From Super-wiki
Knotting is a sub-genre of fic that became popular in the fandom from mid-2010 onwards. The genre generally overlays canine type characteristics on people including pack heirarchies (usually divided into Alphas, Betas and Omegas) and the idea that receptive sex partners may go into heat. Mpreg is not uncommon. The knot refers to men having a cock that forms a knot when erect, as is found in dogs and wolves. There is no single accept set of 'rules' for stories written in the genre and the fic takes many forms, but usually includes strong themes of dominance and submission. Slash stories arein the majority, but there are some Het and Femmslash stories as well.
