursed each thing they write to be real. So many possibilities. See I don't think the authors would be their "creators" as such. Remember when Jefferson was trying to convince Emma that all the stories were real, she claimed they were just stories to which he replied "And where do stories come from? Imagination? That has to come from somewhere?".

This has me thinking the authors were actually, on some level, psychic. This meant they were able to see into the other worlds via dreams or premonitions. However, like Rumple's precognitive abilities they were faulty and could only see portions of their stories; like looking at a puzzle with the pieces missing. This is what causes the great variation between what is written and what "really" happened. They acted somewhat as a conduit between this world and the others.
