Description
Problem
On the new story form, the story author dropdown only includes active facilitators. This mirrors the issue with "story spotlighted" — we need to choose from all facilitators, not just active ones.
Additionally, some facilitators were never entered into the CMS, or we only have their first name, so they aren't selectable at all.
Proposal
- Story author dropdown pulls from all facilitators (not just active)
- Provide an option to type in a free-text author name for facilitators not in the CMS, or where we only have a first name

Research direction
Start at the new story form and trace how its story-author dropdown loads facilitators, especially the active-only filtering. Check the related “story spotlighted” behavior for context. Done means all facilitators are selectable and an author absent from the CMS, or represented only by a first name, can be entered as free text.
