All the author reveal really means is that there's more going on now. Dipper's objective has always been to find the author, and now it's almost done. It's going to take a few episodes for that to settles down of course, expecially since the author is is grandfather O.O

It also means we can focus more on the actualplot rather that just Dipper's; namely, Bill's plan. Whatever Bill is planning will probably come into effect during the rest of the season. Seeing as how Bill wanted the portal to activate, I'm guessing the rest of the season will be littered with consequences for activating it. The author, not only will help them, but is necessary for whatever the wheel means. Introducing him at the end of the series would leave Bill's plan to stretch out through another season, along with the meaning of the wheel.
