What was:
Your first fandom?
The first fandom you interacted with and/or made fan content?
The fandom you were in the longest?
The worst fandom you were in (like having to witness ridiculous drama or something happening that made you wash your hands of that fandom)?

The fandom with your OTP or the one you multi-ship in?
and what is the most recent fandom/s you're into now?

Yu-Gi-Oh! was the first one I was into and drew fan art for an online forum that was for the LittleKuriboh Abridged series.

Naruto was definitely the one I was into longest right next to Doctor Who.

Hetalia is still the one I haven't recovered from.

xxxHolic with Doumeki x Watanuki.

and recently I've gotten into Yuri on Ice (I know I'm very late to the fandom lol)

idk how to decide what was my first fandom, because...lmao I was super hardcore into a lot of media properties well before the invention of the internet and the ability to share fanworks or talk to other fans. I mean like, literally, original MLP and She-ra, Jem & the Holograms, 1980's era horsegirl books, etc. I was drawing fanart of my own ponies in 1984, is that early enough?

interaction was Star Wars, 1999. But I had already been making fan content for 14 years at that point, if you count my MLP drawings, my Animalympics fanart, my Young Riders fanfic in 1990, etc.
Longest so far has been One Piece, thank god for ongoing series content. 10 years and counting, that's already longer than SW or anything else.
Worst is Star Wars hands down no question.

I don't have an OTP but it seems like in Koei Warriors games fandom I only ship single pairings (or double in the case of canon married with noncanon gay side ships look it was ancient China they totally fucked around) but One Piece I multiship.
I haven't gotten into any fandom more recently than One Piece and Koei Warriors games. We're talking I've stuck with these for 8-10 years and nothing more recent than that has captured my attention.

Dragonball Z was my first fandom. I also made shitty fanfic for it (the only time I ever wrote fanfic).

The longest might be Supernatural? I still go back to it every now and again.

Most recent fandom is probably The Witcher.

I multiship in almost every fandom I am in.

-First fandom: Avatar the Last Airbender
-First fandom you interacted with: Also Avatar
-Fandom you were in the longest: Honestly my fandom is fandom! I've been following all sorts of fandoms for years, even for media I haven't watched or read. Hard to say which one I've followed the longest.
-Worst fandom you were in: Although I haven't really been active in fandom since I was a kid, I've followed a lot of fandoms. Some of the worst drama I've seen has come from Supernatural and Steven Universe. Warrior Cats has had some bizarre drama from time to time. And Doctor Who and Star Wars tend to have the most consistent drama. No one seems happy in those two fandoms.

-Fandom with my OTP: Run With The Wind.
-What is the most recent fandom you are into now: Although I am not in the fandom, I've currently been following the Inuyasha fandom because it's become pretty active again.

Star Trek for everything but the last two questions

First: ER
First fandom interaction: ST Voyager
First fandom content: Stargate SG-1
Longest fandom: Supernatural
Worst fandom: MCU
Fandom with my OTP: about five long term OTPs I go back to regularly including Sterek in Teen Wolf, John/Rodney in SGA, one tiny fandom otp and some vintage OTPs.
Most recent : The Untamed

Your first fandom? Duran Duran (discovered them when I was about 12 years old, did write fic but this was preinternet and I had no idea about fandom/fanfic. Also my mother discovered it and threw it away because it was slash.)
The first fandom you interacted with and/or made fan content? The Sentinel; first mailing list and first fanfic.
The fandom you were in the longest? Duran Duran...37 years and counting--I'm still a fan. Have read slashfic but not written it for them.
The worst fandom you were in (like having to witness ridiculous drama or something happening that made you wash your hands of that fandom)? Classic Top Gear fandom, aka Clarkson, Hammond and May era--got tired of being one of the few people who actually could see what a major shithead Jeremy Clarkson is (May/Hammond are slightly better but also have their asshole moments, but not nearly the same level as Clarkson, and well, he's ugly as fuck--physically, too.) If you dared criticize the Great Clarkson, you'd be dogpiled. I got tired of it, so I bowed out after they stopped making TG. I've only seen bits of Grand Tour because I swore I'd never watch it. Still like May and Hammond.
The fandom with your OTP or the one you multi-ship in? I'm pretty much only OTP. I started out with a bit of multishipping in CM, but eventually was totally Hotch/Reid. NCIS: Tony/Jethro (don't watch it now), The Sentinel: Blair/Jim (again did write a few things with Simon but yeah). Totally into James/Richard in top gear/grand tour fandom. Keep Clarkson away from everyone, please. Garik/Bashir in DS9. Red/Dembe, Blacklist.
and what is the most recent fandom/s you're into now? I'm not really into fandoms, I'm leery of getting involved these days. I'll talk about shows that interest me on my tumblr, but in general, I don't engage much with others. I watch shows and read fanfic. I've been reading Teen Wolf fanfic for months now and have seen like, two episodes of the show; I'm into Sterek so I figure there's probably not much point in watching it, anyways. Other shows I enjoy: Blacklist, Mindhunter, The Umbrella Academy, The Witcher, Warrior Nun, Wu Assassins, Hanna....Mostly watch these, read fic in a couple of them.

