Understanding Author-function with Others

I went on the word of Professor McGuire and searched up Author-function and a blogger named Scriberuslives had many things to say in relation to herself a s an author-function.

http://scribleruslives.blogspot.com/2006/12/displaced-author-function-seeks-new.html

She speaks of text as standing by itself. In this essence the author dies. The author-function is made not by the person who writes but by the writer. She says that she in person is not scriberuslives. She instead is a individual, seperate from the author and the text. The text is the result or even creation of the author. The author creates this text but she explains it as being indepenedant. The text stands independantly away from the author bot being a result and also having/creating its own identity.

She then talks about if a person had actually come along and wrote like Scribleus. Would those words be any less Scriblus like? Especially if the issues at hand were similar, would the writing be different. She is Scriberluslives, speaking in the "voice" of Scriberlus. She is yet a seperate person but also an author writing in the same style as another author.
