Tomorrow, I will make an epic announcement, following up on this audioblog post I made all the way back in July. In the post, I think I said something like, “I’ll update this in a week or so,” or something like that . . . well, that week or so ends tomorrow.
Happy December, everyone.
(heh. When I typed that, I hit the “3” so it looked like “Happy Decemb3r” — I am so 31337, i wil pwN j00, 5uXX0r!)

I suppose we’re being rather unfair here. I mean, Wil never did say he would stay up til midnight to post his announcement the first second he legally can. We should be grateful for as much as he does let us into his life and let him have his sleep now.
Besides, if he has decided to wait until tomorrow morning, he won’t be online reading our squawking anyhow. If he was online, he’d post his announcement, whether or not we’d whined and complained all night. It’s just logic, which I’ll admit doesn’t come easily while excited about something so “epic.”
Good luck with everything, Wil.
I think it’s a soon to be published short story in Asimov’s or some other highly respected short story magazine… or a good part in a movie that Wil really wanted.
Or something familial like a really cool new house for an excellent price …
We will know tomorrow.
Logic-Shmogic! I wanna whine and complain! 🙂
I’m just teasing you, Rena. You’re absolutely right. Morning can’t come soon enough for me, but it’s Wil’s news to tell, so I’ll let him tell it when he’s ready :).
Well kiddies, looks like Santa’s reindeer have thrown a shoe.
Could it be he’s landed a cameo on Lord of the Rings / Return of the King ? It’s an “epic” announcement, the audio blog suggested he’s under some obligation not to talk until a specific date, then he sets that day to December 1 (the RotK premiere date) only to fix it to December 2 a few hours later… Somehow this seems to fit.
Oh how speculation is fun… and I’m sure when he gets up and had a few coffees, Wil will positively surprise us all, that’s what he’s after all best at 😛
what is it!
ive just read the blog and now im DESPERATE to know!
help!
wil, the suspense is killin all of us.
just tell us!
please?
please!
my guess is that they are doing a new star trek series with wil as the chief engineer and riker as the captain.
or, just a geek is finished!!! no, wait, hed have told us that.
ok, speculation just sucks.
someone wake him up!
why cant you be on english time?
it already 9:45 here and i wanna know!!!!
i suppose everyones asleep now
oh well, have to check back later!
could it be that hes doing a tour with his group?
please let it be that!!!
and come to England!
the place will be packed and ill get all my friends to come too!!!
Hmmm. Conjecture time again…
First, the pregnant wife thing is unlikely as he was excited about this back in July. She’d be in a few months if that were the case.
I like the reference to death rays and enslavement of man kind. Sounds like Trek 7 to me.
My wild guesses:
1) He has been cast as Bilbo Baggins in Peter Jacksons’ The Hobbit, the prequel to the cash cow herd that is TLOTR. Likelihood: 10 percent. Too tall, not enough toe hair.
2) Killed Russell Watson in a cross walk. Liklihood: 2 percent. Sure, “Faith of the Heart” deserves a swift death with a blunt, fast moving object, but if Wil’s gonna be picking up the soap in prison for manslaughter, I’d hope he’d save it for the opportunity to send Rick Berman to the final frontier. And I don’t mean the really bad ST V.
3) Cast as Clark Kent in the long rumored Superman movie. Likelihood: 5%. Clark had Kryptonite. I think Wil had Guinness and spandex. Not a good mix. 😛 Jimmy Olsen maybe. (Turned down Batman. Two words: Rubber Nipples.)
4) Cast as “Brains” in Jonathan Frakes’ remake of Thunderbirds. Likelihood: 5%. They’d have to dump Anthony Edwards, which would be a good idea. I got over Edwards when the killed him in Top Gun and then again when they killed him on ER. Enough, Anthony.
