Hi Tory,

It looks like having a short and long author isn=E2=80=99t supported by the
beamer exporter out of the box.  Your best bet is probably to add this
line to the top of your org file to turn off the automatic generation
and insertion of \author by the export template:

#+OPTIONS: author:nil

Then, you can cause the appropriate line to be inserted in the export
output with this line (also at the top of the file):

#+LATEX_HEADER: \author[short-author]{Really \\long \\author}

Whatever is on the latex header line will be inserted in the output
verbatim, so you don=E2=80=99t need to (e.g.) add extra escaping to special
characters like backslashes as you would if they were processed by org.

Hope this is useful,
