John Scalzi has the role of Creative Consultant in the production of Stargate Universe. How did an award-winning sci-fi author get the gig? Scalzi reveals the answer to this and more in a Q&A he conducted with fans who posted questions in his blog.
As far as how much say he has in the final product, Scalzi clarified, “I don’t have the final word on a script — that would make me a producer — but I will say it’s cool when a suggestion I’ve offered gets incorporated or is a launching point for something else new in the script. I derive a lot of satisfaction from the process, basically.”
