So they'd ask you to come in (or schedule a phone pitch) and toss out a bunch of ideas to them. They very rarely bought the actual spec script someone submitted the scripts were more just auditions for potential new writers, which is what they were really shopping for. I later submitted a DS9 spec script and wrote a Voyager one, but my DS9 script got me an invitation to pitch to DS9, which led to an opportunity to pitch to VGR, so I never needed to submit the VGR script. (It was "Quality of Life," and it even had a beat in common, a joke from Geordi making Data suspect that a cybernetic entity might actually be sentient.) I submitted a TNG spec script in 1992, and an episode with a similar premise aired a week and a half later, so I knew then that they wouldn't buy my script.
