This is tricksy, mostly because I'm not entirely sure what 'fandom' means in this context.
If it refers to the general group of fans for any given show/film, then I'd have to say no, because the internet IS fandom. It's not like I'm regularly meeting with groups of people IRL to discuss a show we all like, but then I discovered internet fandom and it just RUINED EVERYTHING.
That said, I don't really participate in fandom-at-large anymore. I've found that my enjoyment of any given thing only increases when I'm not engaging with a bunch of opinionated strangers over it, so in that sense, it's fair to say that I've stopped liking every fandom thanks to the internet.
If the question is REALLY asking something like, 'has your engagement with a fandom ever ruined the corresponding show or movie for you,' then yes. "Lost" did a pretty good job of ruining itself, in my opinion, but I won't pretend that stalking the bitterness threads over at TWOP didn't hasten matters. If I hadn't stalked TWOP, I might have hung on despite my unhappiness with the way things were going, but those threads convinced me to just let it go and find something less aggravating to watch.
15. Choose a song at random. Which OTP does it remind you of?
This isn't exactly 'at random,' but I figure it's fair because I actually do have one song on my iPod that unfailingly reminds me of an OTP. The song is "King and Lionheart" by Of Monsters and Men. The OTP is Lincoln (either one, really) and Fauxlivia from "Fringe."
