It-crowd-unexpected-reboot - 1T CR0WD UN3XP3CT3D R3B00T

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

roy And moss edit.... If u even care ..........

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.

Jen : Moss, Moss, there's a spider in my office. Could you deal with it? I just hate spiders.

Moss : Hahaha! Oh, ah. Yeah. I'm not overly fond of them myself there, Jen. Um, how... how... How big is...? Whoa! Hey, now. I tell you what, I'd actually recommend my good friend Roy there as the go-to guy on anything with more than seven eyes. Um... He's on a very brief personal call right now...

Jen : Come on, Moss. Don't be silly.

Moss : You're right, I'm being silly. WRAP IT UP, ROY! No, it's just a spider. It's fine. It's just a spider. Oh, look, it seems to have left of its own volition.

Jen : Oh, be a man, Moss.

Moss : You're right. I'll be a man. I'm a man... Please don't shut the door.

Jen: I won't.

Moss: Goodbye, Jen.
