The most fantastical element of this story is someone acing AP Physics.

[@Katytastic]

phillippa is a superhero in her own right

[@sbscarlett]

Petition for Kat to narrate the audiobook for her own book when it comes out

[@elliejordan3233]

Total need, her reading of this one was so cool

[@emilykate0835]

I've always said that, she has the most soothing voice

[@AbiSaad]

YES, PLEASE.

[@Katytastic]

i mean if i get the chance, i'd be down XD

[@melissateodola1887]

I was thinking this too!!!

[@maya-gur695]

I'm really into this whole "authors read their work live" thing. John Green did this too. I'm so glad to actually hear something that you wrote.

[@Katytastic]

ah thank you! and yesss i love it when authors read their own work!

[@zyt1217]

aka Philippa being done with Jane for an entire story straight

[@tinkercubicton]

Z yt the only thing you got wrong was Philippa doing anything straight

[@dazaimaru5799]

And vice versa lol

[@bhavikanugo9888]

“we ALL have afterschool jobs too jane and we still showed up on time” “and now we’re both gonna be eaten by really dramatic vampires” “that one on ellen wore a plaid suit. he had a man bun!” i’m WHEEZINHSKSKKS

[@jeremiahbok9028]

"That one on Ellen wore a plaid-suit. He had a manbun." ha ha!

[@samjensen392]

I would like a full novel with these two. The short story was great, and I love the characters and the world, and I need more, please and thank you.

[@stanisawgrabowski6256]

KAT I LOVED THIS SO MUCH THIS WAS SO CUTE AND ACTUALLY HILARIOUS LIKE I HAVENT LAUGHED THIS MUCH IN A WHILE OMG YOURE SUCH AN AMAZING WRITER!!!!

[@Katytastic]

AHHH SO GLAD YOU ENJOYED

[@stanisawgrabowski6256]

Katytastic oh of course!!! can’t wait to read anything you ever write!!!

[@silverkyre]

I love your writing. It's fantastic and the dialouge sounds very natural and fun. Not to mention your reading voice is perfect. Please do audiobooks. I need everything read by you!

[@digital_aniya]

This was so fun and entertaining to listen to. 2019 was simpler, hell yeah. The end, the end killed me. xD

[@Katytastic]

haha so i actually wrote this last summer and originally wrote 2019, but when i was revising it this week i was like "i need to change the year to 2020 because it's 2020 now!" but then i was like "actually wait this is supposed to be a fun escapist piece, let's stay in 2019......" XD

[@sionaniloinsigh4242]

Oh my God I love the vampires! I love Philippa and the sound effect of the grenade it was like a marvel movie! Please make more of these! This one was hilariously and I genuinely felt for Philippa when she was talking about her valedictorian speech getting cut, like that sucks. I loved hearing your story and I really hope you continue to write cause you're really good at it!

[@lunadawn671]

Yes, that sound effect was amazing!

[@sydneysbooks]

Can I count this towards my Goodreads reading challenge 😂

[@allbookedup6075]

I’m going to! 😂

[@dazaimaru5799]

I was already enjoying this story and then 19:38 "(click) A government perk" absolutely killed me 😂

[@cutiepie120048]

Same

[@authorgkray]

Every part of this story was genuine and funny and I loved it. Your story structure/dialogue flows smoothly! 10/10. Philippa and Jane are major goals. Jane gives me total Kim Possible vibes, but I also got some Buffy vibes in there.

[@onomattopoeiaa3056]

THAT 👏 WAS 👏 BRILLIANT 👏

[@onomattopoeiaa3056]

I absolutely adored every second of it! The story is incredible, the characters are so real, and the worldbuilding was unbelievable for such a short piece. Your narration was perfect! The voices and acting made everything so much better! (I especially loved the cheeky arm talking for Jane.) I love love love this story, Kat!! 💖 [Edit: mistyped word]

[@matteahayn]

I second all of this!

[@ryethedecent]

*spoilers*: OH MY GOSH bahaha when you got to the “you can’t keep playing matchmaker with unsuspecting mortals” I dramatically snorted into my coffee gross but that’s amazing what a twist

[@TheRemixers109]

*aggresively resists urge to draw fan art of these two*

[@Katytastic]

omg if you end up making fan art you MUST show it to me please IT'S THE LAW!!!!

[@ender4344]

👀👀

[@ohsoabby4689]

LOVED THAT STORY SO MUCH!!!! the dialogue was so witty and fun! and the ending with the vampires was 11/10!

