It never occurred to me that updating a fanfic would result in last_modified being changed on other documents that hadn't been flagged for updating.

So you can testify that it didn't work that way in calibre 0.9? That it is a change that's happened in calibre 1.0?

FFDL isn't modifying the other books. calibre's DB keeps (or did keep) the author link in a separate table from the books. I can make that update optional, or only for new authors, or only when changed.
But if the calibre behavior has changed, we should open a bug with calibre and get it changed back.
Attached is a version that doesn't ever set or change author link if you care to use it in the mean time.
