first, thanks for the suggestions!
the main place I want to see the new author entry is on my kindle, so tags/collections/etc in calibre won't do what I'm looking for. from what I can tell of the bulk metadata feature (which I do use for multiple fics by the same author), it can only replace the entire author field, not add something to it... the search & replace specifically wouldn't help with the issue of wanting to add it to fics from multiple authors, as far as I can see; searching "AuthorX" to replace with "AO3 & AuthorX" doesn't seem to be any simpler or less cumbersome than manually adding "AO3" as another author on each fic as I download them (again, with the possible exception of multiple fics by one author downloaded together). maybe it would be helpful to add that I'm downloading fics piecemeal, in that I download new ones or newly-recommended ones on a daily basis, not in periodic large groups.
again, I do appreciate the suggestions, and if I'm missing something about them, please don't hesitate to point it out.
