TheLifestream.net has long struggled with its identity. With no FFVII news, what is there to do? Well, quite a lot actually. I have always seen TLS as being in a good position to become a great hub for FFVII content and it is my wish to help the site become just that:
A Final Fantasy VII Hub.
I draw much inspiration from the spectacular site Chrono Compendium. If you want to find any information about the Chrono series, there is where you can find it.
(It should be mentioned though that while the site at present do not plan to include a wiki-style encyclopedia, like the Chrono Compendium has, such a feature may become an option later on when TLS has grown significantly.)
I have written a series of mission statements or Site Goals. But for those who don’t like reading fancy definitions, what is the short story?
To be a guide and resource to the FFVII franchise in terms of its narrative, titles, products and fan-made content.
TLS is very willing to grow, but we need more work power. We need YOU to help fulfill the site goals!
We are always on the lookout for translators, hackers and people who enjoy documenting and analysing the many facets of the FFVII franchise. So even if you do not belong to the two first categories, there is still a good chance you can contribute!
Browse the assignments in the aptly named Project List. If anything catches your interest that you think you can add to, join the forum and post in the thread to enlist! Or if you have an idea for an additional project that suits the written goals of TLS, tell us!
Speaking of changes, the front page will see more renovations of its content and layout, so be on the look-out for that!

Well done. I feel confident the project is in good hands.
Good to hear about such complicated plans for the future 😀 Love the site. Keep up the good work!

In my opinion, TheLifestream.net is a great “Final Fantasy VII Hub” already. There are so many good in-depth articles to find here. The goal to write even more interesting content is something I really appreciate. I’m looking foward to future projects. Everyone, keep up the good work!
I love the current front page layout! But I really appreciate the extra time, work, efforts, and overall commitment to the site! This is already my one-stop site for FFVII news coverage so I am pleased to hear that there will be more reasons for me to stay dedicated to regularly frequenting the site!
I’m actually doing my Independent Study about the psychological aspects of Cloud’s guilt complex and Sephiroth’s Oedipus complex, and I’d be more than willing to do more, similar papers when I’m done with the class. Would that count?
It does indeed count. We will soon have a separate “Essays & Analysis” section online and your feature is exactly the type of material that would fit in there.
I am still trying to figure out the best “submission policies and procedures”, but for now you can simply contact me or Squall_of_SeeD (the newly appointed manager of the coming “Essays & Analysis” section) to review your article before it is posted. We will also need to know whether you want to write the html code of the article yourself (assuming you host it here on TLS and not offsite) or if you’ll leave that task to Squall_of_SeeD. =)
