I'm sorry, but I'm really busy with university stuff and trying to get everything done in time and it's difficult to find time to do a proper report. I'm glad I could find the time to even play my parts.
From my first part I can report that I played it through as fast as I could, did not get Vincent because I didn't want Cid to be named after me and that's it really.
I guess I might as well do a report of the second part. I did take a few screencaps this time.
So I went north and found Lex.
After which Doran went coocoo and tried to kill him. Luckily he stopped just before anyhting bad happened.
But then something bad happened.
And now Lex is not allowed to do any of these things.
And then Doran became jealous because Lex always steals the show.
I know, so unfair.
Now Sephirot is confused.
And then we fought, and then we won. And after that it was time to say goodbye to Lex.
And after Lex is not there to steal the attention Doran can finally open up about his feelings.
The End...no wait.
I hope that satisfied your needs.

I messaged Fangu about the next chapter, and when she said she couldn't do it until today at the earliest, I suggested she could take the following chapter (which is supposed to be Ornstein's, but he isn't around) and let someone else do this one. I then completely forgot to mention any of that here, so nobody has done it. My bad. 
Fangu, go ahead and play the chapter you were originally supposed to have (13). If anyone wants to volunteer to play chapter 14 - someone other than myself, Lex or Doran, ideally, since we're already scheduled to play three each - please make yourself known!

All right, chapter 14 is done!
It starts with Fangu saying something I totally agree with, but he curiously opts to not swear. Say what?!
I'll never stop being grateful for these glorious pools.
Remember what I said last time about not being the most amazingly skilled player and ending up with one of the toughest bosses in the game? Rinse and repeat!
Oh Murphy you cruel bastard.
I took a moment to appreciate the beautiful scenery. I was all the more calm because I know Jenova is a push-over.
I always feel so sorry for these derps...
So Doran can lose it again. I guess he wanted to give it to Seph personally.
I kept noticing this guy. To be fair, Teiocho did go talk to him. Pretty sure he's D-E-D.
Rufus Shinra. Dishing out sick burns since the OG
Doran sulks on the ceiling because he isn't a real boy and Sephy isn't playing fair.
Meteor is coming! Doom! Inevitable DOOOOOOM! Rufus decides to calm himself by killing people.
Not sure how quickly I'll get to the next chapter!

Rufus Shinra. Dishing out sick burns since the OG
I have always loved this line. And "A good son would have known" from Advent Children is right up there with it. Rufus really is great at delivering a really biting line.
This is one of those lines I would be afraid of them changing if they did a retranslation for some future release.

All right, here it is, chapter 15.
I noticed this for the first time. Wonder whom it's a statue of.
Bow-chicki-bow-wow.
Weapon don't care.
Oh man I can never get this thing right fast. Thankfully Arya can't really die.
Is it just me or did Sapphire Weapon just - never mind...
Scarlet's eyes weird me out. Is it the slapping, or did she always look like that? Also, why is Arya resorting to lame bitch-slapping when she can properly kick ass?
A Highwind appears!
Isn't she a beaut?
Is this a spelling mistake, or is it there to convey this man's odd speaking mannerism? *Strokes chin*
Doran asks the important questions in life.
Arya.... comforts Doran after everyone leaves.
Always makes me giggle.
I didn't buy new weapons in Mideel, just some Crystal Bangles. Also didn't sidequest. Have fun!