[@jadesmediacorner]

“Now we’re both going to be eaten by really dramatic vampires!” when i tell you i just SCREAMED

[@Nayukuo]

kat: "philipa realizes she's just standing there, staring, mouth hanging open" me: oh same bitch also i'm losing it this was so good. i've found a new otp. this is it for me folks. that plot twist ending?? iconic.

[@juliascastanheira]

I love how instead of using “her”, “she”, “that girl” or something else she uses “she who *insert something snarky*” that just makes the story funnier and more realistic

[@ARoyalReader]

"That vampire on Ellen wore a plaid suit and had a man bun!" I LOVE Philippa so much omg she's hilarious! Kat I love this so much I cannot wait to read more of your work, seriously this is amazing ahh

[@danahkopsida]

This was so good!!! The last scene is just *chefskiss*

[@katiegrace8376]

Holy crap that was AMAZING and so cute, I was fan-girling the entire time

[@musicalnerds101]

Is is possible for your soul to smile?? That’s what’s happening to me right now! I loved that so much!!! I never knew I needed a wlw super hero story but my life is forever changed. The comedy, the characters, the suspense, the unabashed gayness!! Oh my god this was the perfect thing. Please share more short stories! I really loved that and would 100% love more about these characters. Thank you!

[@AbiSaad]

oh! don't mind me smiling like an idiot during the whOLE STORY, THAT WAS THE CUTEST SHIT!!! I LOVED IT SO MUCH KAT! ❤🌈😊 also, the voices you do for the vampires are hilarious

[@addangel]

ashdfhfhfj this was so AMAZING!! I LOVED EVERY CHARACTER! I WANT MORE OF YOUR WRITING!!!

[@BrittanyandBooks]

your dialogue is so good omg!! and you voiced it all so perfectly, it felt like i was really listening to an audiobook aha.

[@Katytastic]

ahh thank you!

[@hayleynelson1155]

I lol'd irl at "that was funny for about four seconds until..." great :)

[@brianw.johnson1081]

This is so good! “That one vampire on Ellen wore a plaid suit. He had a man bun!” is such a funny line!

[@mariachiarasalvucci8941]

oh my god the story is great and you’re great at reading as well !!!! the twist at the end was so unexpected and fun and I enjoyed every single word!! keep doing what you’re doing girl love you xx

[@Katytastic]

THANK YOU!

[@llamagodz8266]

Oh my god, that was amazing. Please share more of these in the future!!!!!

[@briwanderz]

best audiobook i've listened to all year... i thought for a second it would be interesting to animate the story as well, but then i decided Kat's acting is to interesting to not be in it. may i have some more please. :)

[@GioNavas]

GIRL. I was listening to this while drawing and I was completely ABSORBED. It was so funny and action packed and everything I love in a book. I'd love to see more of these characters. Thank you for sharing it with us!!

[@Katytastic]

ahh thanks gio!! i'm so glad you enjoyed

[@A.H._]

I LOVED IT, OMFG. It’s gay, it’s funny, it’s relatable, it’s about a lot of things I’ve wondered about, IT’S FREAKING PERFECT. And I loved the ending. Boy, I didn’t know how was your writing like, but if everything is like this, I’M ON BOARD. I LOVED IT. Thank you so much, I’M OBSESSED.

[@tatianawirth6455]

There is nothing I love more than two idiots that love each other EVEN THOUGH THEY DON'T REALIZE IT! This story is absolutely fantastic and even though it's absolutely perfect I can't help but want to see them actually get together lol

[@mackenziebrynnrap]

AAAAAAAH ILOVEITILOVEITILOVEITILOVEITILOVEIT!!!!! Definitely gave off some good fun Buffy vibes if that was what you were going for. Kind of also reminded me of "Collateral Damage" by Taylor Simonds, which is about a background character in an MCU type world. I'd totes be down to hear about your thought process and development ideas and stuff on this one, it was super cute and fun and knowing all the hot tea behind the scenes stuff sounds EXCELLENT! Also, your narration, *insert Lady Gaga really good adjectives gif here*! This is why I'm a bit picky about narrators for audiobooks, cuz I feel like they need to know the cadence and flow and voices/accents to make the story sound more real, and when its not acted appropriately it kinda kills it. But you know your own story so your reading of it was gorg! Also have you thought about doing narration more? Methinks it could be another nifty source of income and you do have great narrator voice so liiiiiiiiiiiike. Anywho, FANTASTIC work, love to you and can't wait for more!(?) ;)

[@thatbluerose1]

That Ellen line made laugh out loud, well done!

