After watching Code Geass, my official verdict is that is rules. Especially episodes 20-24. Being quite the fan of alternate history and westerns that I am, an idea for a fanfic popped into my head and it won't leave.
How does this sound? Rebellion: 1870, an alternate universe of Code Geass set, not after the conquest of Japan by Britannia, but after the defeat of the Confederacy in an alternate history version of the War between the States fought with steam powered war machines.
( Cut for intro text )I figured I would bring up this idea to other members of the fandom before putting too much down on paper. Any feedback would be appreciated.
