Alpha Omega Dynamics and what has taken over my fics... and apparently my manga
I started reading shounen ai and yaoi when I was in college. Mostly because I outrgew shojou in its sweet romances, and shounen ai sometimes afforded more social nuances than shoujo (and sometimes the smut in yaoi was better than smut in shoujo... go figure)
I started reading slash fanfic many years later, mostly I was reading themes of it from AO3's tag list. If I wanted a story I would follow it's tags. Then, I didn't have a pairing. At that time a lot of wolf stories were abound in traditional fiction, mates and scent bonding in the like. On the BL side, there were a couple of mpreg stories, becuase after reading yaoi, shounen ai it's natural progression to want your OTP to get pregnant and procreate, right? Right, so beyond adoption and since we're already dealing with fantastic in fics let's give them mpreg.
A/B/O is actually the love child of all of the mating wolf/dragon (were) fantasy with alpha males with mpreg.
I actually did read a lot of these wolf paranormal romances, and I read some good mpreg. I've been away from the manga world for quite some time, so imagine my surprise when I came back and searched for tags in Baka-Manga and saw... Omegaverse in them.
I tried reading some of these manga, and surprise, in the beginning of each tankobon, there's an explanation saying that omegaverse started in Europe and US and the basic dynaics of it and whatever elements they adapted in their manga.
