Because it shows up in the cover, and when I open my file in CoolReader, there's the incorrect author and it drives me bonkers.

When I convert the file to epub, the first line of the cover generated by calibre is the title, the second line is the author. That second line contains what's written in the head tag, so calibre must read it in order to create the cover. What it doesn't do is search and replace it with the correct author.

So I have to correct the head tag; at this point it doesn't matter whether it's via calibre or another program. I cannot leave it as is just because when I read the html file I don't see it. It causes something to happen, and that something then results in incorrect information. Am I making myself clear?

(Plus it just plan bothers me and my OCD tendencies when something is not correct. I am working around it at the moment by making calibre read metadata from file names instead of html tags, which is why I'm trying to find a naming scheme which would work both for fics that belong to a series and those that don't.)
