About

metassus.com is the home site for the ever-popular bacterium metassussi inflamatorium and lists cures for this terrible affliction.

Meet the meat

Metassus is also the nom-de-plume of a writer, photographer and prize-winning duck molester from the West of Ireland.

He adores bovines, wolves and ducks, though not all in the same place at the same time. He believes that only two of the three might be delicious when roasted.

Metassus’s lifetime ambition is to win a ridiculous amount of money in the lottery so he can continue his new career of doing nothing. If that doesn’t happen he may have to go find some real work. Over the years he’s been involved in several ventures: retail management, radio presentation, I.T. (since 1982 — ruined his life), photography, tutoring in many subjects, customer relations, quality control, book publishing and a host of design-related things, and still no-one has figured out that he hasn’t a clue. He hopes that will continue into the future.

The Thursday Prompt

A contributor to the Fur Affinity website since 2007, he chose to use his eponymous domain as an archive and showcase of his works first posted to that site. A couple of years ago he became involved with the Thursday Prompt on FA, a popular writing exercise created and run by Poetigress. The concept is simple: a topic is posted every week, whereupon the prompt participants create an outline or work based on that theme. Many of the works presented here were first inspired by Thursday Prompts and it is highly recommended to anyone wishing to challenge their writing abilities.

Metassus has had works published several times in his secret-real-life-identity and a mere once as the ‘Purveyor of the Pawprint.’ He’s not overly keen to repeat the latter experience as the stress of whoring one’s self is just too great for his false modesty.

‘There are only so many starlet-swoons one can do before both one’s friends start to call one a drama-queen to one’s face.’
