From what I understand, the Trek creative team isn't supposed to examine any fan-generated stuff unless it's been submitted through a literary agent. Otherwise if they used something that's inspired by something they saw on the web, they might get sued by the guy who created it (who, as we have all seen, isn't always the guy who says he created it).
I know they monitor some newsgroups, but that's about it as far as I know. It'd be nice if I got a letter from Paramount asking to use some concept I developed, but if I did, I would view the letter with more than a little suspicion. It is more probable that such a letter would have originated with a practical joker than paramount.
