"Author Authority is a fictional power, as is every other power on this wikia." Question: Can you create, write and edit freely a story in which a fictional representation of yourself is a character? If your answer is no, you are probably blond, illiterate or have lost the use of every body part that would permit you writing or typing, in which cases, you shouldn't even be able to reply. As for the second part of your first sentence, tell that to the Real Powers Category.

"And we are talking about fiction, not real life." Took you quite some time to figure out that I was talking about a transfictional Author since the beginning. You'd find it quite obvious if you used deduction while reading my replies.

"It doesn't matter what the creator does, as he doesn't really have any control over what happens to his characters. He just makes the character [...]" I'm talking about the writer here, not the creator. They are not always one in the same. And you're saying that you would have no control over the plot of a story you wrote yourself?

"[...] but anyone else can easily come in and change it. After all, thats what hacking is all about." Aaand? The who user of Author Authority is is completely irrelevant to my position.

"Is the person hacking the character considered the author? No, they are just someone who came along and decided to change it." First, yes they do. As the hacker acquires the power to edit the original Author's character(s) and story, they usurp the status of supreme authority, becoming the new Author of the verse. And second l fail to see how this refutes my point that "Author Authority (the power itself l not its user) trumps every single power in fiction?

"In the grand scheme of things, author authority isn't all the great a power, especially when anyone can literally take the authors place in the right circumstances." And never have I said it was the greatest power. I said it trumps every single power in fiction. In real life, it's actually common as anyone can create and write a story. Heck, a user of most Real Powers could defeat your average writer with ease.

Keep in mind that I am very picky when it comes to the words I use. Unless the phrase is figurative, what you read is what I mean, so when I say "Author Authority trumps every single power in fiction," I mean "Author Authority trumps every single power in fiction." Not "Author Authority is the greatest power there is" nor "The Author is the most powerful being in reality." Unless your arguments address the point that "Author Author trumps every single power in fiction," they are irrelevant in proving my position wrong.
