Dear Author: You misspelled Despair in the title.

Damn, you're right, sorry about that! Hold on, let me fix that!

Despair should be capitalized in the title, since revenge is.
You also misspelled "Chrysalis" in title and description, unless you're trying to make a nautical pun.
I also don't recommend ending titles in exclamation marks unless you intend a really excited feel to them (and this story is supposed to be dark...). That goes for the chapter titles as well, they read very awkwardly as they are; you probably want a colon (":") instead of the first exclamation mark in each.

I really hope you used spellcheck on this story...

Umm... I did my best! I actually thought that her name was spelt Chrysails. that's what I saw everywhere else.

Well, that wasn't as bad as I expected, honestly. There are far too many little problems with grammar/punctuation to really bother with, so I'll just point out the biggest problems:

  1. Applejack doesn't talk very much like Applejack. She's also a bit too afraid of fart torture for a pony who probably deals with manure more often than any other pony on the show, and a bit too much into trying to reform Chrysalis with an offer of friendship. Overall, you wrote her character more like Twilight would act.
  2. Sentences run on and on. You need to break them up more. Similarly, don't say "Chrysalis did x, y, z, and then a, and then b, while doing c." It really makes it hard to follow.
  3. Chrysalis talks a bit oddly too. Most people don't say "I got the most perfect plan.", they'd say "I've got the most perfect plan.", but even that's unbefitting the way she talks (a little bit more regally). Chrysalis would say something more like "Oh, I simply have the most dastardly plan for those wretched elements of harmony!"
  4. The word "a" turns into "an" before a vowel sound (while this is a grammar issue, it's one that actually makes things sound bad).

Umm... ok then I can fix everything then thank you!

Have you gotten checked for dyslexia? It's a common condition that can cause letter swaps when reading.

(Skipped to the end mostly so I could check how it turns out to put it in the proper group folders).
I'm seeing a lot of "Chrysailis" in this chapter, which is an interesting misspelling that at least makes phonetic sense, rather than being a sign you got the letters swapped.

Anyways, this chapter is kind of boring because it rapidly alternates between ponies forced into the plot and ponies facing farts in the plot, without really anything else going on or any real variety in how the characters react.
Not sure what could really be done, since the premise of the fic is just continual fart torture over and over. Normally, clopfics have a tad more variety in them.

Reading more of this shows you have a pretty good vocabulary; on a technical level, you really just need to get better at how to build sentences. Poor sentence construction tends to make a fic harder to follow, and that's the case here.

In conclusion, while this is one of my fetishes, I can't really get much into the fic due to it being a lot of the same thing over and over again with difficulty telling what's going on at the same time.

Damn... I'll do my best to fix everything. Then it'll be better. Thank you very much.

I'll update the story and make it even better then i'll have you take a look at it. Sound good bro?

This went from way too quickly written with run-on sentences, to way to short and comedically bad dialogue to the cheesiest evil villain acting I've ever read. The end was absolutely atrocious. I understand it's fetishy, but come on, man. Put some effort into it!

"T-this is it... we're goners... it's-it's hopeless... we cannot escape our fate!" Said a broken Fluttershy.
"No Fluttershy, I refuse to admit defeat when w-we can still smile, we can also have hope... oh who are we kidding, get this over with Chrysalis!" Said Pinkie.

This is so bad it's hilarious.

Welp... i'll do some fixing up on it later, for now i'm taking a break, it'll almost be completely done. Sorry for the wait.

9052276
When I finish the rest of the editing, i'm thinking about it.

There! I've fixed everything. I hope it'll make the story better to read. i'm doing my very best to improve.

I'm working on the good ending now. The the whole thing will be finished. It's almost finished now guys.

Well, it's obvious parts of this were changed, but I think you left too much intact. One problem in the beginning is that Chrysalis does a lot of her monologuing after taking flight, when it would make more sense to speak of it just as she's thought of the plan, not in the middle of enacting it.

So, one thing that I notice a lot in poor structuring is the pattern shown here:

Then she charged up a paralysis spell to keep her new (toy) where it should be, underneath her, where she belongs.

Once that is done the farm pony's body went all stiff, unable to move her body at all, causing her to wake up.

"W-what in tarnation, why can't I move my body?" Said Applejack in a almost panic state, her true night terror, staring her in the face, with a sinister smile, filled with silght anger and mostly sultry in her eyes and said.

"Because you foolish pony, you're under the effects of my paralysis spell, lovely isn't it?" Asked the queen.

The problem is that the narration and dialog together obsess over a simple, if important, detail. While AJ should certainly say something about being paralyzed (and Chrysalis should respond), the narration telling us about it too more than once is too much. Here's how I would rewrite it:

Then, she cast a paralysis spell to keep her new toy where she belongs: underneath her. The magical surge awoke the farmpony.

"H-huh...what in tarnation, why can't I move?" Said Applejack in a mild panic. Her panic grew as she realized her true nightmare was staring her in the face with a sinister smile and slightly angry, but mostly sultry, eyes.

"Because, you foolish pony, you're under the effects of my paralysis spell. Lovely, isn't it?" Asked the queen.

AJ still acts too much like Twilight towards the end. It's really not in her character to suddenly offer friendship. She'd either remain indignant or be too busy begging for Chrysalis to leave her family alone.

Also, I'd recommend italics over asterisks for mild mid-sentence actions.

Umm ok then. I'll see what I can do after I finish the good ending.

9052283
Ok I finished the good ending now. And I took your advice too. If this isn't alot of effort, I don't know what is.

9052878
Ok I finished this whole story, fixed Applejack's personality, corrected any errors. And finalized the good ending!

Please if it wouldn't be too much to ask. At least talk to me before you go and sort my content around please. Again; I would never do that to anybody else. If I put effort and work into something, then i'd like to have a say in what happens to it. That's not asking for too much is it?

Well to be fair bud, the story warning in the description does pretty much sum up everything that this story and it's chapters are about. That's usually what the warnings are for, to tell other people what to expect inside of said story. No offense.

Thanks. I mean this is honestly not my best work, not by far.
