Hey, it's Sorcerer here! I just wanted to promote a story of mine that you all might like, "Shanghai'd"! Yeah, I know... I've advertised this way too many times, but I really am confident in this story. So, let me share it with you! Here's a brief (yet not so brief) description!

*Wandering off to a nearby river port after an argument with Twilight, Spike begins to question his own life as he sits on the river's edge. Fluttershy appears close by, having watched Spike. She then admits to tailing him all the way from Twilight's house in an attempt to bring him back. Spike confesses to Fluttershy that he wishes to have more adventure and meaning in his life than stacking books, and Fluttershy encourages him to make a change to better himself.*

*However, in a mysterious and sudden turn of events... Spike and Fluttershy end up recruits on a pirate ship headed to The Blacklands- a continent on the other side of a great ocean. The two are dumbfounded to find the captain is a dragon by the name of Draven Jagged-tooth, who is amazed by Spike, and in private reveals to him a shocking truth.More than anypony will ever know will be revealed, and the mysteries, nations, and tribes of the Blacklands ahead shall be explored in this seaworthy-series! Adventure awaits!*

This story is so much more than just a pirate fanfic! There are so many genres and vibrant oc's mixed into this tale, and I've built an entire continent with factions and nations like Ausrüstung, the technologically advanced nation that broke off from the Equestrian Monarchy. Or The Miriad Kingdom, pointy-eared ponies (elves) that fear the second coming of their old king Dracul, the vampire king. Just to show you how big my story is, here's a list of all future arcs in order and my progress in development!

Arc One: The Tournament of Right - (Completed)
Arc Two: The Gears of Chaos - (In Progress)
Arc Three: Blood of Fear - (Finished developing entire arc content.)
Arc Four: Spirit Sands - (Currently developing characters, plot, etc.)
Arc Five: Islands of Dorio - (Developed some characters and plot, but nothing major.)
Arc Six: Paladin's Curse - (Currently developing basic plot outline.)
Arc Seven: Path of Power - (Barely scratched the surface, I hope to be here within four to five years. I have an idea on how this will end.)

Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy!