Okay!
Chapter 16
So I started as Teiocho on the Highwind, things seemed more or less in order. Kuroto clearly looks up to her:
Fangu is patient as ever:
So we made for Corel to get the Huge Materia.
Who's on the case?
I cut it pretty close, I pretty much left equipment as it was, and it wasn't optimal for the train sequence. I was closing on being under a minute when I got to the engine, and I didn't know which cutscene would play. Fortunately, I just made it and we saved Corel. (Although the cutscene when you fail is pretty cool.)
We then went to Fort Condor, since we're short on money thanks to all you jokers, and I knew I wanted to buy some crystal weapons, I simply let Shinra come to me. I know you guys played plenty of this game earlier anyway. So we decided to check back on our vegetative leader.
But not before I hit on Teiocho a little bit:
We arrived in Mideel to see Cloud but,
The Ultima Weapon attcked! Teiocho reacted to the situation with Teiocho's usual calm demeanor.
The Weapon fled, Fangu was displeased,
The town then crumbled into the Lifestream, tossing Doran and Arya into it. Arya found herself in Doran's muddled subconscious and resolved to help him piece together his identity. Finally the explanations we've awaited!
Apparently, Doran disappointed Arya in other ways:
Although he eventually managed,
Sorry.
Seriously though, this part was always powerful to me:
The way the camera darts around. Slowly revealing who Cloud is, and with his pained admission at remembering it.
And this line:
was always awesome. Followed by Cloud's reveal accompanied by his, and FF7's, theme song.
D'awww
You got it!
Maybe not.
D'awww
Anyway, with Doran back together, he explains everything to the team on the Highwind, announcing the plan to continue on, and stop Meteor.
Cue catchphrase!
Come on, Flint, you know...the thing we say...
Arya then renders the support you expect from a dear friend
Fangu too,
And Teiocho confesses the hardest part of being a leader
Chapter 17
So, where to next?
...very well then.
So, we head to Junon to raid the Underwater Reactor for the final Huge Materia.
Something bothers Doran,
But we press on, and begin carving through Shinra troops...who I always start to feel bad for at this point of the game, as they really stand no shot against us. And you're famous enough at this point that they all recognize you and comment on that when they see you.
You can run into 2nd Class SOLDIERs, which are a bit more dangerous, but with Cloud back it's not a huge deal.
I always liked the Crystal Sword.
We press through, Force, ever focused on the task at hand
We catch up to Reno in the submarine bays,
He runs off and sicks a machine on us. No problem guys! We can take it!
&#^$! I hate Carry Armor.
Take 2
went better.
However, in our distraction, they escaped!
That's one of the only two times Cloud swears, right? Here and when you can't reach the Megalixir in Kalm?
We dash to take the other sub. A bold officer taunts us, his subordinates know better,
Then, in the cockpit it's our friends from the parade! (Coincidentally, my last chapter.)
I take pity on them. They are grateful,
We pursue the red sub, and take it down easily. I really like that minigame, although the story version is laughably simple. I like the other levels in Gold Saucer. After sinking it, Shinra orders everyone back to the airport as the Huge Materia that was collected from Nibelheim will be flying from there. We disembark outside Junon...
And there we go!

Chapter 18
Starting off with a trip back home where we find that Shinra has plans for my rocket. I wasn't happy and proceeded to yell at everyone.
Got hold of the materia and escaped before the rocket hit meteor. Not that it helped the planet much. Flintlock suggested we pay his grandpa a visit so off to Cosmo Canyon we went. We chatted a bit and then decided to head to the Forgotten Capital.
Finally Key in hand we returned to Bugenhagen and got to see a video of Lex getting killed. Thanks Bugenhagen.
And if we weren't sure, Fangu is here to remind us:
We learnt that there may be hope for the planet after all but there is one man standing in our way. And if that weren't enough, Midgar is suddenly attacked by one of the weapons. We had a fight and the team won.
That's Diamond weapon btw.
From the grainy images and the conversation afterwards I gathered that we are now heading to the North Cave to check on that barrier.
Extra:
I did have plans to breed some chocobos but then you'd never get the save file
Edit: To say, thank you Flintlock for letting me have your chapter. It was real fun to see my name attached to such angry ranting. There were quite a few interesting conversations being had in this chapter but I can't think of anything interesting to say about them

Okay, we're back. And many important things ahead of us.
But first we gotta have some fun.
Just in time I realised that I was not at full health. Thankfully I have adequate healing items.
I'm sure Lex will understand my need was great.
In I went. And everything was going swimmingly
But then I got... distracted
Combatants shouldn't be allowed to dress that sexily.
S'Fine, we can do other stuff.
After the submarine I wanted to go snowboarding.
Oh jee, let me think about Arya.
Everyone's a critic...
Afterwards, Arya got on the board anyway.
But I'm sure that didn't work out, it's a man's game.
Freaking lucky pilot!
So I was finally gonna settle things with Sephiroth, but then padding happened.
Fangu voiced what I was thinking.
Back to Midgar, to stop the Mako cannon from shooting at Sephiroth, on the help instead of hurt setting. Why does it even have that setting?
It was very lightly defended.
Damn, right.
Well, thank you, Dr. Hojo. Nice to know someone believes in me.
Then Kuroto got all jealous and killed him, I think.
So it turns out, we still got like 7 days before the Meteor gets here, so we had some time to bum around.
I'm the greatest hero of our time.
I think Teiocho's still bummed out that his big rocket is gone.
Speaking of which,
Arya and I spend our seven days... camping, yeah..
I'm getting that autograph!
So, final battle against Sephiroth. TLS assemble!!
Kuroto's standoffish demeanor around the board is addressed.
Stay tuned for the final installment of TLS community playthrough IN

We made it to the final chapter! Good job, everyone!
If anybody wants to do some sidequesting before Lex completes the game, now's the time. Make a post in this thread saying what you intend to do and I'll PM you the memory card file. Try to play as soon as possible after receiving the file.
I don't want anyone to intentionally mess with the save any more, though. Doran was entitled to use up as many Elixirs and Megalixirs as he wanted in his chapter, but that doesn't apply to people doing sidequests. Please don't trash any Materia or sell any more than is necessary either.
When nobody wants to play any more, or in a couple of days' time - whichever comes sooner - I'll turn the save over to Lex (who is also free to do sidequests). I'm sure he'll stream the ending; hopefully as many of the previous players as possible can join him for it.

I approve of the party used to fight Hojo. I always make a point to use those three
