Talk to Tom Week of March 9: Ready for THE END?

Whether you’ve read Princess Labelmaker or not, you’ve probably heard that the series may be almost over… The book that comes out in September could actually end with… THE END.

What do you think?

Are we ready to wrap up this story?

OR do you want it to keep going?

Let me know in the comments below… or just ask me a question, say hi or whatever.

But remember, NO PRINCESS LABELMAKER SPOILERS.

(And for JarJar’s sake be nice to each other!)

Great news everybody!

The OY series is now #4 on the New York Times kids’ series bestseller list!

Behind HUnger Games, Divergent and Wimpy Kid.

Thanks a lot everybody! I couldn’t do it without you!!!!

SF_Austin_M


Hunger Games is on top? Stooky. I love HG, Wimpy Kid and OY. 400th comment btw!

SFCammy


YAY!

SFCammy


You might have beaten me Austin. 🙂

alexdarth99


Are hunger games kids series????

My dad saw me watching Hunger games and he told me to not watch such movies… (ive seen worse btw)

Proromayev


Congratulations tom!

SF_Gavin


How are those other books still even popular???

SF_Austin_M


Well, the Hunger Games has two more movies, Divergent has a movie coming really soon, and Wimpy Kid is Wimpy Kid, therefore it’s awesome.

Jessenia


Congratulations tom! It must be exciting for this accomplishment!!!! 😀 Us SFs are welcome!

Gageskywalker


GR8!! #1!!

King____Joel


oh yeah

SFDarkPalkia


I would think Divergent would be at the top, EVERYONE is reading it (at least at my school).

SF_Austin_M


I’m reading Divergent, it’s toaster waffles time stooky times rockets!

SF_Gavin


WHAT IS DIVEREGENT?!?!?!?!

SF_Gavin


WHAT ARE THESE GAMES OF HUNGER?!?!

SF_Mudflapper


Alex It’s only because It’s a movie my dad bought me one book with cuss words

superstookynessman


I haven’t read Divergent, I think Hunger Games doesn’t have an original plot, and I don’t know about Wimpy Kid. So I think OY should at LEAST be second.

SF_Gavin


Honestly, they are all overrated.

poke_folder2003

SFDarkPalkia


No

Hey everybody!

Things are going to be a bit crazy for the next two weeks, so please don’t get upset if I’m not able to answer your questions.

I WILL TRY, THOUGH!

Sam is overloaded too with another project, but he’ll try to keep the Stookiness rolling.

darkinvader

Jessenia


Ok

Gageskywalker


<(-_-)>

SFCammy


Tom, I read PL and… well… let’s say I’m interested in the sport you mention in the gym. (Avoiding spoilers!) This was a brilliant book, with some of the funniest sketches I’ve ever seen. Go Tom!

TomAngleberger


Thanks! I don’t think it’s spoiling anything to just speak of the great sport of CRAB SOCCER!!!

Proromayev


O_o you just spoiled something… Tom Angleberge just spoiled his own book… -_________-

origamiyoda11


No he didn’t he didn’t say what happened.

Sf_Spy_Rise


I have played crab soccer….but I have NOT read the book. Not much of a spoiler though. But crab soccer is pretty fun!

Hexagon

SFSlickSkillet


Hey Tom, I looked up the book Qwikpick and… who is Sam Riddleburger? Was that a made up alias or is that an actual person or what?

SFSlickSkillet


Thanxx!

SFSlickSkillet


In the words of Cy Curnin,

“One thing leads to another.”

Origami Yoda may end, but it can spawn a new series.

TomAngleberger


Very wise!

Judoippon


What in the Jar-Jar Nostrul Blueray are you thinking Tom? End the series? That would be like blowing up my Technology Assignment for school!!!!!!!!! (For Technology i am making a working version of Chewbacca’s Crossbow!)

proyoda123


What’s your next book?

darkinvader


Hey Tom, if you want you can use this joke in your next book: how did darth vader know what luke got him for his birthday? he felt his presents!

