: Re: How do I write gray vs grey stories? I've been kind of interested in writing a grey vs gray story. For those who don't know grey vs gray is two or more sides of conflict that aren't full

Remember two things:

"no man is all of one stripe" meaning that people are always multi-faceted, villains who seemingly care only for power still love their children and pacifists who wouldn't raise and hand in their own defense may well kill to protect theirs.
"people's motives most always seem good to them" people can usually rationalise their way to feeling justified in their actions no matter how extreme.

By showing that neither side are all one thing, good or evil and by showing the reasons that they feel justified in their actions you can have two sides that are at each other's throats but neither one comes out smelling of roses and neither one looks truly villainous once the dust settles.
