I remember when Voyagee was filming you could submit a script to them. Did anyone ever do that? And if so, what was your episode about?
Did anyone submit a script?

I did! 
Between season 6 and 7, I sent a script for an episode which would bring back Kes to Voyager and undo the damage made to the character in a certain crap episode in season 6. I had help from a professional script writer who I happened to know at that time.
What I know, some people at Paramount did like the script and the story but obviously not the right people.
The name of the story for the script is "Coming Home" and the story is available at the Kes Website (see link in the signature below).
The best Voyager episode never made!

I would imagine after season 6 they already had much of season 7 planned. They probably already had all the scripts they needed at that point
I feel the same way. Also I'm not creative enough to write a whole episode.
I'm a creative person and I have no problems with coming up with stories. My only problem is lack of time.
In this case I was very unhappy with the way things had turned in my once favorite series and since no one responsible for the bad things weren't interested in correcting the errors, I decided to correct them myself.
And due to the course of events in the Voyager relaunch books, I guess that if I want to read godd, new Voyager stories, then I have to write them myself.

I wrote a fairly well developed but never completed DS9 script where members of Morn’s species arrived at the station, having tracked him down across the cosmos, seeking to restore him as the rightful ruler of his prosperous and virtuous homeworld.
I doubt I would have submitted it though.

A Morn episode would have been fun!
You should publish it on the net. It would be fun to read. I find Morn a mysterious but fascinating character. However, it would be hard to imagine Quark's bar without him.
In fact, the script I wrote which I mentioned in a post above was originally a DS9 story about a Maquis ship and crew which was stranded on a planet devided by two nations at war. But it turned into the "Coming Home"-story of which I made a script.
The name of the Maquis ship was Lynx, therefore my nickname on this forum.
Lynx was actually a short-lived local rock band in which yours truly was a member.

Cool. Lynx was a local distribution company here and my choice of deodorant
I found Morn fascinating. Looked like no one else, never spoke, and spent his life at the bar. I knew there had to be more to it than that.
No idea where the script is. It was written in cheap blue ink on ruled A4 paper and was last seen with my college notes on the way to the recycling Center many moons ago. Even if I could publish it, I’ve since learned much about crafting a story, and I doubt I could bear the cringing.
Paramount accepting scripts from fans though. What a time to be alive!

I didn't know that they had named a deodorant after me! What an honor!
As for my script, I have it on an old computer which I only use as emergency, but it's still there. I also have it in a returned envelope from Paramount.

Better to have submitted and been rejected, than to have never submitted at all.
I did query a paperback story where a splinter group was blocking a planet’s entry to the federation by means of terror, and Bones fell in love with a young Klingon fugitive called L’vnda. Unfortunately, they
weren’t taking unsolicited manuscripts at that time, and it was shit.
I'd have liked to have seen what Morn would have to say about that...
While I don’t recall writing any lines for him ( though I often thought it would also be amusing if Morn was a she ) I imagined him speaking with a voice somewhat like Aslan in the 1979 animated The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe.

Very theatrical, booming, magnificent, and accompanied by rousing incidental music.
If non-solicited scripts are ever accepted for STAR TREK again, I'd rather submit story outlines, to be honest. A script is very involved, just in the way it's formatted and that's too much time to devote to it, when there's no good end in sight for it. But I think it's cool that -- during Voyager's run, at least -- a fan could get involved in the show in such an Ernest & Meaningful manner ...
