This is so cool. I love seeing fanart for sitcoms, it’s great - especially older ones.
Reblogging for Richmond being dramatic in the background. He is everything I want to be as a goth. Fabulous.

This scene is everything to me…
Other IT crowd fan art
some it crowd doodles i had lying around my gallery :p
(the third jen drawing is the first time i ever drew her so the artstyle is VERY different..)
can you tell who my favourite character is yet
FATHERRRRRRRRRR!!!!!
Yeah I like men in STEM (two total idiots working in a basement cluttered with God knows what junk while their girl boss best friend just sits and watches)
Which of these men would you rather date?
For this scenario, imagine you're a heterosexual woman in your 20s. You can be a bit of a screw up but are generally normal, you just find yourself in weird situations sometimes.
Options:
Daniel, a security guard who likes quizzes and used to like you until you accidentally prevented him from winning a lot of money. He now hates the sight of you and it’s really awkward. He also has some anger issues.
Bill, a known player and generally sexist and disrespectful man who treats women like prizes to collect. Is rude to waitstaff. Doesn't like tapas. Talks about your sex life openly. Once got haunted by a ghost.
Phillip, a cosy scottish accountant with lots of friends in the theatre. Very into PDA. Secretly gay and in denial about it.
Douglas, a man who inherited his dad’s company and is slowly running it into the ground. Is CONSTANTLY horny and has pretty much no respect for women. Has more money than sense and is as dumb as a bag of bricks. Has nice hair.
Peter, a kind of cringy, optimistic and wholesome guy. Can cook well. Loves hugs and telling goofy stories. Is kind of up himself but not harmful at all. Is encouraging of you and your dreams. His full name sounds like a really bad word and it’s really embarrassing when people bring it up.
Gary, a builder who’s tall, bald and not very conventionally attractive. Once thought a woman was in love with him and was nice about it. Good at his job. Fairly normal. But once pissed in your sink as revenge because you falsely accused him of pissing in your sink.
Michael, a driving instructor and generally nice guy. He just REALLY looks like a magician. Like distractingly so. Despite this, he’s really bad at doing magic.
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

Richmond Avenal (S02E04) The IT Crowd
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.
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.
