ComicMix posted the first part of an extesive interview with Star Trek The Next Generation actor Wil Wheaton. Here are few excerpts.
CMix: You wrote some Star Trek Manga. Are you going to write more?
WW: No. I'm done. It was really fun. Star Trek manga was really, really fun. It was scary. It was hard. But it was ultimately really fun. The whole experience was like writing a script in the late '60s for the original series.
And I felt like a real writer when I was doing that. I was making characters do things and I had to follow an internal logic. I had to follow the rules of the universe and I had to do things like that. When I wrote the second one, I was less self-conscious. I felt like I had done one already, received good reviews and audience feedback.
But what a difference between something being enjoyed by the audience and your friends and actually getting good reviews. I got real lucky with that one and I received good notices all around. So with the second one, which comes out next month, I think, I just wanted to challenge myself.
I pitched this idea to my editor and he said, "Great, do that." And then I had to live up to the challenge I made for myself. It was the first time I had the experience that I understand real writers have, where I had Captain Kirk and this other character talking to each other and I was just listening to them and transcribing them.
It was really cool. They asked me if I would write a Next Generation Manga, and would I write a Wesley Crusher story, and I didn't want to do it because it felt to me like there was no way in that equation that I could return a positive result.
Ultimately, I'm just not interested in Wesley Crusher anymore. It's been a long time and he's sort of frozen in amber in a certain state. I don't have anything to add to that. I don't have anything new to bring to it at all.
CMix: No thoughts about killing him off?
WW: No. I'm way more interested in working on my own original stuff. And there's a finite number of time/energy/creative units that I can gather on my "collect resources" turn. I would rather put those into building my own story than into repairing the Wesley Crusher building.
