Hello gifter!

I'm fine with mentions of knotting and I'm flexible with both.

If you DO go into knotting detail, I humbly request a bit of research, as I have yet to read a knotting fic that has done it "correctly". (which is to say, erection and engorging of the knot occurring AFTER penetration, not before)

I partially blame this phenomenon on that tumblr post I saw about "how to write alpha/omega" that basically said "Do not do any research because Googling knotting will freak you out!" .. probably true, but wikipedia-ing the mating habits of canines is a safe start. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canine_reproduction#Copulation - maybe alphas are alphas because they still have their baculum! LOL!

I have no fear of knotting research! LOL.

maybe alphas are alphas because they still have their baculum!
I do not need yet another plot bunny. STOP. ;)