First fandom: either Harry Potter or Star Wars. I got into Star Wars earlier, but I honestly can't remember which I got into actual fandom first.

First fandom I interacted with: Again, either Harry Potter or Star Wars in terms of interaction. Harry Potter was the first I made content for

Fandom I was in the longest: Harry Potter

Worst fandom I was in: in terms of actually participating in, Harry Potter. But the current Star Wars fandom is worse, even though I'm not in those parts.

Fandom with my current OTP: Tolkien

Fandom I multi-ship in: Tolkien (both has my two two OTPs and I also multi-ship, it is my current #1 fandom), Doctor Who, MCU would be the things I most actively multi-ship

most recent fandom: That's hard, haven't gotten into anything new in a while. Picard would be the closest, but I was already into Star Trek.

First: Pokemon
Interacted: Naruto (or Pokemon if the TC game counts)
Longest: Y-Gi-Oh (got back into it recently with Duel Links, but have been watching the Abridged since it started.)
Worst: Newsies, like not in a bad way the fandom was just very...er, young, and it came off as very cringy to me.

My ultimate OTP is from KHR, but a very close second is Yu-Gi-Oh's Thiefshipping. (which technically should be my actual favourite since I've never stopped loving it, but oh well.)

My most recent fandom is the DCU, (comics) which I've been reading with my sister. Started with in the 40's and were around the late 70's now. I don't interact with the fandom too much, but then again I haven't been actively involved in fandom for a long time now.

First- Harry Potter
First interacted with- also Harry Potter? I think?? possibly Naruto??
Longest- I'm not sure what constitutes "being" in a fandom... I usually lurk, and drop in and out so it's hard to tell. Maybe Team Fortress 2 or Homestuck??
Worst- Homestuck fandom was... interesting. the Steven universe fandom was getting so dire that I had to take a break for a while so that they wouldn't ruin my enjoyment of the show lmao. The Good Omens fandom last year kinda made my blood pressure skyrocket for a bit too, so that was also a wild time. in more of a throwback sense, the House md fandom always seemed to be losing its shit over something, not that I really got that involved in it
Multiship/OTP- Metal Gear Solid is my main multiship fandom. I can never just pick one otp for any media tbh!
Most recent- Hannibal, I suppose... I'm taking a very back burner lurker approach to fandom rn so that's about it. Enjoying a bit of an MCR renaissance enjoyment too though

First Fandom: My first online fandom was Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

The first fandom you interacted with and/or made fan content?: Buffy, but I didn’t interact much.

The fandom you were in the longest?: Sherlock BBC (Seven years. I hated the source material for five of those years, but the fic was bomb, and there was so much of it, so I have no regrets.)

The worst fandom you were in: For bad fan behavior, Sherlock. Though to be honest the wank never really phased me that much.

The fandom with your OTP or the one you multi-ship in?: My current OTP is Starker, and I consider myself to be in the Starker fandom, since I don’t multiship and thus am not really interested in the MCU fandom outside of Starker. My longest OTP was Johnlock. My heart-of-hearts, never-gonna-forget-them OTP was Mulder/Scully.

What is the most recent fandom/s you're into now?: Starker. And dabbling in Drarry a little bit.

First actually interacting with others, reading fic and writing: Pirates of the Caribbean (it was also the one I was writing for before I knew what I was doing was fanfiction).

My first run ins with fic/there's a fandom world?! We're Inuyasha and Yu Yu Hakasho

I guess PotC, as I rotate fandoms and really only consume or write fic, and that was the one I really carried through highschool. Although I guess Supernatural is runner up. Everything else ebbs and flows.

Since I'm not involved in fandom at large, I mostly avoided the drama, and in most cases wasn't aware. I just looked for the kind of fic I wanted and that was it. Although one time in DW fandom, I requested a BNF? (she was kind of one of my fav authors) to beta my story (she was listed a beta on FF net) for what I guess was her NOTP, and her response was just...imo very over the top, a vehement "no" to say the least. Never meet your heroes, right? She really could have just said, no, that's not a pairing I could beta for, sorry, good luck. Tbf, I might have been overzealous in my request, but eh. This was years ago now. At least 4 years ago I think.

OTP: Doctor Who & Sleepy Hollow (canon characters, because my OTP in all my other fandoms is self insert or OFC/MC lol)
Multiship: Harry Potter. Hermione Granger transcends pairings, and thus achieves all the ones I want lol. Sometimes within the same story (but usually not).

Currently rotating fandoms and I'm back into Overwatch. I'll start watching Lucifer soon and probably get into that.
