There's a difference here between "author" and "writer". Magrs is the writer and Bafflegab is the author. CzechOut specifically says here that direct statements by authors to Tardis are not to be used. He does say that the Vienna thread treated Big Finish as the author, but only temporarily, and he calls the writers who appeared in the thread "authors". Drawing a difference between "author" and "writer" at all is nonsense, since they're literally dictionary synonyms.
