The part that annoys me about A/B/O (I'm not totally turned off it, but parts of it annoy me) is how too many fics have the characters caving to their base biological drives any having no higher control to stop themselves.

I have this pet idea that one of the mainstays of Free Will (from a very Christian perspective on the subject) is that animals cannot defy their instincts/biological drive, while humans can.

I also have a love/hate relationship with other types of soulbonding/fated-to-be fics for the same reason.

I particularly hate fics of any of these sort (A/B/O or soulbonding) where the bond makes the couple instantly perfectly in love. I wish more writers would face the fact that such bonds would NOT make the relationship perfect.

A soulbond/soul-mark/A/O mating would not stop Bilbo stealing the Arkenstone if he thought that would stop a war from happening. (Why yes I'm in the Hobbit fandom! Why do you ask?)

I have little problem with knotting (especially after a few HP animagus fics I read back in the day), I don't particularly mind mpreg, and I love a good fic where characters defy the societal model that makes omegas institutionalized ukes. I just don't like the failure to acknowledge the dub-con elements, and the idea that mating means the relationship is ~perfect~.


However, if you dislike the whole thing, I have no problem with that either. Everyone has different tastes, and I fully acknowledge that A/B/O is a pretty unique set of tastes that is not up everyone's alley. I hope you can keep scrolling past those prompts to find stuff you like better.
