>>124986 Well, the whole plot was made in an /a/ thread talking about "what Anonymous would like to see in his light novels" with a list of criteria. Everyone liked the plot idea so much that a lot of people started endorsing the idea of an /a/-produced light novel series through the use of a wiki.
The guidelines were:
- Lesbians - Genderbending/Traps - Magical Girls/Dudes - Political conflict - Deep character development - Steampunk - Mindfuck/Psuedo-Mindfuck
The post that got the idea so much attention in the first place was:
"Great war of 1898, set in a timeline where Napoleon conquered Europe successfully. after a long colonial race, the sinking of the USS Maine by Napoleonic ally Spain triggers a war between the Russo-Anglo-American alliance and the Continental powers. Due to the lull in trade between nations [continental policy, british embargo, etc.] technology has stagnated, and swords usage is not uncommon, and the whimsical french emperor has funded the creation many strange and impractical steam-driven war machines. The Russian Empire [sans ukraine and the baltics, taken by france in the 1815 peace treaty], after a long period of unpopular military and military-industry buildup has suffered a socialist revolution headed by the charismatic and popular Comrade Svetlana, who is well known for her scandalously liberal attitude towards sexuality. Meanwhile, the continental alliance is led by Emperor Napoleon III [Eugène Napoléon, died in 1879 in our timeline, killed by zulus or somesuch]. Down in french west africa, rebellion is afoot, led by a mysterious young voodoo priestess... as for a trap, maybe some pampered austrian prince?"
