I forgot to post in the August thread, so I’ll do it here. I read Fallout: Equestria over a few days, and it was actually really good. (Way better than the current rationalist MLP fic.)
It is a very well written work, but as befits Fallout, it is grimdark.
There were many parts which seemed like they wouldn’t have been nearly as enjoyable without strong familiarity with the Fallout universe. They cross it with MLP very well- some of the combinations are eh, but several of them make perfect sense, and are very tragic.
I’m not enjoying it as much as I thought I might. It seems basically competent, but the writing doesn’t propel me along. (The rationalist MLP fic does so propel.)
Mm, I would’ve said the exact opposite. Admittedly the first 100 pages or so are slow. (IIRC, quanticle said something similar after reading it per my recommendation. He liked it a lot.)
As gwern states in a sibling post, once Littlepip starts assembling her party, the story starts proceeding along nicely. If you’ve gotten past the introduction of the first two party members, and you still think it’s slow, then I’d suggest skipping it.

My opinion, as posted earlier:
