Omegaverse Dear Creator letter

jammerificI generally enjoy omegaverse as a worldbuilding exercise to mix up the breeding responsibilities and social stereotypes in a fictional-but-still-human society, rather than coming at it from a werewolf-inspired direction where everything is very animalistic. So I'm likely not a good id match for a writer who enjoys the fated mates and fangs side of the trope, or for one who's interested in writing basically Handmaid's Tale But With Men.
Reproduction-wise I'm fine with male omegas and female alphas having both sets of genitalia, something not quite either, or with all the anatomical differences being internal (e.g. sheathed dicks for female alphas). I'd probably expect the social dynamics to differ if secondary sex isn't known until puberty vs if it's known from birth.
I enjoy most combinations of primary and secondary sex (especially alpha/alpha and f!alpha/m!omega), heats being on the less extreme, more biologically-plausible end of things, and scent-based social bonding (including with platonic friends). I'm generally lukewarm on betas. I'm fine with them existing, I'm up for interesting ideas you might have about their role, but don't feel obliged to include them if you don't want to!
DNWs:
- Societal-level reproductive control of omegas, them having no rights etc
- True or fated mates, mating bonds having any magical properties/being unbreakable
- 'Alpha voice' that can force omegas to obey, calling each other 'Alpha' and 'Omega' as titles in the same way we'd use 'sir' etc.
- Animal physiology or terminology ('pup', 'litter')
