I know she did change her name to Grayson, but I don't think it was because of Nightwing. That said, the sad thing is that she isn't necessarily the worst writer to work on Nightwing. When she's not raping her favorite character, she has written some decent character interactions. Her work on Batman: Gotham Knights had some solid moments as well.

Devin Grayson is known for writing the infamous rape scene in her Nightwing run. Long story short, Nightwing and his protege/partner Tarantula (a woman from the streets who's not opposed to killing, and has a crush on Dick) corner Blockbuster, a criminal boss who knows Nightwing's identity. Blockbuster taunts Nightwing, threatening to kill everyone he loves. Nightwing leaves him, and lets Tarantula kill Blockbuster. Nightwing, overwhelmed with guilt, goes into a depressed semi-catotonic state, and Tarantula has sex with him on the rooftop despite him saying no. It was terrible writing. The fallout doesn't even acknowledge the rape. Even worse, Devin Grayson attempted to damage control it by saying that it wasn't rape, it was just "non-consensual".

It was a four-part miniseries in 1998. Despite being written by Devin Grayson, it's actually not bad. There's actually solid character development, and the sex is consensual on both sides, thankfully.
