Fanfic of The Day #1: Sketchy Salad Symphony


"What's it like to live in Canterlot, home of the princesses, assorted renowned celebrities and sophisticated ponies?
Well, it all comes down to who you are, really - and if you happen to be a fairly ordinary earth pony, you can get on with life quite easily with few distractions.
But what happens when life plays you an interesting hand, and suddenly you're thrown into the spotlight?
This is a tale of the everyday, and how it can turn from ordinary to extraordinary with a twist of chance.
This is a tale of friends, of laughter, of love and of life.
This is a tale of who we are, and how we got here.
This... is Sketchy Salad Symphony."

I've decided to add a new daily post to the schedule. My fanfic of the day. What I will do is pick a fanfic that I've read (and enjoyed) before to be the fanfic of the day, explain why I picked it, and tell a little about my experience reading it. Simple as that.

Anyways, the reason for my choosing of this fanfic is because I'd started reading this back when I didn't have a whole ton of fanfics in my read later list that I'll never get around to reading. It was one where I read the description and became quite interested. When I started reading it, I absolutely fell in love with it. I kept reading it all day, everyday, starting when I walked to the bus stop, when I got on the bus, when I got to school, and often, I'd sneak it out and start reading it in class, and then on the bus ride back, continuing when I'd get home. This is one of the few fanfics I'd give a 10/10 for really drawing me into it and for being amongst my favorite fanfics of all time.
