Dude, you are asking the wrong people. You should head on over to FIMFiction, where people make it their business to deal with this stuff. Specifically I would recommend talking to DPV111 since he is a very critical reader who always nitpicks (politely) in his comments, even when he straight up likes the story. Ask people at your leisure on their profile pages, or send them notes if you like to keep stuff incognito.
