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.