5) Picked up by a publishing company rather than being self-published. No pick pack and ship! Likelihood 20%. Haven’t read his book (hoping Santa brings one), but if the chick who played Janice Rand could get a book deal, Wil should be able to. Sure he probably doesn’t look good in a micro-mini (any photos out there?!) but he wasn’t visiting the Valley of the Dolls during the filming of his show, although the writers were. The book will have everything a good Star Trek book needs: an anecdote about what a big prick Shatner really is. Just once I’d like to read about Sulu unplugged and ballistic that Checkov was getting too many tertiary lines of dialogue.
6) Got a mid-season replacement drama/sitcom. Cop Rock meets Coupling meets Seinfeld, for a show about a sketch comedy writer/actor who hangs out with his 20/30/40 something friends while they insult each other, screw each other while making wry observations set to music. Steven Bochco and Dick Wolf have been drinking again, and NBC is in a panic to replace Friends. The show will costar Christina Applegate and Ted McGinley. It will last to its third episode in which Wil and Ted jump a shark tank at SeaWorld on Fonzi’s bike. Wait… that was just a nightmare I had. Either that or one of the unaired episodes of one of Ted’s many failures.
7) New gig: Stunt Voice for the Governator. Finally, we’ll know what state he’s in and we may learn if Ahnold prefers Denebian, RedHat, Mandrake, or the simplicity of Lindows.
I am waiting up. It is 4:53AM.
Better be good Wheaton.
Well…it is well past the midnight hand…I have kept myself entertained by reading the comments as they just keep on commng. It’s so awesome to see so many people just as excited about your news as I bet you are. Now I’m just goning to have to go to sleep so morning will get here faster!!
*grin* no pressure, wil……..
“Can Saxon’s fight?”
“ALL DAY AND THROUGH THE NIGHT !”
True Dat, AmyO. 😀
So…. ARE WE THERE YET? ARE WE THERE YET? ARE WE THERE YET?!!!!
😛
It’s Yesterdays Tomorrow!!!
I hope you get full on Custody of the boys with your snokums. That’d be hella tight.
*HappyNekkidOtterButtDance*
are we there yet???
seriously, laws have been passed faster.
But also, cheers! this is more exciting than Christmas, and beats actually doing work.
After waiting since 11.00pm and, oh god am I still here, I want an invite to whatever this turns out to be!.
wtg on your success of your book. I’m glad I got my copy when I did. Glad to do my part to help make it a success. Many people thought I was crazy for buying what I could read for free on your site. I told them that it was a way for me to support you. My wife thought I was the craziest. Then I told her your copy of Dancing Barefoot went for more than $400 on ebay.
Well, it’s 8:30am EST and I’ll bet your site will get more hits today from people just checking in all day to see when your going to post.
Congrats.
If it’s so epic, surely Mr Wheaton will have trouble sleeping, and wake up way before dawn to TELL US ALREADY!
…epic?
what can be life-changing at 11:30 AM on a desert highway?
apart from meeting Jim Morrison.
AND Elvis.
It’s true….
im really excited!
and i had a good thing happen to me today too as opposed to all the bad things that have happened- I got officially labelled a scholar! w00t!
so now i can expect good things from our favourite Wil as well…. its shaping up to be a good day 🙂
oh and its 13.42 where i am…. (uk)
what time is it where you are wil?
come and visit soon!
sara
hes STILL not up!!
ok, ive been paitient for three and a half ours. it is now 1:40 and im still waiting.
im gonna have to wait till tomorrow to find out arent i?
oh well.
happy waiting everybody.
could it be that TPTB have finally bowed down to his superiorority and asked him to do the next series of star trek?
lets hope.
wil! tell us already.
wake up!
WAKE UP!!!
WAKE UP NOW!!!!
YOU WILL WAKE UP!
or i shall turn a phaser on you!
Okay, okay.
I think the “Cool contract” theory and “non-disclosure” rumors way up around comment 12 have sure spun out of control.
