True (never seen Nana to Kaoru BTW)... but I split my entertainment into separate distinct categories... unless it is a crossover fan fiction or some such... So I do not really count them as the same type of category.
Thus, I have had over the years the following completely separate entertainment vices I've been serious about:
- Japanese Manga/Anime/Fanfiction
- Star Trek (series, movies, tech manuals, novels, some fanfiction)
- Sci Fi (live series only, Space 1999, Original Battlestar Galactica, Dr. Who (mostly pre 10th doctor), Buck Rogers, Bablyon 5, Seaquest, etc...)
- Romance Novels (not so much anymore, old Harlequin and Silouette superromances)
- Car Books (not so much anymore, but used to collect the yearly spec guides and memorize stats for fun)
Without question, Star Trek and Anime/Manga have been the biggest and longest of the lot...

You're being incredibly unhelpful Nuit. Reading any kind of fanfic requires an investment of time if nothing else, and since there's a lot to read people don't want to waste time on shit.
For what it's worth, Lelouch of Britannia is a great fic, though it takes a novel to reach Japan. It's about Lelouch staying in Britannia and joining the military, ostensibly becoming the perfect imperial prince. The author is more interested in political machinations than robot combat, though he's proved adept at both. My personal favorite scenes are the scene when Lelouch leads a raid against his own forces in the European invasion scene, and how Zero comes into existence.

I gave him the same summary that got me to read it. I get tired of seeing people nag about needing more info before they can decide to click a link and peruse a paragraph or two.
If it can't get me to keep reading after the first few paragraphs then I close the story and try again.

Well, if you're that wary about what's written, take a look at the author's favorites if he got any and see if you recognize any titles you like. Alternatively, find a person who writes and reads almost exclusively that fandom (and does it decently, I should probably add), and see if they have it in the favorites. I find lots of fics I enjoy this way, though often it leads me on loops... which is probably proof that good fanfic writers belong in a very small community that promotes circle wanking.

Lelouch of Britannia is a wonderful story and easily has my recommendation. As mentioned, its how he remains in the royal family after his mother was killed (forgot what happened to his sister).
As a prince, he does quite a few unconventional things - he used "tanks" instead of Knightmare frames and goes on to win campaigns in Africa - battles which other Britannian generals had really hard times with.
The story has recently shifted to Japan, but its a very different scenario there.
One way to compare this with canon -
Canon is the story of how Lelouch uses Japan to fight his father.
This fanfic is how he remains in the royal family to pursue his own objectives; quite frankly, I'm confused about his motives - but its a good story, regardless.
Oh and what I just quoted? Its the part I find most disappointing about the fanfic. Zero ... well, he's not what I expected/wanted him to be.

His motives are pretty similar to canon; protect Nunnely along with the few other siblings he likes, and REVENGE. This time around Leloch is using the position and power of being a prince of the empire to do so, instead of the secrecy and rebels of canon. Oh and change the social darwinism of the imperial court by devouring the strong and wicked instead of the weak.

Sounds like a good read then. But one last thing first, out of curiosity, what's become of the Black Knights? not really important but are they just ignored for the most part or do they still play a role? Also, and more in importantly is the story going to involve a lot of OCs? I'd like to be ready for it before hand so I don't go hitting up Google for every name I don't recognize.

The Black Knights are completely different than in the source material; instead of being Zero's terrorists, they're Prince Lelouch's Knightmare division. So some familiar faces are there, but on the other side.
Even better, most of the named characters so far have been characters from source material, however minor. Most; a few talking heads are given names and there're a few completely new characters.
No no, this is fascinating. A lurker from before Hawk closed down registration!

Please ignore this post. My apologies.?

Leloch joins the millitary after completeing his schooling, which he finished about a year before the events on the canon show start off, and is given the rank colonel along with a regiment of soldiers to command. He then adopts the black knight as his forces' standard: Then he and his men are shipped off to North Africa to fight in the war that has just gotten hot, and where his massive asskickery makes him the number one hero/commander to the Britanian public. By the time on the events on the anime roll around Leloch for a variety of reason decides to make a prolonged visit of his brother Clovis's Area, and this is where the story is now. We have met most of the originial cast but the people born or studying in the former nation of Japan have only featured in the last 9 out of 28 chapters. So don't expect too much on that front just yet.
A bit of a warning the author has just updated the story for the first time in a year and a half. He used to do it about once a month, but RL and his job happened.

Nope the various Japanese liberation fronts including Kallen and her group are still doing what they were at the start of the series. Really we're like at somewhere between episode 1 or 2 at this point, and Leloch hasn't even met C.C. yet. Although that's likely to change very soon.

Okay, you know those fics that veer heavily off onto tangents with some harebrained plot scheme that you don't think would ever work? But the author still manages to pull it off with amazing writing and world building? Yeah, this is one of them. Seriously, go read it. Lelouch Vi Brittania commands you!

First 4 chapters were about dealing with the aftermath of Lelouch's near exile, Nunnely's injuries, and recruiting Jeremiha. 5-7 were on how things are for Lelouch and Nunnely living the past 6 years in Pendragon plus the forming of the Black Knights. 8-16 the war in Africa and Lelouch's exploits there. 17-19 Lelouch's victorious return to Britania and politics. 20-28 Lelouch and Nunnely settling into Japan.

Please understand that LoB has nothing to do with Japan (or area 11) for a good 30 chapters or so. Its all about Lelouche being a Magnificent Bastard.
As for the Black Knights? Nope, they aren't what you expect them to be. You see, with Lelouch being IN the royal family, he has no reason to repeat canon events. Which means a HUGE de-rail from waaay before episode 1.
In some ways, you can think of this as a really good original story set in the Code Geass universe. Though, with the last of any kind of Geass so far, I'm wondering if it will make an appearance at all. Still a damn good story - if nothing else, than for the battle-scenes.
