Summary
This is my personal version of the omegaverse, based off of all the versions I’ve read in fanfiction, posts about the omegaverse, etc. I’ve taken my favorite tropes, dynamics, and details, and have attempted to compile them into one cohesive version of the omegaverse. This universe would be considered more “Non-traditional Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics” than the more typical, but I don’t believe that there’s a wrong way to write the omegaverse. There are no set rules. It’s all freeform.
In this “Omegaverse Encyclopedia,” there's history, laws, traditions, information about ruts and heats, hormones, and so much else. Worldbuilding is the best part of creating a story to me so it's basically all the world-building without the characters or fandom.

A/B/O: Adventures in Fake Science. by Hells Bartender (Firebog)
Fandoms: Unspecified Fandom
02 Aug 2016

Summary
This is an attempt to bash weird porny a/b/o dynamics fiction over the head with science. Not that anyone asked for it.
So how the hell does a/b/o sex determination work? And why did a trinary sex determination system evolve in higher vertebrates alongside a binary sex determination system? Why aren't omega males dying in droves from massive uterine infections? Alpha females, what's up with that? Come on in and I shall tell you the very best in fake science and evolutionary history.
Part theorizing, part helpful guide. This one goes out to all you people who just want fictional worlds to make sense. I'm right there with you.
