I'm very confused now so it would help if you could tell me which one you're talking about: Omnipotence or Author Authority? Is there a difference between author authority wielding character and the actual author? What is the power of author writing characters wielding authority simular to his, is he counted as Metapotent? Is metapotence the power above all or does author authority include it? Ah, I see. I found a comment in TCC discussion, transfictional author authority is what stands above simple author authority given to a character. Shame, it could be an interesting page.

The conundrum I explained works for real authors though. Those who love their work obsessively. You end it on a perfect note but it just keeps scratching on your soul that you love it all and want more of it to exist. The only exit seems to be either letting go or handing rights to other authors.

Salt on the wound.
