Hey, Enterprise fandom weighing in here, a bit late. I run the archive for it, the Warp 5 Complex (http://fiction.entstcommunity.org/).

It's a pretty small fandom, and I know more about the slash than the het, but since the show went off the air, we've pretty much been in stasis, with some new stuff being written, but it's not on fire, like SGA or SPN. We got a new infusion of German fans when the show began airing in Germany, and we just got a new infusion of American fans when SciFi picked the show up. Several people still write actively in it, and submissions are sent to the fic archive pretty regularly. ENT fandom doesn't have a big presence on LJ. It's mostly still through newsgroups. I created a couple communities in case people wanted to move over, but they don't see a lot of action.

We ran two virtual seasons, with feedback continuing to gradually diminish, but site hits indicate that we got lots of readers who didn't leave comments. I see this more as a netiquette thing, with people not really knowing much about fandom coming in and reading, and failing to leave comments because they didn't know that they should. A third season, VS7, may or may not occur, depending on the whim of those who run it (ahem!) and their capacity for the pain that goes with it.

From the lists I'm on that are linked to the really big all-ST archive, TOS is still a really big fandom, VOY next, then DS9, and finally ENT, with ENT really, really trailing behind. But as a whole, ST is still out there, but perhaps with less of a LJ presence, which is concealing how big it is.
