Grey

Author's Note and Behind the Scenes of Grey

Hello everyone! Grey is officially finished and I'm so excited! And, guess what? Chapter One of the sequel has been released and there's more to come! Another Author's note, Feathers and Fur is the sequel to Grey, so don't be misled. And the 'After Grey: One Last Call' was a little present for all the patient fans.

BEHIND THE SCENES

Grey, in my mind was supposed to be a quick story, under 5000 words. But when people began to review saying they wanted more, I was motivated to make it a bigger story. This continued until when the story came to its end. I'm happy so many people loved it! I only wished that the story had more favorites and followers, but otherwise I enjoyed it.

As you may have known, I typed each chapter in-between a two day radius, and sometimes I released two chapters a day. Because, I don't know if you know, but I've written over 110,000 words. It may not be much to you, but it is to me. Juggling writing, school work, and other important things, I spent most of my late April, May and June nights writing Grey and several other stories.

I never expected so many people to enjoy Grey, I thought it was a pile of crap to begin with, but it was very nice to see people enjoying it. I am very pleased with the encouragement, and the very amazing reviews I got since the stories beginning. Here are some of the best reviews I got;

From DawnAscendance: Okay, honestly. I absolutely loved this story. You're 13-14 years old and delving into worlds I haven't even attempted to touch yet, and I'm 21. The events that transpired throughout this story were creative and original to say the least. I'm usually not a big fan of O.C.'s, but you actually had me grow to like Riley and the others. They were all compelling characters. You are probably one of the most active Morby authors on here, and I applaud you for that. I wish I had as much time as you to be pumping out chapters like this and still keep the story great. You have talent, I will tell you that. All I'm saying, is you've got me hooked on this story. The ending had me wanting to enter this awesome world and strangle the hell out of Rigby's dad! Lol. With this story being so amazing, I beg of you to continue with a sequel as soon as possible. I am dying to see what happens. There's got to be a happier ending to this! Please. Sequel. Soon. Must. Read. That is all. :)

And from TheSilentEyes: Well that's that. Rigby's gone and both he and Mordecai are yearning to see each other again.

The worst part is that it's all that skank, Margaret's fault. It all makes sense. She was a bitch before, but since all the tension going on was mainly borne by her, she's on a whole new level; she's a SuperBitch SB.

I can't believe this how it ends for them. It was sweet everyone pitched in to do that thing for Rigby, even though his so-called Dad is trying to prevent any contact between them whatsoever. What an abusive dick.

I just wish there was still hope for them.

If you ever plan on doing a sequel, maybe you could focus it on their lives, as it is in the series, with them working together at the park, including some of your amazing OCs such as Riley and Felix, or you could make the sequel begin from little after Rigby left, and all the things that occur, until they are able to actually be together again. Whatever you decide to do for a sequel is YOUR decision and your's only.

This is your story. It doesn't matter what others think about it. What matters is how you feel about.

Anyways I think I've said enough. Thank you for the amazing story and good luck with your other works.

Until next time. Adiós mi amigo.

And from NightWatcher: Life won't be the same for neither of those two. Man this ending *sob* was so sad, I almost unbelievable. I liked it though; you mentioned something about a sequel so, there may still be hope for them to reunite again. After all, you can't cloak true love with a long cloak of darkness that stretches for miles upon miles, as that love will be the light to guide both souls towards each other.

As a jolly man once said,

"Good show! Good show indeed!"

See ya.

Thanks for all the good reviews, even if you didn't get mentioned, I am pleased with the people who liked this story.

Thanks for reading Grey and I hope you guys will continue to stick with me for the sequel.

See you guys later.

MORBY FOREVER
