I was into a ton of stuff as a kid but there was no way to talk to anyone about what I liked, since nobody I knew was into the stuff I was into (mostly books like the Little House on the Prairie series, Wizard of Oz series, Sherlock Holmes) and these were the olden days before most people had internet and we certainly didn't (ie the early 90s). I was also really into natural sciences and stuff and I wish someone had fostered that interest but oh well that's a tangent

My first real fandoms were stuff like Sailor Moon or Dragon Ball, I was heavily into the Dragon Ball/Z fandom and posted a lot to alt.fan.dragonball and I have a really good friend from back then that I've known for like 17 or 18 years now, wow (and we've met in person and hung out several times, we don't talk about DBZ anymore obviously though LOL)

Then I started getting into classic anime... this started because I got a vhs fansub of the Sailor Moon R movie as a teenager, and it had a bunch of Lupin III previews at the beginning, and the pilot film from the late 60s (so the very first thing Lupin III that I ever saw was actually the pilot film). I was super interested right away and thanks to some creepy ephebophile dude I knew from the internet I was able to get my hands on the Mystery of Mamo movie and some other films, I started watching the tv episodes and became a really huge fan. I even got interviewed for a Japanese website for some sort of fan event! After that I made it a point to watch as many "classics" as possible but it was hard back then. At the same time I was also watching a lot of shoujo like Card Captor Sakura and Utena and stuff. I got super into Escaflowne my senior year of high school and I collected all of the clamshell vhs tapes, I special ordered them at Suncoast when they came out. That got me interested in mecha and from there I started watching Evangelion and eventually UC Gundam and that's sort of where I am now, I'm turning 30 this year

Sorry, that was really long-winded

Oh and I should say that when I was "involved" in fandom it was mostly fanart, some meta discussion type stuff but for the most part just drawing lots of shitty fanart, LOL

It makes me feel nostalgic to see people shipping Lupin with Jigen or Goemon or whatever cause I used to do that when I was 16, but the fandom was pretty much all straight cis males so everyone frowned down upon that heavily at the time, I think I sort of ostracized myself from the fandom which was mostly older than me anyway... heh
