[quote="Hartster"]Unless you have an agent, they won't accept any ideas. If they read your letter and see it's about an idea for an episode, it will get discarded and not replied to. Because if a future episode has an element that you wrote about it and it can be proven they read about it from you, then they're on the hook for some money. Same goes for script and book proposals - unless it's from an agent, they will wind up in the trash.[/quote]
