\n\n\n\n\nThis week, we catch up with some recent fannish news and give an intensely spoilery review of the BBC Sherlock Christmas special \u2014 or what NYC HQ can remember of it, anyway. And then we get knotty with special guest Nora Bombay to talk about Alpha/Beta/Omega, that trope that you hadn't heard of before, but seems to be everywhere now. We discuss where we think it comes from, why it seems to have sparked such interest, and share a few recs along the way, too.\n\n\n\n\nLinks\n\nAlphas, Betas, Omegas: A Primer by nora bombay \n\nDarcy Lewis ABO on AO3 \n\nStar Wars: TFA ABO \n\nLaw & Order ABO\n\n
