Talk to Tom

Howdy SuperFolders!!!

We’re CHANGING the way we do TALK TO TOM.

From time to time, Tom will do a LIVE session and answer questions as they come in.
Stay tuned, because the first one is coming up SOON.

Until then:

Here are a few FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS, with answers!

Q: Are you writing more books?
A: YES!!!!!!
I hope to write many, many more books.
Right now I do not have a new Origami Yoda book coming out, but I do have:
qp2
The Qwikpick Papers series Book 2 coming in spring 2015.
Return of the Jedi, Summer 2015
McToad (a picture book), Fall 2015
A series with Cece coming 2016!
And of course, my other books: Fake Mustache, Horton Halfpott, Stonewall Hinkleman and Crankee Doodle.

Plus, Cece’s book, El Deafo, tells the real story behind Caroline, from the OY books.

Q: How do I write to Tom?
A: Origami Yoda
Abrams/Amulet
115 W. 18th ST
NY NY 10011


Q: Can I email Tom? Can I post my email or home address in a comment?
A: No, that’s not allowed because of Internet privacy concerns. You should NEVER post your home address online ANYWHERE. NEVER! And you should be very very careful with your email address as well.

Q: Is the TalkZone coming back?
A: No, never.

Q: Is this Website shutting down now that the series is over?
NO! The website stays! It’s a place for you guys to show off your Star Wars origami — and me, too, sometimes. So keep folding and submitting and having fun!

Tom, is my letter there yet?

TomAngleberger


I haven’t seen it yet….

sfyoda


when will you post ez rocket raccoon instrux?

TomAngleberger


Not sure…. saving it for a special day

OrigamiJediYoda24


Tom, can you show us how to make the EZ boba fett from last year?

TomAngleberger


earch instrux…. that wasn’t mine.

thewonderFOLD101


tom, it’s urgent. it’s been like, several days since you published emperor pickletine, but it’s kind of like a parallel universe story. what if the school board never ended the attack on mcquarrie (okay, I apologize for the lack of capitals. Hard to remember to add them, it is!)? Since Rabbiski retired for the rest of the year, they needed a new principle. That rebellion from the kids inspired a ton of other kids in other schools to rebel against funtime and the calculator demon from the underworld’ hypnosis, and that made Edu-fun mad at all the schools, and the school board mad at McQuarrie for starting it. The absence of a principal gave the school board a chance to send a representative in to be the new principal. This new principal isn’t really evil; he’s actually been tricked into believing the students at the McQuarrie schools are somewhat evil. he takes control of the middle school. to punish the original rebellion, the board sends a representative to take the position of superintendent, which asserts complete dominance. they can’t bring back funtime, as that has been eliminated, but they do all they can to make the kids’ lives miserable. they don’t have the aid of Mara Jade or the ewok troop (Remi and most of her friends) or Pad-me (Murky) to assist them at the high school, but they try to do all they can. As well as all their problems, the rebels have a spy in their midst (i won’t tell ya who, but i’ll give you one hint: he/she was a good friend, but fell prey of the funtime monster). all hope seems lost, but a new hope arises in a new student who convinced his parents to transfer him to McQuarrie after hearing how they supported art, but arrived too late. he’s not your jesus of a protagonist, but he’s a good friend to many. He rebels by making origami creations that he posts throughout the halls, which has given him some detentions for vandalism, but he never gives up. He becomes friends with Dwight, and that friendship pays off when he alerts them of the spy, stating that he knows what’s happened, but has no idea who it could be. He also joins the rebellion after realizing that a trade of happiness for good education isn’t right. arriving in their darkest hour having folded an origami jawa, he reinvigorates the team and inspires them to revive the rebellion into it’s prime again. the battle restarts.

i’m sorry for wasting your time, but i just wanted to get the idea out. I would make it into a fan fiction, but i can’t write them (trust me: i tried it with ponies and skylanders; i cancled it after chapter 7 DX). once again, i’m sorry.

TomAngleberger


Don’t be sorry!! IT’s awesome…. but really this is something that YOU are welcome to write. Ponies and Skylanders were just warm ups….

emperorpickletine10


uh…… if u watch how 2 fold darth paper the subtitles say toms the author of the strange case of mikinami odor. im sure it says odor.

BCube64


So right it is so funny

TomAngleberger


That IS funny!

KateisaCat


WHY DID YOU END THE SERIES WITH A CLIFF-HANGER?!?! It seriously sounded like you were going to make another book. Wait, what is “Return of the Jedi” going to be about? Another origami yoda book, hopefully? 🙂

TomAngleberger


Cliffhanger? No it’s all wrapped up!

Return of the Jedi is a novelization of the movie, made especially for you guys,

GandalftheFolder


Tom i wish you would come to an event near me but i know that there is almost no chance of you coming to England any time soon

TomAngleberger


I had such a great time on my British book tour, that I really want to do it again!

GandalftheFolder


Tom it says that you are writing a book called return of the jedi. What is it about is it like a book version of the film

TomAngleberger


Yes it is. Written especially for you guys,,,,

Geekoid


Tom in emperor pickleten you say Dwight Kellen r working on another how 2 do case file

are you bringing another one out?

TomAngleberger


It’s possible, but it may not work out…

Darth_Lukeious111


Tom, my grandma told me that vaper means fart. Don’t believe me? In a dictionary you must look!

TomAngleberger


I’m not sure why you are telling me this.

But obviously your Grandma is pretty smart.

Darth_Lukeious111


Tom, who’s your favorite comic character? *imitating squirrel* I like *not imitating squirrel* Garfield!

Darth_Lukeious111


The reason, Tom, I’m doing the imitating the squirrel from Kellen’s doodles (the one that says “I like nuts!”) because it’s funny!

TomAngleberger


I’m a big Garfield fan, too!

JediknightLuke


Tom I have two questions

1 Will you post instrux for the cover Han, Princess and Jabba?

2 When will you come to Washington state?

emperorpickletine10


2 fold cover han do the instrux from the book but glue the vest on like the one on the cover.

TomAngleberger


1) Those are all doable with existing instructions.

2) Not sure when I will get back again. I’ll be touring a lot next year, but don’t know where yet.

I saw your storm trooper video, I made one and it is stooky. I made two more but I had ran out of white paper so I used pink post. Its The Attack of the Pink Stomtroopers. My idea, make a pink storm trooper, put it over a face on a picture and add a funny comment or speech bubble on it.

returnoftanner


if jess is gone, who is the sf of the year? tom shall decide. tom, who is the sf of 2014 & 2015.

Jessenia


Since I’m walking by McDonalds right now I’ll leave a message

Replacing me pbecause I won’t be on everyday is just “weir dish in a dumb way”. That’s just… .-.

TOM had to figure out who is a good SF for 2015. It didn’t even start 2015! So THERTE will be a wait.

Therefore, I’m still for 2014.

TheNuclearGamer


I love your origami Yoda books.

awesomedude2

awesomedude2


I am a new super folder ,Tom.

awesomedude2


are you a Jedi?

yodamanbro

Tips from Webmaster Sam

1) After you submit... be patient. It can take 2-4 weeks for it to appear, simply because of the number of submissions submitted before yours.

2) A STRICT policy on the site is NO PEOPLE in your origami photos, including you. (Your hand is okay, but that’s it!)

3) Remember, clicking on SUPERFOLDER STOOKINESS is the best way to see ALL the origami SFs have posted! And if you like it, comment on it!

4) Take a little extra time and make sure you've got the BEST picture you can get of your origami. Maybe even crop and rotate the photo using a website like: PICRESIZE.com.
