HOW do you think the peddler/ author changed the story? What kind of impact do you think he had / has? IS he the cause of the upcoming war between good and bad? Can he still change the story in the future?
I would like your input as I am still contemplating this development …. I will be back later to expound on what I think.

[adrotate group="5"]March 30, 2015 at 11:11 am #300279mousearsParticipantI posted this on another author thread, but, here’s my crack theory – all authors/recorders of history have the sight (ability to see the future) as part of their gift and they can see in advance several outcomes of each story, however, the character has to make the choice for his/her path. (I also think that the Sorcerer and his Apprentice also can see the future) . The last faithful author was Walt (aka Walt Disney) who as an author/recorder and during his time stories ended with “and they lived happily ever after”, and he then went on to record the next story. Also as he had the “sight”, he was able to provide to people in the land without magic the stories we know today. Using the timeline on the forum and Disney’s date of death (12/15/66), you can see how the stories we know started to change from that specific point forward – hence when the new/current Author took over and began to manipulate the stories.Using this theory all the stories we’ve been told in OUAT was a direct result of the Author’s (aka Peddler) manipulation up until the Evil Queen enacted the curse and created Storybrooke (if you look at a screen shot right before the Author is locked in the page he is writing about the Evil Queen). Both Rumple, the Sorcerer and the Apprentice having the sight knew that Emma, was the Savior, and through her the happy endings which this Author took away would be brought back and the stories could start to correct themselves. I believe that ultimately, the role of the author will go to Henry when he grows up as he has the heart of the truest believer.

I think the author manipulates events then writes the fallout. For example, Snowing were heading home when the author stopped them and sent them in the other direction thus causing the events which led to Mal losing her child.
All magic comes with a price!

The Author acted like a Dungeon Master in a role playing game instead of a neutral observer. But even in a role player game, the players have free will. They are put into situations by the DM but they choose how to react to them.
Maybe the Sorcerer is like a non-playable character in the game.. When the Heroes appear, they HAVE to provide them what they ask for. Blue Fairy is another non-playable character in the game. She gives info only when the Heroes ask directly. She never volunteers info.
I think that the Apprentice/Sorcerer and Blue have rules. They can only answer direct questions or pleas.
The Dark One and and now the Author subvert the natural order by being agents of chaos. Zozo did the same to Rumple that the Author did to Snow. But Rumple and Snow CHOSE what to do with the information.
