We don’t feature admins and/or mods very often at all. The reason for this is because, well, volunteering for YWS is already a huge honour, and people would probably think there was a fault in the system if mods were being featured left, right, and center! ;) And because we love to celebrate the members of YWS (none of us would be here, if y’all weren’t here). But none of us would be here if not for this member, so I think you’ll all agree that in this case… it’s a tad over-due.

Our Featured Member this time around is, hands down, one of the coolest people I know. He’s created a website that has over forty thousand members (40,000?!!?!?!!!), and has dedicated thirteen years of his life molding this site into what it is today. He’s a kind, humble, monkey-kinda guy, who never seems to stop giving! Don’t believe me? Take a look at the Holiday Weekend Rankings- he’s number five and is planning on passing Rydia! This doesn’t even begin to describe how much he’s done on and off YWS. Truly.

So who is this mysterious man?

Drum roll, please!

No, it’s not @freakforchrist, sillies! The Featured Member is none other than our very own, @Nate!

Nate, thank you for everything you do. It always amazes me how much effort you put in to make the simplest things that much more awesome for the members of YWS- like the season codes/decorations, the easter eggs in the people tab, the constant updates paid out of your own pocket to keep this place running smoothly, and everything! Thank you, thank you, a billion thank yous for this home and family, and for just being an awesome person in general. <3

Congratulations, Nate!!!

About time! I created this website and featured member just so that I could become featured member.

In all seriousness, thank you! I truly do appreciate it, but YWS wouldn't be the success that it is without all of you. So, I don't really feel like I deserve this, but thank you all the same :)

Thus far, YWS has been running pretty well for 13+ years, which is kind of astounding. There's no other site for young writers that has lasted as long, and there's really no reason why it couldn't stay around for another 13 years. So, maybe I'll be featured member again in December 2030?
