==Trivia==
*August states that the job of the Author "goes back eons from the man who watched shadows dance across cave walls and developed an entire philosophy". This is a reference to the Greek philosopher Plato, and his Allegory of the Cave.
*August names one man who held the position as Walt. This is a direct reference to Walt Disney, the famed American cartoonist, animator, film producer, and the co-founder of The Walt Disney Company. Walt Disney died on December 15, 1966, the same date on the letter the Apprentice sent to Isaac Heller. The Apprentice mentions how the last Author just passed away.
*If an Author writes their own happy ending, the person will be demoted from the title of the Author; the quill will lose its power.
*Under normal circumstances, an Author is unable to use the quill to bring somebody back from the dead, according to Mr. Gold, Isaac and the Apprentice. However, the Apprentice explains that the rules are more flexible down in the Underworld, after warning Henry not to resurrect Cruella De Vil.
