How many books do you think FF7 Lifestream will end up being?

@OneWingedAngelLavak Nice! I'm working on the next chapter of Lifestream and should hopefully have it up this weekend. Also working on another chapter for Reflections too, I know I've gotten behind on it.

Hey!
          
          Few questions...
          
          Which software do you use to write the stories? Google docs or something else? And what font and font size you use?
          
          And regarding Final Fantasy Lifestream series, is it basically the final fantasy 7 remake series but in novel format?

@Iperiz The whispers are not in Lifestream, but there are still many changes from the remake series and the original. As for that moment, you'll just have to wait and see, hehe. ;)  I actually haven't gotten to it yet in Lifestream, Book 3 goes through the Temple of the Ancients, so the Forgotten City won't be until Book 4.

I see... I will read it, and hopefully the whispers are still a integral part of the lifestream series, as well as maybe a change in the ending of ff7 rebirth. :D

@Iperiz I use LibreOffice to write all my stories. Minion Pro 11pt for the body text and TheklaBold Extended for the chapter headings.
            
            As for Lifestream, no it's not strictly the remake series but more a combination of that, the original, and many of my own ideas. So although it largely follows the progression of the original, there are many differences from the games. Jessie's past and fate being one of the biggest ones - her backstory is somewhat different here, although she's still a former actress.
            
            But there's much more to her background now, and her family situation is different because of it. Reflections is all about her past and how she came to the slums and Avalanche, and Lifestream contains many references to those events. And her fate, well... you'll have to just wait and see to find out if she makes it out of the pillar alive this time, hehe. And how that may change many things later on if she does ;)

Hi there!
          I recently got very much into a Final Fantasy VII Phase, and found your works. I'm very much looking forward to reading them! Looking forward to comment on your works in future, and I'm glad there are dedicated fic writers out there helping expand on Midgar and all its amazing characters!

@Yoshistar_Writes Liking your comments so far, I hope you're doing well. My stories deviate from the original in some ways more than Remake does (Jessie's background, especially), so I hope you won't mind.

@JairusTLS, no worries! I'm definitely going to consider reading it very soon. I'll try and leave a comment every few chapters, so I hope you look forward to it!

@Yoshistar_Writes Thanks! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on my stories! You may want to start with Lifestream, since that's the main series - a novelization that's a blend of the original, Remake, and my own ideas with many new elements. Reflections is a two-part prequel focusing on Jessie, and The Path Ahead is a short story of only a few chapters about Aerith that happens during Book 3 of Lifestream. I also have a couple of one-shots I haven't posted yet.

Just read book 1 of your FF7 series. I was really impressed with your expansion on the character of Jessie Raspberry. She is certainly one of my favourite characters from the remake and i cant wait to read book 2 xx

@Fandom300 You're welcome! And thanks, looking forward to it! :)

Thank you for that info!! Got me hyped all over again. And i will let u know what i think of the rest of the stories (sure i love them) x

@Fandom300 I have very good reason to believe she'll be back - a friend of mine who knows some of the VAs (can't say who because it could affect his work due to what he does) told me that he found out certain things from them that convinced him she'll be back. And it's not the 4chan leak. He couldn't tell me what they were of course, but it was enough to make him sure she survived and will return. And thanks, be sure to let me know what you think of the rest of the stories! ^_^

I just wanted to say that your lifestream series is absolutely spectacular! Your take on the final fantasy VII story made me fall in love with the characters all over again. I’m looking forward to seeing more of your work in the future! 

JairusTLS

@shade2001 Thanks! I definitely have quite a bit more in store, so be sure to stick around! ^_^

I just started reading your lifestream series and I wanted to say it's amazing!

JairusTLS

@LordLavak Yeah,  I am. Been writing the next chapter, actually. Now that the Fort Condor arc in Lifestream is done, I'm bringing my attention back to Reflections for a bit.
