Way back when OA was founded it came from an idea for a novel IIRC (said novel didn't get written) but the main focus has always been worldbuilding. Very few of our members join because they want to write stories over articles, or simply just to discuss cool ideas about life in an OA society. It's not fear, simply different interests.
I'm not sure how many of our stories feature transaps versus those that don't but I suspect it's because writing about a transap is less interesting for most people. It's not as relatable as writing about modosophonts.
Of course the ethos of OA is that anyone is welcome to offer any contribution for consideration by the rest of the members. There's certainly no discouragement regarding stories with transaps. Anyone is free to write them, or not.
