First TV show I had self-insertion fantasies about:
I did it more in books in my youth; my mother had strict control over what I watched, and there was only one TV in the house until I was about, IDK, 11?, but for tv probably The Professionals.

First fandom in which I interacted (online and in person) with other fans:
X-Files, The Persuaders onegroup list 1996*cough cough*

Pairing in the first slash fanfiction I read:
Methos/Kronos

First RPS/RPF I read:
I'm not 100% sure, but it would have been in LoTRIPS. Orlando Bloom and probably Eric Bana, maybe Sean Bean.

First fanfiction I read that made me think, 'YES, this is exactly the kind of fanfiction I'd like to write...':
Maygra in Highlander

Pairing in the first fanfiction I wrote:
Duncan/Methos. Still a special place in my heart. <3

First OTP:
Funnily enough, given the rabid OTP-er I would become, in my first two fandoms (which hit me more-or-less simultaneously with the discovery of the interweb) I had two ships I enjoyed: Methos/Kronos and Duncan/Methos, and Mulder/Krycek and Mulder/Skinner. (This was before fandom became all about the portmanteau. There was no Mycek or Minner. Or Monos! ;)

My first OTP, I guess, where them in any other pairing made me froth a little at the mouth, would actually probably be Clex. I genuinely had to stop watching Smallville because the canon Lex/Lana made me feel slightly nauseous.

From then on I became fanatical OTP-er all the way in whatever fandom I came across. Destiel still makes me die a little inside ;)
