It's actually not that terrible, I don't think. I could see all the characters acting like this, and Celestia's motivation behind... well, that actually makes a certain amount of sense when you think about it. That, and Alice looks relatively IC.
Though, it looks like they were going to continue it, which would've been a good judge for how well the crossover would've worked.
I mean, I am familiar with American McGee's Alice, and it really makes me wonder how this crossover could work. On the one hand, you have MLP, which is a rather bright and cheery continuum.
And on the other hand, American McGee's Alice is... it's actually very grim-dark. Just the art design alone is pretty doggone crazy, but the stuff you see in the game itself gets incredibly creepy. Granted, I have seen grim-dark continua get crossed with MLP before in a context that actually manages to incorporate the tones of both continua without it feeling like there's a jarring tone change, but it's really hard to do right, and I don't know if this fic could manage it.
But it managed that far, so... yeah.
