Ask Julia Benson Your Questions

Once again, executive producer Joseph Mallozzi is opening his weblog up to fan questions directed to someone attached to the production of Stargate Universe. This time, you’re invited to ask Julia Benson (Lt. Vanessa James) your questions:

One of the many great things about having a blog on wordpress is the Blog Stats section that allows you to track everything from daily views and incoming links to search engine terms and referrers. And, I just discovered this weekend, if you click on the Top Posts & Pages header, you’ll be directed to a list of every one of your posts ranked according to the traffic it has received to date.

Cross-reference that with the top three Search Engine Terms used to reach my blog –

What does this tell us? Well, it tells us that there are a lot of fans of strong, military women out there. What else would it tell us?

It also tells us that it’s high time I invited actress Julia Benson to guest here and answer some fan question in her very own Q&A.

So if you’ve got questions for the Julia, start posting!

To submit your questions, do the following:

1. Go to this entry in Mallozzi’s weblog: My most popular entry is… Really? Yet another guest blogger announcement!
2. Scroll all the way down until you get to the comments section.
3. Fill in the form. Make sure to proofread your entry because you won’t have a chance to edit it after you submit it.
