    I think Isaac wrote himself to other realms. If true, Henry is unable to do that since he snapped the Quill.

    I don’t know about that.  If his job was to record the stories, I think that might require him to travel there to be a witness.  He didn’t write himself into Cruella’s story at first.  He just showed up there.
    Of course, then again, the apprentice opened up the portal for him when he first got hired.  Maybe these things are all handled through the home office.

    Well we did literally see that the author can write people to other realms. He sent the whole of SB to his AU EF (except Henry of course). So I think it follow that Isaac could just write “Isaac appears in the fictional 1920s London” and he’s appear.

    I think Henry is still the Author, he is just not a the point where he is serving in his capacity. He doesn’t have the tools of the trade (the quill, ink).

    And doesn’t that mean that no story can ever be recorded ever again?

    I don’t think so. Another quill can be made. It just needs to come from that super special tree. And we know more ink can be procured from another ‘savior’.

    Do you need special ink to record history, or just to change the story?  Could Henry just use regular old ink?  Or squid ink?
    (The answer is yes.  You don’t need a special pen to record events.  He can break out his crayolas if he wants).

    And there are no more enchanted trees in the EF according to the BF and there are none in SB.

    Of course you can use any old thing to record events, but that’s not what make you the Author. The Author is defined as being chosen by the Quill to record with it using special ink.

    Well, we know the quill is special.  But we never saw the apprentice giving magical ink to the Author.  It could be that the magical ink is only for making up stories.

    But we’re going to Camelot! The Author and the Apprentice can seemingly go wherever they want. Isaac couldn’t because he didn’t have any ink.

    If there are Enchanted Trees in Camelot (and we don’t know if it is its own world or another off shoot of FTL, though the latter seems more likely given the connections to Camelot in show already) then fine. But for the *moment* there are no more enchanted trees.
