Thank you!
This was a terrific story, so mind-bogglingly perfect I wished that i had written it. *grin* But I'm happy I didn't, because I got to read it without knowing what happens next. I suspected, I extrapolated, I plotted and reviewed ... but I didn't know. And for that gift alone, I thank you.
The fact that it was so damned good? THANK YOU!
*hugs tight*

Great story telling!
What a great tale! This is a real masterpiece of fully-realized story-telling populated by (mostly) real people, including two who were impossible not to love. I think Team Spirit II immediately launches Meps98 into the top tier of TG writers.
I'm already going into Honey withdrawal. I can't believe that I'll have to live without her from now on. She's just a wonderful TG heroine, ending up warm, radiant and funny. She goes through an amazing journey, some of it brutal and a lot of the rest not at all pleasant (to say the best for it), but she finally emerges into the sunshine.
Along the way, she shows remarkable self-awareness, resilience, courage and, eventually, hard-earned warmth. Despite her many obviously feminine character traits (including a forthrightly expressed sexuality), all this builds on her former self, the football star, who had to have an indomitable spirit, calm under pressure and ability of improvise to succeed. Honey expresses those traits as well when she needs them. The aspect of the story that finally makes it so heart-warming is her growth, starting as an abuser (in the original), moving on to thoroughly abused and humiliated, but then seeing the possibility of another way to live, and finally realizing that possibility fully.
This story was also amazingly well plotted and I didn't notice a single inconsistency in the plot or of the behavior of the characters; they always stayed true to themselves. This is truly an amazing effort from a first time author. There's also plenty of sex, but it's so well integrated into the plot and emerges so naturally from the characters and situations, that's not gratuitous or intrusive.
For all of you who are looking for a story you can sink your teeth into, one that has substance, three-dimensional characters, and a creative plot, Team Spirit II is a story for you. You won't regret a single moment you spend reading it.
Wowsers!
I'm with Randalynn. This is a terrific story from beginning to end. Well told, plotted, and with wonderful characters. I can't help but wonder what Amy Hanson wanted with those hair samples. I hope it was just to confirm Honey was dead, but you never know. I also liked how Bob was healed in more than one way. He is such a great contradiction of caring and brutal practicalities. Dr. Hanson got her chance to reform, but if she even looks their way I don't doubt he'll do every thing he said he was going to do. I can't say again how good this was. Wow!
Hugs!

What a story!
Power, priviledge, admiration, then down to depths of depravity, only to end with a wonderful life of love and family! Wow! I sometimes felt as though you had dragged me kicking and sceaming through a story that ultimately ended in a very satisfying manner. Masterfully done, just wonderful!

Bravo! This is as great as
Bravo! This is as great as they come. Everything's here, great characters with depth, the depravity and nobility humans, fantastic plot twists. I'm really in love with the characters and just really really pleased with the storytelling. Great work Meps, Bravo, and i hope to read more of your work in the future. Thank you!
WOW
I have to believe that this author works elsewhere under other names and is very possibly published. I won't say this is the best story in this genre, but that is only because there are a few stories that are truly great. None I can think of that are better, but a few that I would call equal. This is right there on the very top tier of all TG stories. There is a lot of stuff I don't like that gets published. It is stories like this that keep me coming back. I have enjoyed this story immensely. Bob is one of the most complex and interesting characters I have had the pleasure to meet in any genre.
I loved the fact that the few grammatical errors were minor and understandable. I have seen the same things pass into many published books. The amazing thing was that never was there a mix up of names. The plot was entirely consistent. The different view points took a little to get used to, but they added so much to the story.
The only issue I can find with this story is I can't look forward to another chapter next week. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this weekly.
Not true about the names
Quote from story---------
“Sarah, how much do you weigh?â€
“Uuuhh about one twenty five.â€
Piper snorts. “Try one thirty five.†Sarah gives her the death stare.--- End quote
Remember they were looking in the RV's for Piper, who is unconsious in the RV, so it should have been "Brit snorts------------etc."
good story anyway.

Thank You
Compelling story, complex characters, lots of action, and misdirection with and extremely satisfying conclusion. I will say that I was concerned for a little while that Debbie hadn't ended up with Bob, but the author left enough clues before the reveal.
Thanks again to the author. This had to have been a very significant effort. I hope your are satisfied and and proud of the result. I definitely have appreciated being able to read it.
Great Story
Thanks for the great story Meps (sorry you didn't get comments from me for each installment, but I was reading and enjoying them as they came out).
My only constructive criticism is that the last two installments had the feeling of purposely keeping the reader in the dark to build suspense. I know this is a very common occurrence in literature and movies, but I'm not fond of it. It didn't bother me when we weren't privy to Bob's plans/feelings in the earlier episodes, because you were consistent with that throughout, but suddenly, in the last two installments, we were completely without Honey's perspective, despite her perspective being the main driver of the narrative. I feel like there were plenty of other ways you could have built suspense without just leaving us wondering if Honey was dead. Sure, give us a short time to worry if Honey was really dead, but then cut to her being worried about where she is when she awakens, and let us share in the suspense of not knowing if her escape will ultimately be successful. There is a lot of suspense available there, and I was disappointed to miss out on it in order to allow for "Is Honey dead?" sledgehammer suspense.
Sorry for the large block of text, feel free to ignore it if you don't agree, and please know I don't mean to in any way detract from your amazing story. It was a great read and I'm very thankful you wrote it and decided to share it with us.
Please keep writing,
Jrepg
Thank You
