Wheaton to annoy Trek fans once again

From syfyportal, "Former "Star Trek: The Next Generation" actor Wil Wheaton revealed in his latest blog that he is writing a story for Tokyopop's second volume of "Star Trek: The Manga" comic book, featuring characters from the original series.

"Initially, I was terrified at the prospect of creating and writing this story, but this voice in my head kept saying, 'Dude, this would be so cool! Come on, man, let's do this!’" Wheaton wrote. "Ultimately, I decided that if I'm going to truly call myself a writer, and if I'm truly going to write that novel someday, I've got to tackle fiction sooner or later ... and what better way to test myself than with characters and a universe that I already know?"

Wheaton said he didn't realize how much pressure there would be to write such a story until he sat down and wrote "Captain's log ..." for the first time, saying that it was then that he realized that his safety net was made from barbed wire.

"And there are alligators crawling around on it, and monkeys with BB blowguns are constantly shooting at me while I walk across the high wire from 'I have an idea' to "OK, it's done!'" Wheaton said.

TokyoPop has not released an official announcement about Wheaton's involvement as of yet, but Wheaton said the manga could be in stores as early as September.

"I can't reveal anything about my story, though I wish I could tell you the title, which I love, and the artist, who I also love, and one of the other authors in the collection who may or may not out him or her or itself in the comments on this post ..." Wheaton said.
