As excited as I am for the book, I can’t help but be scared at the prospect. There’s such a huge stigma surrounding youtuber books and even youtubers doing something BESIDES YouTube, so I guess I’m kinda afraid of this being a huge flop or people brushing it off as just another ‘yt book’
nonnie i never remember my dreams but i literally had a nightmare last night about this ashdhehdhd
(also this got really long im sorry apparently i have feelings i have been writing this for 20 mins lmao tldr i think the stigma is uncalled for, people hate dan too much, the book is probs gonna be good, and i dont the publishing numbers really matter cause thats not what hes writing for)
to me at least, i think the stigma around yt-er books as a whole is uncalled for. sure some of them are unoriginal or written by ghostwriters or just bad but i firmly don’t believe dan’s will be. its dan ffs, he is so funny and thoughtful and good with words i cannot wait to see what he says. also i have read some ‘yt books’ that are genuinely wonderful memoires. binge by tyler oakley and buffering by hannah hart come to mind. i also think its possible dan slowed down his yt career so its not considered a ‘yt book’ its just his book. personally, i think dan’s book is gonna be more like connor franta’s second book ‘note to self’ or dodie’s book ‘secret for the mad’ which are like more freeform compilations of writing, anecdotes, poetry, and photography. which i just think is really cool and unique and in character.
in terms of any sort of backlash, the book industry has changed since the whole yt book thing was a huge deal. youtubers have published books and its mostly gone under the radar lately. books are not a super profitable business, the mark-up is not a lot and publishers take most of the cut. dan’s audience isnt what it used to be, it possible in the mainstream book community it might be not super popular. creators like dan are not big news anymore, so although this is his big project and it will probably get some coverage, i don’t think it will be a huge deal outside of the phandom. which i think is fine, i think dans not writing to be on the best sellers list hes writing for himself and us. its cathartic and he wants to share. also dnp started the whole yt book thing. they were one of the first and they paved the way. to me that counts for something.
a lot of yt-ers do stuff besides youtube now and my point still stands that the stigma is uncalled for. media is all connected and why wouldn’t you try new things or take cool opportunities to see what happens. youtubers are an amazing, creative, talented bunch. look at all the tv show hosts who have been lost af trying to produce their own stuff from home while yt-ers have been doing that for years and thriving. i know im biased and also going into this industry, but anyone who is mad at people for trying to advance their career in a new direction or to live their dream can eff off.
my nightmare last night was about the phandom reaction tbh. we’re having fun now, but we’re on own worst enemy. people like to hate dan no matter what he does. people are gonna be mad that it’s ‘just a book’ (which like im sorry have you ever tried to write a book its a Lot), people are gonna be mad its a yt book, its not gonna be for everyone and theres gonna be hate around it. some people are gonna think its bad. to be honest, i don’t care. cause to me i know dan’s been working his ass off for years and i love reading his words, and like i said i think the stigma is uncalled for. i don’t think it can be bad, its dan. and thats not just me being a dannie thats me knowing what kind of person dan is and knowing his entire friggin soul is in this book (cue ‘my soul’ merch theorizing brb) and that i have no evidence to believe it will be a ‘bad’ book.
(this isnt at you nonnie to be clear, this next parts at haters which i have already seen) criticize your faves, but also be critical of the way you’re thinking and who you know they are to be. also don’t judge something we literally have zero information on besides one word on a website. also if you hate dan so much why are you here?

Show Notes under the cut
Questions from listeners
We answered some questions in our minisode, click here to listen to that one first
“Hey guys! I love that phancast! I love to re-listen to your videos while I’m at work to get through the day. I was wondering if you guys had any ideas or thoughts on what DnP will do in the future (youtube related). After watching dans live show about how he isn’t really concerned with videos and how he views himself as a creator and not a “youtuber” and what this means for them. I feel phil will go back to his usual but I am unsure what is going on haha there isn’t much “content” besides gaming”
As we answered something similar in the minisode, we talk about projects we’d like to see from D&P including a podcast, some other projects, and a tell-all book
“I can’t remember who said it but I bet you are so happy that II is on dvd!! I am excited for it to be a physical copy too!”
Jane was very happy about a DVD and has ordered too many copies.
Quick logistics question from us to you: If we uploaded these podcasts to YouTube, would that be something you’d be interested in? Is that a better way for you to listen or do the current hosting platforms work?
