Spoiler: Despite my guess, the bullet was not lodged in Ranma's nose.

Belated, but the cliffhanger seems fairly obvious.

[spoiler]The author's stated before that he feels Ranma could easily tank being shot. I strongly suspect that's the outcome of it - he shrugs it off and proceeds to take care of business.

Called it.

Child of the Emperor is a pretty cool story I read a while back about a chaos space marine finding redemption.
I read this, and plugged it a couple times in #kitago, but nobody really showed any interest. Too bad, really.

I like it quite a lot. I'm okayish at 40k lore, having read most of the Ciaphas Cain novels and played the Dawn of War games, but it's clear that the author really knows his stuff without getting wanky on unnecessary details. By the time I was done I realized that I could name every one of the Traitor Legions, when none of them had enough distinct characterization in the games to matter much (they were all screaming lunatics).

A repentant Chaos Marine makes for a pretty compelling character, and the various hangers-on he picks up along the way give his group a feel like the retinue of an Inquisitor or a Rogue Trader. They're freelance vigilantes in the service of the Emperor, more or less, and they're pretty big on the quasi-heretical distinction between the Emperor and the Imperium. If you have even a basic understanding of 40k, or don't mind keeping the Lexicanum (40k wiki) open, definitely give this one a read.

Remember how Ranma-turns-into-a-magical-girl fics were so common?  Jonabee has written one.  Assuming you don't dislike either of the base series, I think this might be interesting.

Two updated w/next chapter.

I'm liking this exam. I'm hoping the last exam keeps with the theme rather than straight up fighting.

Huh.  Yet another chapter...I was half thinking that the last chapter was the ending of the most recent arc, since it ended on a fairly stereotypical Ranma 1/2 note: fiancee tries to kill Ranma, and leaves the scene as still his fiancee (technically).

Anastasia

Yeah. To be honest, I thought it was a pretty boring chapter and purely setup. From the AN, the odds of DRAMA next chapter are extremely high.

Bringer of Death updated (a month ago, whoops). In which Trunks does things and sets up a new arc.

Dun dun duuuun!

Honestly, that's about my only take to the chapter. Ranma/Akane drama is way less interesting than adventures.

Well, Goodbye.

Did a re-read of http://thezombieknight.blogspot.com/ to get to current on how much it's updated.

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11434313/1/A-child-genius Simple ranma/negi crossover.  Basic, Ranma hangs out around there after a mushroom incident.  Lots of little bits done well, but its a really simple/short tale that brushes over things more often then not.
Well, Goodbye.
