Introducing my new Tumblr sideblog for my IT Crowd fanfiction!

Hello! My name is Lu and I'm a 22-year-old writer from the Midwest who currently lives in Austin. I am a huge cinephile which is my one defining personality trait. This summer, my goals are to make real bread for the first time, eat healthier, outline my next screenplay, and get my temps license (because I can't drive). To procrastinate all of that, I'm working on a side project!

I began writing a long-form IT Crowd fanfiction in 2018 (age 15) which had a small but mighty community of dedicated fans on Wattpad. I am incredibly thankful for the readers who STILL encouraged me to finish writing even after a six-year-long cliffhanger! Hitting 20k reads in 2025 meant a lot to me.

In succumbing to IT Crowd brainrot yet again, I was surprised to find there are still less than a handful of long-form IT Crowd works available online, including mine. Also, looking back on the work I wrote when I was 15, I realized that it would benefit a lot from a rewrite (obviously). After I put on my slightly larger glasses, I had a bit of a eureka moment!

Now that I'm on summer break from my M.F.A., I'm planning to take some time to write some low-stakes, no-pressure stuff for myself. So join me as I start the journey of a new(ish) long-form IT Crowd work, temporarily titled Unexpected Reboot!

Unexpected Reboot is a rewrite of The Grant: An IT Crowd Fanfiction, only with an actually coherent plot, and a couple other updates and tweaks for being, well, written by a 15-year-old in 2018. I'm not changing a couple words and cutting a couple scenes--it'll be a page 1 rewrite with a completely different plot, but the same characters and storyline told in a more satisfying way.

Like The Grant, Unexpected Reboot answers the question: What if yet another woman was hired at the IT Department, but she was another standard nerd?

Well, for starters: Comedy. Action. Romance. It's just another day in IT. I can't spoil too much this early ;)

This blog will feature updates on my writing process, goofy memes and polls, and general IT Crowd stuff. At some point, I am also hoping to host a cover design competition! My ask box is always open for questions, comments, and general goofiness.

Side note - I hate Glinner and as a big FU to him I have a list of LGBTQ+ resources for the US & UK on my blog. Please feel free to send trans mutual aid requests, fundraisers, or even just more great links to my submission box.

All updates on the fanfiction will be tagged as #it crowd unexpected reboot! Follow the tag for updates.

Looking forward to hearing from you! All the best, Lu <3

As you may know the Data Bill is currently going through UK parliament, and Conservative amendment would force agencies to record sex/gender as birth sex only. As if this doesn't go far enough to humiliate and discriminate against trans and intersex people, this amendment would also require all state agencies (DVLA, Passport Office, etc) to revert and purge all sex data that doesn't correspond to sex at birth within 12 months. This would mean that trans people with corrected documents could see these being voided and replaced, leaving them open to being outed, discriminated against, and in many cases, putting their lives at risk. T*rf organisations like S*x Matters have already mobilised and are encouraging their flying monkeys...I mean supporters to email their MPs about this bill. While it is unlikely that it will go through (Nadia Whittome received assurances that it will be voted down by the government), the support it receives has a high chance of encouraging Labour to put a similar amendment through in the future. We need to show that we stand together as a community against this. It's probably safe to say that almost everyone here knows and loves a trans and/or intersex person, or in fact is a trans and/or intersex person. Rights are at risk. We can't just say we love and support our trans siblings, we need to take action. Write to your MP and tell them why this bill is wrong and that trans people MUST be protected and supported.

Please do not be rude to your MP or send them verbal abuse (even if it's tempting). This is not the time for that. Use clear, polite and firm language to make your point. As a community, we must be mindful of how we approach this, as lives are at stake. While you are writing about this issue, please also consider mentioning the detrimental effect the Supreme Court ruling has had. Many trans people find themselves banned from public bathrooms all together as organisations struggle to meet the unrealistic aims of the EHRC. On the 6th of May 1933, the Nazis looted the Institute of Sexology. Do not let them do this in 2025.

Moss:(laughing) Oh, dear me.

Jen: What are you laughing at?

Moss: This flipping circuit board, Jen. Some chump has run the data lines right through the power supply. Amateur hour! I've got tears in my eyes.

wrote a roy/moss fic. in my mind, these guys would never get together anyway or admit to anything in canon, but if they did, it would be weird and contrived and maybe something like this.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?
