ComicMix posted the first part of an extesive interview with Star Trek The Next Generation actor Wil Wheaton. Here are few excerpts.
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.
The full interview, in which Wheaton talks more about Star Trek, his career, his writing and the press, can be found here.