[@Mojojobud]

That was so adorable!!! I loved hearing some of your writing. Hope to get to read/hear more soon.

[@NotBulletProof245]

THAT WAS SO CUTE! Obviously I already supported you publishing a book but now I want that to happen even more, this story was so good

[@tinkercubicton]

THIS WAS SO GOOD AND SO INSPIRING WHEN I NEEDED TO REFILL MY CREATIVE WELL 10000000/10

[@mithzelluque4754]

this reminds me so much of that theory between students when we would kid that our teachers put us in groups or in pairs or seated us next to each other because they ship us together, but with vampires lmao loved your narrative voice, it fit so well with the voices i would have imagined if i had read this physically. thank you for this!!!

[@Piggeroo]

This is so good! I've been trying to get into writing some short stories recently so this has given me both Emotions and motivation lol

[@Katytastic]

YAY! good luck w the short story writing!

[@sercemwksiazkach3446]

"She who taps on windows" 😂😂😂 I love how Philippa mocks Jane's title, your humor is the best

[@Mohammed-vy6zl]

watching it for the 7th time , the grenade scene is always my favorite. GO KAT AUDIOBOOKING SKILLS

[@lilyreadsandotherthings]

OMG THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!! I loved the vampire twist! Ughhhh this story was just sooooooo gooooood and I'm craving more!!!!!

[@lunadawn671]

This was quite possibly the cutest thing ever. And if I wasn't already entirely too invested in your career as an author (which I definitely was), then I am now! Philippa's entire attitude toward Jane gave me life, and I couldn't have asked for a better ending. (Except maybe another short where they're together lol). I also loved the way you were miming the gestures as you read them! Anyway, I absolutely adored this and can't wait to read/hear more of your work!!!

[@acorn_woman]

Kat, thank you. I loved every second of this

[@Katytastic]

ahh thank you!!

[@acorn_woman]

@@Katytastic As an aspiring writer, I really find your writing and your process comforting

[@Spiritbro77]

I loved that! Very good! I want more of these! That was a very cool story. Thanks for posting this.

[@kristianisreal8689]

I was laughing out loud with it throughout. Loved this. Excited for the writing process video! I'm curious whether this story demanded any significant departures from your 27-Chapter Outline.

[@SuperHappyNotMerry]

I love this! It's such a cute little peek at these girls' world. Jane is endearing and the romance is very cute

[@phantasm137]

That twist at the end though!!! "Why can't you watch reality TV like everyone else?" Hahaha. Great short story.

[@nnt9498]

This is amazing. I would love more of you reading stories aloud and more of this story in particular. You would make a great narrator for audiobooks

[@Slendergirl89]

You have such a strong and distinct style in your stories, never stop telling them :)

[@annejia5382]

Kat's voice is sooo perfect for Middle Grade Audiobooks it's both so soothing and charming at the same time 😍

[@maddiepittman1944]

I loved that twist! You are such a good writer. I could read a whole series with these two.

[@jamie6202]

KAT!!!!! tell me why this had me laughing, swooning, tearing up, and then laughing again within the span of half an hour?!?! i've loved your writing videos for years and you've been such a huge inspiration to me creatively long before now...but i have to say that this story just proves my theory that you are one of the most awesome humans around. love you forever and I TOTALLY SHIP IT!!! (PS: was the vampire on ellen baz? i think i already know the answer...😉)

[@rachellawrence4390]

This was everything that I didn't know that I needed. I really enjoyed everything about this and I'm so thankful that this kind of representation is out in the world. it's so pure and wholesome. Thank you so much Kat! You're an excellent author and an excellent narrator. I loved existing in this world and away from our own for a little while!

[@themadreader9693]

DON’T CHANGE ANYTHING ABOUT THIS STORY!!! IT WAS SO AMAZING!!! ❤️

[@alyssacooper6553]

I dont comment often, but I've literally been watching your videos for YEARS now. Your writing videos really helped me get back into writing, and so finally hearing you read some of your work is really cool. This story was wonderful! It was really cute and I wasn't expecting the ending at all. I could read a whole book worth of short stories in this world, honestly. Hopefully I'll find the words to finish some of my own work one day, but until then I'll be here stanning for yours. Keep it up!! 💓

[@madelynricket]

that was so good!! I'm so ready to hear more of your writing!!

[@littledewdroplets]

I'm 5 months late to this but it's one of the best things I've seen on youtube for a while. Thank you for this, it's freaking wonderful. Also, miss your content a lot!

[@chaitnareads]
