File this under "you have got to be kidding me": someone who really should know better implied all non-shifter mpreg is omegaverse.
Is All Mpreg Omegaverse?

The Straights Can Pry Omegaverse from My Cold, Dead Hands

Recently, a social media site tried to entice me to buy a cishet OV romance novel. It was ... unhinged, to say the least.
The Coyote’s Veterinarian Omega Preview
T
The following is a preview for The Coyote’s Veterinarian Omega, the first book in the COYOTE CREEK series, available July 28, 2026! One Wyatt Bang! I gritted my teeth and gripped the steering wheel as the car bottomed out over another enormous rut. The gravel road had clearly washed out in some wicked rainstorm recently, leaving nothing but potholes for my rusting Kia to rattle over. If...
Do Omegaverse Dynamics Promote Toxic Relationships?

“Oh, here we go again …” (Liza Summer / Pexels.com) Recently, I was reminded of a screencap of a conversation that supposedly happened. When I saw it, all I could think was ah, the straights got a hold of the omegaverse. In this screencap, the texter was discussing their partner’s admission that they liked and read omegaverse fiction. The texter was sending a lengthy rumination...
The Multiverse of the Omegaverse
T
Omegaverse fiction, also known as a/b/o dynamics or a/b/o fiction, is having a moment. The trope really got its start in fanfic circles over a decade ago now. It’s only been in recent years that it’s made waves in the realm of indie publishing. Now, it seems, omegaverse is everywhere you look. At first blush, omegaverse is confusing. I’ve written a primer on this worldbuilding trope and how it...
Why Write Omegaverse Fiction?
W
I recently saw someone shorten “omegaverse” to “OV,” which I think means the trope has made it. Also known as alpha/beta/omega dynamics or a/b/o, omegaverse has become an incredibly popular and ever-more mainstream worldbuilding trope in romance. (Anne-Marie Gionet-Lavoie / Pexels.com) What is omegaverse fiction, and why bother writing it? I can’t give you insights for anyone else, but I can tell...
Is the Omegaverse Problematic?

By now, almost everyone and their mother has heard about the omegaverse. If you didn’t discover “wolf-kink porn” through the copyright debacle a few years ago, you might have heard of it when AIs seemed to devolve into writing a/b/o fics. That loaned support to the idea that AI had been trained on stolen fanfic—among other stories. (Ron Lach / Pexels.com) Whether you’re brand new to omegaverse or...
Mpreg and Transmisogyny
M
For International Women’s Day in the past, I’ve looked at topics like “what makes a woman” and other such topics. This year, I wanted to return to a topic I’ve written about before: mpreg and transphobia. Specifically, though, I wanted to look at how transmisogyny plays out in our mpreg stories. What Is Transmisogyny? Transmisogyny is the intersection between transphobia and misogyny. Transphobia...
Omegaverse Books I’m Looking Forward to in 2024
O
Omegaverse has taken off in the last five to ten years or so. With it, we’ve seen plenty of batshit crazy moments—like someone claiming to have “invented” it. We’ve also seen it cross over into the realm of M/F books, even if the trope was represented there early on. A lot of m/m and queer omegaverse is also mpreg, so I wanted to focus this post on books that were less firmly in that category...
The Male Omega: How Does That Even Work?
T
One of the staples in omegaverse worldbuilding is the use of the alpha-beta-omega system. Generally speaking, this is used to explain “gender” or “secondary sex.” (Manfred Neumair / Pexels.com) What that means is people are still men or women—or occasionally nonbinary. Yet they are also alpha or beta or omega. “Male” and “female” are often still in play as well. The alpha/beta/omega designations...
