It is an honour to be mentioned. 
10 reasons why Nate is afraid of YWSers:
Reason One: They seem to write about things he's afraid of. He fears what other fears they know about.
Reason Two: They worship him like an idol. It's quite cultish and creepy and makes him very uncomfortable. He often ponders if he's going to be a human sacrifice in a Satanic ritual.
Reason Three: They cause him awful headaches. "Nate there's a bug here!", "Nate, why is YWS down?", "Nate! Restock the Chatroom fridge!".
Reason Four: They are quite violent. Many claim they will form an angry mob and rise against him if he ever takes down the site. He has built a fallout shelter to hide in when that day arrives.
Reason Five: They are hiding in his bushes trying to snap paparazzi-style pictures of him. He's very glad that they haven't caught any of him with his imaginary chimpanzee wife, Helena.
Reason Six: They leave him out of things purposely. It makes him feel very lonely and ostracized. He has yet to taste chat cookies, tea, or cake. And when they do offer him things, he's afraid they've been drugged and upon passing out they will kidnap him.
Reason Seven: They seem to think YWS is the center of the universe and Nate has the entire rest of his life to run it. He has a life outside of YWS and another job. He fears YWS will eventually be the death of him.
Reason Eight: They are the mightiest warriors on earth. The pen is mightier than the sword and YWS is home to the most skillful and ruthless wordsmiths. He wouldn't ever want to get in the way of them.
Reason Nine: YWSers are strange creatures. They seem to be made up of Hatts, Stegosauruses, Strangers, and Star Wars robots. He's not sure how to properly engage with such creatures or what they really are. He fears they may eat him.
Reason Ten: They leave the infamous Nobody Chickens behind when they leave chat. He fears they are really spies gathering information to overthrow him in order make Rydia or Snoink Supreme Overlord of YWS instead of himself.
Maybe Reason five needs to be rewritten? I dont know it just seemed a tad bit insulting. Other than that I laughed too hard at this one xD.
Hey Sunny!
This was amazing. I have been reading a few of these and they are very amusing. I love that you choose YWSers. This is too funny, and I give you credits for coming up with a bunch or random reasons that Nate is afraid of us! Very well planned out, and it was real fun to read. Thanks for sharing! *Likes*

Hey there! This peice seems to be really popular already, so I decided I'd give it a review quickly 
So, out of the few of these that I read, this is by far my favorite. I found most of the reasons you wrote, very amusing! Reason 2, though, was the only one that had me laughing out loud. Don't get me wrong, I found all of it amusing, it's just, 2 was hilarious xD
Okay, as already mentioned, Reason 5 may have been a bit offensive. Though, I will say that if "Helen" is completely fake, then it's nothing to sweat about. Perhaps you should go about this "controversial pictures" joke in a different way, though.
Other than that, I found this peice quite amusing and fun to read! Ill be sure to keep my eyes open for more of your work! c:
Most of these were quite amusing, especially given how crazy obsessed many YWSers are about Nate! I especially like Reason 2. That made me laugh! A Nate cult indeed! Sometimes, I wonder if it were true.
The ones that I didn't like were five and six.
Warning: I really, really didn't like five because that's just... weird. Bestiality jokes about significant others? That's an odd thing to joke about. I mean, I get how it's supposed to be funny, since monkeys won the war back in the first contest... but it really isn't funny at all. It would be like joking that my husband is a pig because I like pigs a lot. And, as much as I like pigs, I would be really pissed off at you if you were to write that about my husband because he's a real person and don't you dare insult him. So I don't like that one at all, just because I wouldn't like it if you wrote the same for me. I almost didn't like this piece at all because of that reason.
I also think six is weird too, because I don't think YWSers try to exclude Nate in any activities. I think they are more likely to get so excited that "OMG IT'S NATE" that they freeze up and hyperventilate and do all that stuff that you do when you meet a celebrity! And I think that is a funnier image than the one you have currently up there. So, I would edit it accordingly, if only to make it funnier! YWSers are excitable people... but kidnappers who have a vendetta against Nate? Not so much. 
Anyway! The other reasons are quite funny! They stretched the truth just enough to be amusing. So, I liked it. Of all the Nate fears list (why is this a trend now?) this is probably the most amusing one that I've read.
I mean, I realize that many people think mental illness and/or mental disorders are hilarious because some people do crazy things -- in the literal sense! -- that often seem funny to anybody who doesn't have any mental illness. But I've known too many people struggling with mental illness to really think laughing at it is funny. And I also know too many people who try to hide the fact that they have any sort of mental disorder because they are afraid of people laughing at them. Because people do laugh at them and treat their illness as comedic entertainment, and minimize their symptoms because they only care about their symptoms as entertainment. And I really don't like that either.
Yeah, we definitely are scary. I wonder what Nate thinks about us right now with all of these "Ten Reasons Why Nate Is Afraid Of ______." I am sorry Nate for our strange actions, but we are writers and readers. We were probably all dropped on our heads as babies.
