Stories of Tie Up Games

Hmmm I’m curious why the questions about Cody. Like does Cody sleep in a nude?

I’m curious why would he care? Did wade ask that about him?

Does someone have a crush on our fellow cowboy?


Scott already knew the answer to that question. He just wanted something light and cheeky to put Nate at ...

Chapter 8: Dazed and Confused [warning: drugs]

When Nate got up, he noticed Cody, Ray, and Mason were already gone. Only Leo remained in the freshman bunks, sleeping like a dead man. Nate threw open the window, unconcerned with disturbing his bunkmate. The scenery outside – forest-covered mountains ...

These two are adorable! I love their relationship right away.
But Dark Souls???? For a non-gamer, Casey's going to have his work cut out for him!

This is an interesting game! I'll need to think about my answers and post when I have more time.
I also like @DeeperThanRed 's idea of doing it for my characters. Now there's a fun project!

A man after my own heart.

Another masterfully crafted chapter.

Leo definitely seems like he wants Hale to keep finding him. Letting him live with such an operatic flair and message? He's got another "deal" planned for Hale if they cross paths again. Which of course they will. Perhaps that box mentioned earlier and a one-way ...

More thrilling scrapes and daring escapes for our hero! Such wonderful atmosphere. I feel like I'm watching an old black-and-white movie.

Hubba hubba! This intro knocked it out of the park! Theme, tone, mood... I could see it all in my mind as I read.
This is going to be a classic. Bookmarking for sure!

I'm a little jealous. I was working on my own story with the same theme and you beat me to the punch! Lol.
I'm definitely holding ...

Thanks to everyone for the feedback. It's been so long since I've updated I was concerned if there was still interest. But I plan on updating more regularly now.

DeeperThanRed Ray and Mason's relationship will be quite different after this. Especially once the Brett situation comes to light. It ...

In this story I'm constantly torn between "wow, a life of perpetual bondage, what a dream" and "there are more of you then him, take out Luke and get your life back!"

Fantastic writing, love the suspension


It's an interesting dichotomy, isn't it? On the surface it seems one way, but all four ...

Wow! Such a unique and charming tale! Mood, tone, and style were perfection!

Nice story! Great job!

An intriguing start. Keep it up!

Great story! Sounds like a fun time!

It's been waaaaaay too long, but I managed to get my creative juices flowing again. Hit a literary dry spell for a while. But hopefully that's past and I can continue. As an "I'm Sorry" for being absent for so long, this next chapter is significantly longer than usual. Enjoy!


Chapter 7 – The ...

DUNE references in Tau Epsilon.

I noticed 3:

!) Gom jabbar. Term used by Leo before being paddled by a senior. in Dune, the term refers to a test used by the Bene Gesserit to determine if the subject is a human or an animal. An animal reacts by instinct, but a human can override instinct.

Ooh, a much-needed attitude adjustment!
While Andre could stand to lighten up a bit (especially considering what a reputation for partying that a lot of military men have), Gary went about it in the complete wrong way. And now he needs to learn!

Loving it so far!

After some time away I come back to several back-to-back chapters of this mesmerizing tale!
The interplay between the crew members is fascinating and it was a welcome gift to learn more about Crest.
As Tommy begins his deeper training, it makes me wonder what his niche in the Crew will be. Oh, Luke ...

I just came back after a (too) long hiatus and this was the first story I decided to catch up on.
And boy, am I glad.
The scene where dad finally gets his comuppance was beautiful in its execution! A wonderful end for the first entry in John's diary!

Thanks for the feedback! It's really appreciated.

But Mason and Ray are definitely not related. They're neighbors, but that's it. Mason's parents are both professional types who work all the time. They were too busy for him during his developmental years, so that's one of the reasons he's so ...

Glad to see things back up and running. Thanks to everyone for their hard work!!!

I have a question, though. When the site moved over, I noticed punctuation marks like apostrophes and quotation marks somehow got mangled in the board movement. In my stories, at least, they appear as garbled ...

Hi, everyone. New to the forum, and new to Tau Upsilon Gamma. Still working my way through the introductory channels.
My comment so far: Wow! Just wow!
Such likeable characters-- and they have depth. OMG!


Thanks so much! I've been rather MIA recently (what with the site continuously migrating ...

Finally back!


INTERLUDE: Meanwhile… In Bora Bora

“Any heroic last words?”

The volcano belched heat and smoke upwards into the air, narrowly missing the figure suspended above. A complex titanium scaffolding system had been erected on the caldera’s edge and it was slowly lowering its ...
