I think the fic that comes to mind that used betas as a way to push aside unwanted characters was a werewolf SPN RPF AU fic. I get the feeling there's a who;e collection of "characters" (with the names of Real People attached to them in the case of RPF) that are kinda expected to appear in fics, so the easy way is to make them betas.

That particular fic also had a whole plotline where werewolf culture had developed a whole anti-omega prejudice, so it at least fit in that story that the whole pack was made up of betas, with a ruling alpha.

So far in the Hobbit fandom I've got an impression betas are used as reasoning why so many Dwarves have no interest in marrying (that disinterest is totally canon, but the canon reason is that Dwarves can get so wrapped up in their craft that they don't even consider marriage, even if the gender imbalance wasn't such a problem).

So, nothing complicated then :)

Thanks for explaining it all - it still seems odd to me that people don't just write about the characters they want to write about - especially in an AU - but there you go :)
