Hi folks

Kelly Ann Rogers here (I know, who?). I've been a bad girl (I know, you don't care).

I haven't yet commented on Team Spirit. My bad.

Let me be straight-forward. Team Spirit II is one of the absolute best TG stories to appear for quite a while. It's a must read. Here's why:

Amazingly, this is Meps98's first TG fiction story, but she writes as if she's been doing this for decades. This is a really well crafted story, easy to read and compelling.

Second, the story line is fabulous. It has more twists and turns than an Olympic slalom run, and you mostly feel like your skis arent' really holdinng . The narrative is really ingenious, pairing off two highly motivated, aggressive and brilliant adversaries (one's a Nobel Prize winner; when was the last time we had a Noble Prize winner in a TG story?).

Honey Sweet Lay, the focus of everyone's attention is one of the radiant heroines of TG story-telling. She's sweet as watermelon in August (and just as juicy), tough enough to take a beating, stunningly beautiful and sexy, and full of feminine needs that she no problem expressing. Her sexual needs are fully integrated into her personality (she was literally born to have sex) and she has no shame whatsoever about sex. She's not a character who has sex, she's just a damn sexy character.

Best, she has an ironic view of the world. She sees things from a special perspective and one of the real strengths of the story is how well Meps lets us get to know her. Oh, I almost forgot. She has the instincts of a quarter back who has to improvise something before that 400 pound linebacker has a chance to crush her.

The dialog is sharp and Meps is such a good writer that we often know what the characters are feeling just by what they say and how they say it. But another of the best parts is that we often get to learn what the characters are thinking. They let us know what they're thinking almost as often as we hear what they're saying. The often brief glimpses into the characters' heads makes everything more rich.

I guess I've gone on long enough.

I'm blown away be this marvelous new talent and the terrific story she is sending us by way of saying hello.

Read it. You'll thank me later.
