I think that's the only way I'd read one of those alpha/omega fics. Tbh, I think part of the reason those AUs turn me off is because it seems like a good way to make women irrelevant and just have societies full of men...and I already have a hard time choking down normal universe fics that are huge sausage fests.

I think the whole "women are irrelevent" aspect could be played for the lulz in one of these fics with an alien society or something. Like this:

Human Guy: Dude, where are all your women? How has your species not died out yet?

Alien: What is this "women" you speak of? We do not have this concept.

Human Guy: But... how do you reproduce?

Alien: Obviously the omegas carry offspring. How does YOUR species reproduce, if you don't even know that!

Human Guy: ...what?

But then again I'm just weird like that. And I really like lulzy slash, so I guess that's where it comes from.

So like... Enemy Mine?

Never seen it, but sure, if that's what happens.

I'll have to go see if that movie's on Amazon Video. I was looking for something to watch, you've got me curious.

Sort of? I watched it a long time ago. The alien is hermaphroditic. It's a really good movie!

There's a book I accidentally stumbled upon in TVTropes that I think does a much better job at focusing on an all-male society than this... omegaverse crap. (Call me a kink-basher all you want, omegaverse will never be anything more than seriously disturbing to me, and I've done all kinds of degenerate kinky fandom shit before.)

I can't remember the name for the life of me but it's part of a series. A few extremist men established a planet of their own where women are basically mythological beasts. It progressed to the point where those born there don't even really believe they exist. They reproduce by using an egg bank that they constructed (the problem in the novel is that they're running low and need more), and families are built on an interestingly homosexual dynamic. The sexuality of the people living there seems homosexual by default but apparently it's stressed a few times that not all the men are necessarily homosexual. (My favorite part was the facial hair rite of passage: when a man is going to be "having" a child, he usually grows a beard to signify his maturation into a family with his partner.)

If I remember to, I'll try to dig up the name of the book again. I want to read it, or write fic based on such a universe.

Here we go: "In Lois McMaster Bujold's Ethan of Athos (part of the Vorkosigan Saga) we get Athos, an all male colony. The plot kicks off because there are problems with the (repeatedly cloned) ova they have to import to allow the males to reproduce."
