Introduction | Preparations | Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3

Note: This list was taken word-for-word from the list Bryan Fuller supplied me. If you're pitching to Voyager, you should steer clear of these (unless you have a revolutionary take on the matter).

Most commonly pitched Star Trek: Voyager stories

• Viruses (computer or biological)
• Aliens taking over the ship
• Other Starfleet ships or crews
• Alpha Quadrant anything
• Pregnancy
• Children
• Clones or Clowns
• Stories not focusing on the nine regulars
• Stories rushing Seven of Nine into development prematurely
• Stories based on/inspired by previous episodes (i.e., Seven's parents -- we probably already thought of it)
• Dreams, nightmares, memories (not a hard and fast rule)
• Characters dying or being dead (they've all already died one way or another)
• Telepathy (use good judgment)
• Borg (origins or otherwise)
• Derelict ships (Alpha Quadrant or otherwise)
• Ship graveyards
• Getting "home"
• Time travel
• Aliens experimenting on the crew
• Holo-characters or holodecks gone awry
• Vampires
• Mistaken identity stories
• Q's son
• Anything from TOS, TNG, or DS9
• Kes
• Parallel dimensions or alternate realities
• Alien worlds in turmoil or facing some sort of disaster
• Energy beings anything
• Aliens possessing the crew
• Crew members "switching" identities with each other
• Irwen Allen "Disaster" type stories
• Crewmen shrinking or getting bigger
• Investigation stories
