Trivia / The Sisters Of Dorley

Go To

  • Line to God: Alyson Greaves is active on social media, and occasionally drops bits of backstory, lore, hints, and teasing about the past and future of Dorley.
  • Sleeper Hit: While taking a break from her ongoing vampire novel Glow, Worm, Greaves started what she expected to be a brief (~30K words) Take That! fiction lambasting the NHS' terrible transgender healthcare. Over 530,000 words later, the series has wildly eclipsed her other works in length, with no signs of slowing down anytime soon, and developed a devoted fanbase largely through word-of-mouth on social media.
  • What Could Have Been: In the original concept of Dorley Hall, Melissa was Stef's sponsor.
  • Word of God: Greaves occasionally shares pieces of lore, backstory, and worldbuilding on social media.
  • Write What You Know: Greaves is a British trans woman, and The Sisters of Dorley grew out of her own experiences with trans healthcare through the NHS.
