That's probably slight overkill, in that you don't need to go as far as
getting back to the view and calling save(commit=False).
You got the cleaning process exactly right the first time. Looks like
the only thing that is going "wrong" (it's going right, actually --
doing exactly what you specified) is that the author field is required
by the model and hence by the ModelForm. Since the field's validation
includes checking "required-ness" and, if that fails, clean_*() isn't
called, you're seeing the problem.
You can set
self.field["author"].required = False
in your form's __init__ method to avoid this.
