huh, that's never been my perception, but I don't have any objective criterion.

(I looked at the numbers of fics on Ao3, but those numbers look lopsided (e.g., far less TNG fics than I had expected).

Honestly that's going to be around whether there are pairings the fandom can obsess over. Enterprise had some passionate slash shippers in the fandom, as did Voyager. TNG didn't really have a ton of active shippers.

Yeah, Voyager being 2nd most popular after TOS definitely seems incorrect to me

Well, third, because of AoS, but yeah.

And Enterprise > DS9? Pul-LEASE.

It might have to do with which of these have people currently writing a lot of fics for them, which is not the same as how popular they were when airing or how popular they've ever been. AO3 wasn't around when TNG fandom was at its height, of course, and its been a long time since Nemesis, so until Picard came along there wasn't much to re-ignite TNG fannishness beyond basic background levels the way the reboot movies apparently re-ignited TOS fannishness.

That does make sense /wrt TNG, but I was surprised at the numbers for TOS —
although a lot of that might be people writing for AOS and double-tagging.
