Diotima After Dark

With the whole Winterlude (NSFW) short vignette finally done, I thought it might be time for another Questions No One Asked. In this edition, you get to learn about how I prep to write about someone in a spicy story and hey, maybe you’ll get a little bit of real life lore too!

NSFWish for mentions of sex, discussion of sex lives, and potty mouthed tieflings.

So Diotima, do you ever write about people you know in your, you know, spicy stories?

I mean, I just wrote about Vul and Runar so yes? But you probably mean “other people aside from Vul and Runar” and like… no, not as of yet. So… okay. Maybe TMI, but I need to either have to have done ‘field research’ into how they approach the spicy or I need to interrogate them I mean have a lovely discussion with them about their spicy. Actually both is best, so I can sort of understand their approach, you know?

What do you mean by field research?

Oh come on, you just want me to say I have to have had sex with them. So yeah, there you go. It’s a lot easier to write someone in spicy scenes if we’ve like… done our own spicy things, obvs.

I… I actually didn’t know! So uh. Wow. Anyway. Moving on…

Oh no, let me explain in detail! It’s all gasps and tongues and shivers and probably some biting and occasionally-

I GET IT.

Pfhahahaha omg your face….

Anyway MOVING ON… you… so you say you interrogate people? So you what, asked Vul about her sex life before you came along?

Hn. Yep!

Wasn’t that awkward? Like… knowing about that?

So okay ha ha ha true story, we both were kind of like… socially inept at the whole flirting thing and trying to impress each other when we were ‘just friends,’ so we waaaaaay overshared and then it was like ‘well fuck, we’re now kind of lovers and we know all of those things’ and we both had some angst (me moreso, tbh) but we got over it and kind of eventually moved into ‘this is kind of fun to talk about.’ I think all seriousness, it was like… neither of us ever got to really share, we both were made to feel ‘wrong’ for our feelings and likes for different reasons, and it was nice to just finally be with someone who could, you know, way overshare and listen to my overshares without being like ‘what the fuck, Dio?’

Oh, okay. That is definitely something. So back to the whole ‘writing about people you know,’ have you written about other people you know?

No and… no. Okay so here’s my view right? Writing about someone that way requires knowing them well enough to write them accurately, sure, but also… I would not write about someone without their consent. Runar is a special case and I’m not going to get into that today, but like… yeah. I would feel icky writing about someone without their explicit consent.

Okay so this is a weird question but would you sex your alt self?

Pfhahaha WHAT?! Where the fuck did that come from?! Oh my gods, no!! Why would I… are you serious right now? Oh gods, that would be so weird, why the fuck would I ever… fuck nooooooooo!! Oh yuck, why would you ask that? Is this like, a kink of yours or something??

Okay, but not me but like actual true story? I had an ex who was like, sort of obsessed with the idea. Don’t ask bc I have no idea why. She was totally a narc tho. Yeah shut up I choose poorly sometimes.

Would you sex alt Vul, then?

Uh, that’s cheating?

Even if she were cool with it, which she would not be, and even if I wanted to, which I absolutely do NOT, I can’t imagine it would be anything but freaky weird. Ick. No.

Where the fuck are these ‘would you do the weird thing’ questions coming from? Like… what?

Because you’ve been writing about alt Dio and I wanted to know if alt you was… a thing. I was not trying to be weird!

Ohhhhhh right. Yeah, no. I enjoy writing it, but no. She can have her alt reality and I’ll keep mine.

Final question. How much of your Winterlude story was based on true events?

Hn. Well. Remember ‘field research?’ So…

Yeah no, use your imagination, and maybe take Vul at her word that it was an accurate portrayal of her, yeah?

But-

Nope you said that was the last one! Ask next time. Byeeeee.
