Icebreaker Week: Day 3
We're at the halfway point of icebreaker week!
If you're finding that you're not able to answer the whole set of questions within a day but think they'd be valuable to go through, please feel free to spread the five days of icebreaker questions out across more than 5 days to fit your schedule.
This next set of questions is geared towards helping partners get more familiar with each other's work and creative process.

This next set of questions is geared towards helping partners get more familiar with each other's work and creative process.
- Why do you create fanworks? What does it mean to you?
- Share a piece of a fanwork you're particularly proud of (a page or so of a written work, a few minutes of an audio work) and explain why you're proud of it.
- Read/listen to your partner's shared fanwork, and give feedback about what works for you about it.

Icebreaker Week: Day 2
Day 2's icebreaker questions are related to group work!
- What strengths will you bring to the group?
- What things do you struggle with when it comes to group work? (And, if you want, how can your partner help you with these things?)
- What are you hoping for from this collaboration experience? What would your dream version of pod_together collaboration look like?
- What's one thing your partner(s) could say or do that would feel really good to you? (For example, compliment your fanwork, offer to help with organization/beta/cheerleading, reach out to you to say hi every few days, etc.)

Icebreaker Week: Day 1
Hello lovely participants,
The start of a partnership is always so exciting as you and your partner(s) figure out how you'd like to work together! Icebreaker week is designed to support that process, with a combination of fun and helpful getting-to-know-you questions. They've started some incredibly useful and productive conversations in the past, and we hope they'll do the same for you now!
These exercises are optional, but we hope they'll help both those groups that were assigned and the ones that formed on their own. We encourage group members to stay in contact with each other this week, answering as many questions as they are comfortable with.
Today's questions are geared towards helping group members learn a bit more about each other, personally and fannishly.

Today's questions are geared towards helping group members learn a bit more about each other, personally and fannishly.
- Name as many books, movies, TV shows, animes, comics, celebrities, etc. that you can think of that you have felt or feel fannish about.
- List three to five things you enjoy in stories (e.g. a kind of trope, story line, etc.). List three to five things that you do not enjoy in stories.
- What communication methods and interaction level did you put in your sign-up, and why did you choose them? (If you did group sign-ups, you may want to look at those questions on our matchmaker sign-up form and then answer them for your partner). It could also help to describe the communication level you don't want——what sort of communication patterns would feel uncomfortably high/uncomfortably low for you, and why?
- What are three facts about yourself (fannish or otherwise) that you haven’t already mentioned?