Origamiseb


Tom will you post instrux of the real princess label maker

SF_Mudflapper


It’s kirigami plus I tried to make the body and I found that the paper size is different by a lot

TomAngleberger


Cover Leia does have some kirigami, but most of it is based on the Nathan W base, which I keep meaning to make instructions for….

SF_Gavin


The Leia Instrux in Labelmaker are for the real labelmaker. The cover just has added feet and arms.

SuperFolder_Zod


Wishing that the series would never end, but…

IMPORTANT NOTICE OF TOTAL ROCKETS-ISH-NESS:

I have(finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) perfected Foldy-Wan.

And I know you’re thinking: well, Tom made instrux for Foldy-Wan already…

However, the design shown in Kellen’s doodles in TSAOJTP and PL is quite different and more complex than the design with instructions. I have been trying to achieve a design that is all origami, and has some sort of color change in it ever since I saw the first pic of the origami Jedi Knight.

And at last, I have. Notice, in the doodles, that Foldy-Wan has a REALLY big mustache. Well, with the help of a couple of pleats and a complicated 2 squash folds, I managed that.

The design starts the same way as Darth Paper, folding the top corners almost to he center. This makes the beard, and eventually, after the head is folded, you can fold down the body. Then fold out the sides like PL’s hair, and that reveals the other side of the paper(brown side).

It is TOTAL ROCKETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TomAngleberger


Thanks, ZOD!!!

Proromayev


Please post instructions for your Foldy-on. Or at least post a picture!

LandoCalrissian96


Can you post a pic on your blog?

AwesomeEwok


Tom I posted my Mara Jade. I hope you like it. 😀

art2_minecraftman


you could make it with diferent book caricters like bilbo bagins and indiana jones…

BUT DONT END THE SERIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TomAngleberger


Bilbo would be fun!

quigonjack

origamimatt

poke_folder2003


NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

DONT END THE SERIES I SAY YO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!

ILOVESTARWARS


If it ends soon, I will be really sad! It is THIS very book series that introduced me to the Star Wars series (and this is an instant love-at-first-sight-movie series) and I watched the ENTIRE Clone Wars Episodes in 1 week! Now there’s nothing more that’s star-wars related for me to watch, and this series is the only thing that’s left… 🙁 Please don’t end it soon!

Maximus


Hear, hear! This series is the reason why I love origami AND star wars! The stooky and nostrul cannot die! THIS SERIES MUST CONTINUE!! Otherwise, I will have to continue Murky’s legacy by coming up with a word to describe that level of depression that would come from the loss of this book series! 🙁

art2_minecraftman


like nostrolishus!

TomAngleberger


Thanks, guys!

Maximus


Tom, I’m curious: why haven’t you put an Origami Boba Fett or Bossk in your books yet, even though you keep mentioning that they’re always left out of the series! Are they about to be in a future O.Y. book, or what? In the words of Yoda: “Hrm… mysterious, this is!” 🙂

LTROCKS


DONT END THE SERIES!!! Or I will have to read… NO! Girl books!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

origamiyoda11


Hey what are you saying? Girl books are interesting and I take offense to this comment.

TomAngleberger


Right, plenty of great books out there that are great for boys and/or girls!

SWFMax


Books where the main character is a girl? Those can be monsterly bolt! My favourite book of all time (don’t worry, Tom, the OY books are in my Top 10 favourites!) has a girl as the protagonist, and that book is stooky. (I’m not gonna say the title, though, ‘cuz it’s kinda PG-13.)

CaveSpider10


No. No. That’s not true! That’s impossible!

TomAngleberger


NIce quote!

superstookynessman


I just realized that!

Robbiek


NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DON’T END THE SERIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Liam


NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! don’t and the series please!

Andy

RR


NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DON’T END THE SERIES! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Origamiseb

Superfolderzack

TomAngleberger


Personally?

