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.

:) Just kidding. Your posting rate totally excludes from criticism, cyclist.
I've had the chance to read the whole of Team Spirit 2 and I can assure readers that it is indeed a very different story from the original. Never the less it isn't sweet and sentimental either but his has it's sweet moments. In fact it's all about a gradual process with a few setbacks on the way, some of which are violent. It certainly isn't Mills and Boon but well worth the time taken to read it.

The original story is on FM
It would be a good idea to take a look at it before deciding to read this sequel. I know there are some who like that sort of thing, but there are a number (including me) who don't. You need to know what you are getting into. For me, the last review posted (NOT by me) says it all.

In the end you have to decide for yourself.

I went outside once. The graphics weren' that great.
To be fair, the sequel and
To be fair, the sequel and the original have very different set ups. The sequel is about a reformed, sweet but strong woman's fight to escape from captivity and disproportional punishment from past transgressions she barely remembers. The original is all about taking revenge on an uncaring and egotistical rapist by forcing him into a never ending punishment far outweighing the crime.
I have! You are right!
It's good, but that Nobel prize winner, she ain't no prize, ya know? Vindictive, selfish and overly antagonistic bitch. I hope she gets hers, real soon!
