I was doing some deep diving in a dissertation/thesis database today and I stumbled across a doctoral dissertation on omegaverse fics and conceptions of the body in fandom.

Wherever you are, doctor, I salute you.

Something Queer in His Make-Up: Genderbending, Omegaverses, and Fandom’s Discontents by Elliot Aaron Director, PhD.

Slightly misremembered the topic (more reproduction and gender roles than just the body in isolation), but it’s 216 pages long, focuses entirely on Sherlock and Hobbit fandoms, and you can read the whole goddamn thing if you scroll down to “files”.
