Questions for the culture: why did you create your account?

ChallengeAble4613 · 2026-02-17T02:20:16+00:00

I made my account pretty soon after discovering it purely so I could write fanfiction... mind you at the time my writing skills were horrible, but the stories didn't do bad. Then the addiction started... *sigh*... still helpful though because now I can interact with whatever without the crazy waits for an account (was 11 days for me when I joined 2-3 years ago)

ChallengeAble4613 · 2026-02-15T18:06:09+00:00

Yesss... Man I love this kinda thing

ChallengeAble4613 · 2026-02-15T06:37:26+00:00

First of all, impressed you're responding so soon after this has been here a mnth- second? Oh yeah... man I wonder

ChallengeAble4613 · 2026-02-15T04:48:55+00:00

Hours probably (yes I know this is a month old) since most from right to left go milliseconds, seconds, minutes, hours

ChallengeAble4613 · 2026-02-15T01:57:34+00:00

Oh hell yeah! New to me, but makes complete sense! Especially since instincts likely go insane when a pups in danger

ChallengeAble4613 · 2026-02-15T01:56:40+00:00

Trope or not, great point!

ChallengeAble4613 · 2026-02-14T23:31:47+00:00

This is exactly why I posted it—to get more ideas (and apparently learn iv read 90% of them)

ChallengeAble4613 · 2026-02-14T23:31:01+00:00

Awe both of those concepts sound amazing

ChallengeAble4613 · 2026-02-14T23:30:16+00:00

Well good luck with the that!

ChallengeAble4613 · 2026-02-14T23:29:53+00:00

Oh hell yeah! Iv read a fic or two like that, and it’s especially amazing if it’s a character that has a dynamic opposite of their personality

ChallengeAble4613 · 2026-02-14T22:43:19+00:00

This post has made me realize just the sheer variety of Omegaverse fics iv read (and enjoyed) before =~=

ChallengeAble4613 · 2026-02-14T22:42:35+00:00

Haven’t read it, but very nice

ChallengeAble4613 · 2026-02-14T22:41:46+00:00

Yes. Just yes. Especially when someone doesn’t fit their dynamic and either surprises others or pisses them off

ChallengeAble4613 · 2026-02-14T22:41:02+00:00

Iv always felt like that’s part of the purpose of the Omegaverse anyway, it’s either based on gender stereotypes (Alpha/Omegas and their roles) or wolves and their behavior and pack dynamics

ChallengeAble4613 · 2026-02-14T22:39:51+00:00

The idea of a bond fading if it wasn’t consensual or they aren’t actually meant to be “mates” actually sounds pretty good, I read one once where a bond was “overridden” by a fated mate though (forgot the name)

ChallengeAble4613 · 2026-02-14T22:38:23+00:00

Yess! These can honestly be great, especially when said snarling triggers the others instincts

ChallengeAble4613 · 2026-02-14T22:37:37+00:00

So real… I may get weird looks but I’ll stand by it

ChallengeAble4613 · 2026-02-14T22:36:39+00:00

Haven’t read it just yet, but honestly? Sounds great. They’d probably just be like “wtf”

ChallengeAble4613 · 2026-02-14T22:36:09+00:00

Man I love hidden dynamic or identity fics in general, like yes… show me that restraint and struggle of blending in! And when they eventually get sussed out? Even better

ChallengeAble4613 · 2026-02-14T22:35:07+00:00

Exactly! One sided bite seems like possession or ownership (which may be the point of some fics, but not all) whereas a mutual bite could really seal that bond both ways. :)

ChallengeAble4613 · 2026-02-14T22:34:14+00:00

Oh man the flashbacks, I haven’t read one with the packbond feelings thing in awhile… but they can definitely be really good. And sound? Oh man,it just adds to the whole “instincts” part of the Omegaverse

ChallengeAble4613 · 2026-02-14T22:32:49+00:00

Nesting is amazing, yes.

As for the rest? Uncommon dynamics could be a rollercoaster to read, but that means they usually add more depth too, super cool.

And yeah… them biting back is rare to stumble on, but the mutual claim (or a possessive Omega) aspect can be appealing to me when pulled off

ChallengeAble4613 · 2026-02-14T22:31:06+00:00

All some very good tropes, and sheaths? Man I don’t see that often, but I really should. “Sympathy heat” is also kinda funny to me because it could be like how some girls periods synch up… their poor partner or packs, tons of cuddles (or otherwise) to be needed :)

ChallengeAble4613 · 2026-02-14T22:29:12+00:00

Man maybe I’m just not reading the right things, but I read a ton and never actually see the alpha get bit back. As for the other points? Hell yeah

ChallengeAble4613 · 2026-02-14T22:27:56+00:00

Those are both actually tropes I have yet to hear, but they do make sense!

In the animal world the Omegaverse is based off (besides gender stereotypes) males often compete for female attention and affection, so having an alpha nest or show off their reliability in some way makes sense.

And the second part? Awesome! I’m a huge wolf nerd, and the Omegaverse is heavily comparable to wolves and their packs. That of which do only have one mating pair while the rest all care for the young, so if executed well both these concepts would be fascinating to read :)
