The author of most of the Nobilis work is Jenna K. Moran. I'm unsure if this remark is independent of LW or not. The Third Edition (where that quote is from) was published this year, so it is possible that LW influenced it.

Edit: Also, serious memetic hazard warning with regard to her fiction blog, which is linked from the article.
