Only if I heard particularly good things about it.
Most creative endeavors you could undertake have a very small chance of leading to external reward, even the validation of people reading/watching/playing them - there's simply too much content available these days for people to read yours. So I'd advise against making such a thing, unless you find making it to be rewarding enough in itself.
Would you have given Alicorn the same advice if she asked for it before writing "Luminosity"?
Yes. Do you think I would have been wrong?

It seems to have found an audience.
Obviously some works will always be popular. That doesn't change the fact that the prior odds for any particular one doing so are very low.
Think that would have been a good move. Advice can be pretty good at presenting the outside view -- isn't as good at presenting the inside view unless the advice-giver really knows the advice-receiver well (ETA: meaning relevant details to receiver's specific case, etc.). Receiver should keep this in mind and update on relevant evidence (especially inside view evidence) that giver likely did not take into account.
