OTP is an acronym for "One True Pairing" and is a term that can refer to any pairing, either fan or canon.
When a person says that a specific pairing is "their OTP", they mean that that particular pairing is their favorite pairing. An OTP can be series-specific or refer to a person's favorite pairing of all time. People can have multiple OTPs, as the term can indicate merely that a pairing is a favorite as compared to other pairings. More rare than an OTP is an OT3 (I've only seen it written once or twice), and this term refers to a favorite love-triangle (I believe. This term is one I'm shaky on, so if anyone has any other info you can leave it in the comments. ^^).
Warning: Don't mix up "OTP", which is a term, with the emoticon OTL, which represents a person kneeling in defeat!
Hope that explains everything! :D
