I just finished reading the main fic and this off-shoot. So let me sum up my feelings on both here.

This one was pretty funny. I enjoy the idea that Chrysalis is so bad she can't even eat chicken without dying.

The main fic. I loved it. I'm eagerly awaiting the next update. I enjoy the idea that Chrysalis isn't some tactical genius who only loses due to unfortunate (although, I suppose, depending on which side you belong to it could also be fortunate) circumstances. But she loses because she's awkward, unable to read situations and just blunders through her problems.

A great example is the intelligence department. Chryssi didn't destroy it as a scorched earth policy to deny the ponies valuable information about Changelings. She destroyed it because they caught her doing something embarrassing and one of the drones inadvertently insulted her.

All in all, a solid fic on both ends and I'm looking forward to seeing more chapters in the future. Also, the Chryssi fanart is appreciated as well.

Thank you so much for the compliments! You're too kind! I only hope I can continue to keep you entertained!

Well, that certainly left me with the bitter taste of cop-out in the back of my mouth...

I can respect that. I recognize that these alternative chapters are going to be rather polarizing when it comes to taste and preference. That's why I decided to keep it non-canon and separate from the main plotline; rest assured, I'm not going to end the actual story like that. Hopefully, it will be satisfying for most!

This... This isn't enjoyable.

I can't fault you. This chapter(s) is/are certainly not going to be everyone's cup of tea, and that's fine. It's the primary reason I separated it from the main story. With that said, I may be adding more chapters later, and I do hope that they will be more enjoyable for everyone in the future. Thanks for reading!

Anytime.

I'd have been perfectly happy if it had been Chrysalis who'd been violently gored.

Hm, that was far less gory than I expected from the "advertising", Faust knows there are some really psychopathic fics out there. Just saying. I'm indifferent towards this chapter because I can choose it not to be canon and hope that the canon story turns out to take a spin towards the sappy end :P .

Well, admittedly it's not as gory as it the warnings may have implied, but then again, that's all in the eye of the beholder.

And don't worry - the main story won't be near as bad end-y as this was!

And thanks for reading!

"OH CRAP!" she shouted, rushing over to check the still-dead pony. She stood over her former antagonist. The once-proud alicorn laid on her back, a pool of blood forming around the head. Chrysalis gave the cadaver a nudge. "H-hey. You, uh, you okay?" No response. "Um...rub some dirt on it and walk it off?" she offered. Still no response. Walking around, she looked at Twilight's head. Just below the horn was a jagged, visceral hole. Bits of bone and brain matter surrounded the fatal wound, and small spurts of blood occasionally left where the arteries had been so horrifically torn open. The Queen winced at the sight, and she could feel her stomach convulsing in an attempt to expel its contents. Turning around, she wretched for a moment, before composing herself.

WHOOPS, SHE DEAD. THERE GOES YA FUCK BUDDY!