“Wil’s making a huge announcement at 12:01 AM PST about his new Pixar job that let him voice-over and gives him complete creative control over the project, which is a cool Star Trek story about crew members transformed into Micronauts featuring the voices of Wil, Jonathan Frakes, John DeLancie, Ashley Judd, and William Shatner. Working title: ‘Honey, I shrunk the Enterprise.’ Wil is getting paid enough to buy the Ballantine Books publishing company that he will direct to publish exclusively memoirs of child actors. And he has enough money left after that to buy a palatial apartment in Singapore where he will move with Anne and the kids, and hire Keanu Reeves and Dogstar to play free concerts in the parks there.”
I KNEW IT!
— Draken.
*waits calmly and patiently*
I’m glad I wasn’t listening to the audioblog back then – if I’d heard that, then had to wait 5 months for details, it would’ve driven me crazy!! Now I know why people keep bringing it up!
* joins crowd trying to wait patiently *
Did anyone else hear that………..………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. I think it’s wil’s alarm clock………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..hang on, I can see a light coming on upstairs…………………..……………..it wont be long now………………………………………………………………the backdoor is opening………….and……………………………………it’s Ferris going outside to pee.
Can anyone recommend a good book to read while we wait?.
I hear ‘dancing barefoot’ is quite good
F5 is my new best friend.
Who’s that by?
Damn You Wheaton!!!!
I shake my fist at thee!!
Is Mr. Wheaton the only person on this planet that isn’t on the internet?.
erg. i don’t care if its only 6 in CA. i’d say that’s a great time to wake up when you have an epic announcement. think of the east coasters wil! this is agonizinzing! we’ve already been up for a few hours!
😀
i listened to the audio blog again last night. he’s so welled up with emotion. the only thing that could possibly do that to me would be to find out i’m preggers again. i’m thinking its something to with his family. okay, not that anne is preggers, but soemething just as major, like he’s adopting. or that his inherited something very special. i don’t know. i think its family related though.
“my entire world changed” sounds bigger and more important than most of the suggestions so far.
Your life suddenly changing completely while you are travelling – sounds a lot like Saul on the road to Damascus. Maybe Wil’s starting a cult.
The Cult of Wil.
Count me in!
btw: some who lives near him should go and give him noogies and indian burns until he spits it out. Ah, nevermind. I’ll just go get a life.
ok, everyone… shhh… let him sleep… it’s 10am in Massachusetts, which means it’s 7am over in Cali… so he’s probably still asleep… Wil… Wil… wake up, Wil…
damn…
siiighhhhhhhh
I’m the mommy of a family knocked down with the flu, I NEED my bright spot of the day!!!
Please, Wil! You’re my only hope!!
So, is this the announcement? It doesn’t seem like something you would refer to as life-changing, but you also didn’t mention it on your site which also seems odd. Just a coincidence?
Crap. No HTML allowed? I meant “this” to link to http://blogging.la.
Argh! I hit refresh and it took a minute, so I thought the exciting news would be there… sadly, it is not so. I really have nothing of value to say here. I’m just impatient.
Oh, and here: http://www.forbes.com/2003/04/01/cx_ah_0401celeblogs.html
I imagine you’ve already been made aware of this, but according to this poll, you’re the most popular celeb blog by a landslide. 🙂
It’s mid-afternoon here in England (Shit! I’m in Spain not England. It’s embarrassing when I get that wrong. It’s just that a bedroom wall behind a PC monitor looks the same in any country if the curtains are closed. Anyway, I digress…), and I’ve been waiting for the news since last night. I’m happy for the guy that he has a life other than the internet, but he should take pity on those of us that don’t AND SHOW UP ON TIME!!
*ahem*
Come on dude, let us in on the secret. I’m going out in a couple of hours, and I wanna know before then.
Damn you Wheaton….it’s 7:45 on the west coast…get that butt moving, grab a cup of joe and post today’s news will you!!??? Ha ha ha ha…..PLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAASSEEEE!!!!!!
Damn you Shannon….it woulda looked like I’d convinced him to post.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
hehe
🙂
