The Urge - A Dan and Phil Fan Fiction by Dan Howell

'The Urge' written and narrated by Dan Howell. Illustrated by you!

In 'The Amazing Book is Not on Fire' Phil and I each thought it'd be funny to write a Dan and Phil fan fiction. We then narrated these ourselves in the audiobook version.

We thought we could celebrate them and the incredible artistic talent of our audience by collaborating to make illustrated versions of the stories!

And to everyone that submitted! It couldn't all make it in the video, but I saw and appreciated every single one :)

"Mom can you tell me a bedtime story?"
"Sure. It was a crisp winter's night in London, England..."

[peeposux]

dan: stop killing phil in fanfictions
also dan: *kills phil in fanfiction*

[ijustshitmyself]

Is it just me or is Dan an amazing writer?

[klaraendrstova]

you can clearly see wwho reads fanfiction between these two

[mckayla]

*that awkward moment when you're not living the vampire fantasy with your boyfriend so you write one instead*

[trashbin]

Other people: I want Morgan Freeman to narrate my life

Me: I want Dan to narrate my life

[bethf]

Dan and Phil: sTOP KILLING PHIL IN YOUR
Dan: kills phil in his fanfic
Phil: kills phil in his fanfic

[lisanne]

Dan in the tumblr tag: "Stop killing Phil in your stories."
Dan writing his own story: kills Phil

[TheRosemaryWest]

02:15 really does hit different, doesn't it
the parallels of
"His friendship with Phil was personal to him and not something he wanted to share with his family and friends who would mean well, but insult with every word of comfort."
vs
"what me and Phil had was ours and personal"

damn.

[mercedespaz]

youtube is being shady with these recommendations after dan's video lmao

[mefzy]

dan has such a nice speaking voice, omfg

[blurryebony]

dan in the tumblr tag video: "why do you guys keep killing phil? kill me instead." dan in the urge: "his friend, phil lester, was dead."

[daydreams-of-death]

"Phil grabbed Dan's wrists and pinned him to the tree"

1. Kinky
2. This doesn't sound like the first time Danny has made a fanfic

[kayoi]

Dan: A beautiful piece of literature about vampires, dark cold nights, death and survivor's guilt.
Phil: A story about Mutant hands, pancakes and Harry Styles

[neharika_p]

The fact that Dan wrote Phil pinning him against a tree and was okay with writing that..

[peukmiy]

I still can not believe DANIEL JAMES HOWELL wrote this.

[masteroftheheckinwicketyee]

Me: -Freaking out about everything-
Also me: Lol Phil’s holding a copy of tabinof in the coffin

[hm-fyiz]

the most unrealistic part of this is dan running

[charliewhelan]

there's absolutely no way that's his first time writing a fanfiction, it's just so beautifully written he has to have done it before...either that or his extensive vocabulary just make anything he writes sound like a work of art. but seriously, wow.
