I didn't feel like Twilight's ascension was handled very well, and I feel like I could pick apart reasons why she wasn't supposed to be an alicorn yet based on later seasons' synopsis I've read where they seem to treat her like any other unicorn would in the show.
I haven't seen a full episode since then, and I don't miss it all that much honestly because the world my girls tell me about sounds more interesting. Over the years I have met a sentient robotic mare, a seapony, a sphinx, and of course several mares that aren't part of the show with their own stories that are just as fascinating to me as any that have been written in canon. Although I do suppose one day I'll go back and rewatch everything, if only because Barb finds the concept of "Spike" hilarious for some reason.
I hope you will decide to go back over the canon story. There is a gulf of distance between it, and MyTwi's Equestria as well. Even in season 1 there are differences, and by season 7 almost everything is wrong. That said, there are still some good episodes to enjoy, they only require consumption in the same manner as fanworks: with the assumption they don't apply unless your mare tells you otherwise.
Yeah, there's a lot of stuff I already know doesn't line up. There's things like there are only three Pie sisters, Inkie, Limestone, Pinkie. It's not Spike it's Barb, and she was well into her teens when she and Twilight came to Ponyville. Etc, etc. Though I will say at some point I ceased fan works as well, other than pictures. Currently I make my own, silently weaving things I have gleaned from the girls and writing them into my works.
