After this decision, they separately wrote the first chapter for their half and then shared them with each other. The only plot they decided on together was the fact that the two characters would meet at some point in the novel and that their meeting would have a tremendous effect on their lives. This also held true for the main characters' names, with Levithan choosing the given name and Green the surname. John Green wrote all the odd-numbered chapters (capitalized Will Grayson) while David Levithan wrote all the even-numbered chapters (lower case will grayson). In designing the plot for the book, the two authors decided to split it evenly in half. It was the first LGBT-themed young adult novel to make it to that list. The novel debuted on The New York Times children's best-seller list after its release and remained there for three weeks. One boy is referred to with a capitalized letter at the start of his name, while the other is referred to in all lower case letters. The book's narrative is divided evenly between two boys named Will Grayson, with Green having written all of the chapters for one and Levithan having written the chapters for the other, presented in an alternating chapter fashion.
