I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'works written under their authors' real names' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'term for' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'for' could be 'to' (eg both can mean 'in the opinion of') and 'to' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