Well, that’s what I’ve been trying to figure out ….

Owen


NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please don’t end it, this is the best book series ever!

yodafan


Hey Tom, you should put Princess Labelmaker instructions in how to fold.

art2po11


hello

JumpingCactus


Tom, do you like doughnuts? And if so, what’s your favorite?

TomAngleberger


Actually, I don’t like them so much…. I know that’s crazy, but there it is.

andrew1015


keep going! the books are awesome

SFSlickSkillet


What if Dwight met George Lucas in the book and had no idea who he was.

TomAngleberger


Ha! That IS a funny idea!

Jek_14not


Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don’t end the series!!!!!!! IT IS TOO GOOD TO END!

darkinvader


hey Tom did you name tommy after yourself? plus I know why sara owns the fortune wookie, you said your wife made it lol

SFSlickSkillet


Mind… Blown….

TomAngleberger


Yes, Tommy was sort of named after me. BUt that was before I got to know him. We’re not much alike.

I’m much more of a Dwight. (Sometimes Harvey.)

Cece is the real-life Caroline!

And she has a graphic novel coming out this fall that you guys are going to flip for I hope!

darkinvader


p.s you two have the same haircut

Red5


:O

Vader


NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KEEP IT GOING PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

art2po11

C3PO1

yoda8

TomAngleberger


That gets complicated.

Did you check with your local bookstore about gtting a signed copy?

yoda8

C3PO1


agreed

ILOVESTARWARS


There should be a new student in the school who is a Jar Jar.

TomAngleberger


Hmmm…. a student who IS JarJar…..

Origamiyoda_stooky


darn

Origamiyoda_stooky


TOM DO YOU PLAY ROBLOX!!!!!!!!!!

Sf_Spy_Rise


He plays minecraft….

TomAngleberger


Yep, Minecraft… But let’s NOT start arguing about which is best. That turned into a huge battle on the old site.

DarthNoah


Y’know, I first encountered this series in 2011 when a friend sent me an Origami Yoda and photocopied instrux to make one. I didn’t think much of it at the time, but in the fall of 2012 I remembered the instrux and bought the first book on my mom’s Kindle. I was hooked immediately. Then for the Christmas of that year, my mom and dad got me the Fortune Wookiee, then Darth Paper in 2013, and Art2, and Jabba, then finally Princess Labelmaker. I really can’t imagine the series ending, but I understand. You are an amazing author, and you’re books have some really good elements (I read some of the chapters to my mom: her current favorite is the Big Pink), and just really relatable characters. May the Force Be With You, Always.

-D.N.

Origamiyoda_stooky


My favorite chapter of all the books is in fortune wookie I WAS RIGHT

Ahsoka_Tano


yeah, it was very funny 🙂

Hayden_skywalker


I first read OY in 2011 too!

Robbiek


agreed with Origamiyoda stooky !

TomAngleberger


Thanks Darth Noah!!!!

Jessenia


I’m getting th book 15th-21th. That’s kinda like a week. So…. I hope it comes after that!

TomAngleberger


IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT UPCOMING CONTEST:

In about a week, I’m going to start up this contest to get your name in the acknowledgements of Book 6…

However, to describe what I need you to do, I’m going to have to give a SPOILER for PL.

So, if you want to join the contest, you should read PL before the contest starts…. or prepare for a spoiler…

alexdarth99


i cant read PL because i have red only the first book (yet)

But i really want to join and i dont care if i have to learn a spoiler from PL

alexdarth99


P.S. What exactly are acknowlegdements?

P.S 2 What is the contest about ( This is about the 10th time i ask this question :D)

alexdarth99


One last thing (sorry for spam): The winner will get his SF name or his Real name? Does he have a choice?

Origamiseb


I read the whole entire book it was awesome

Jessenia


Acknowledgements are when you thank ppl for helping you write the book.

SFRockHopper

superstookynessman


I just had a great idea for your book… make it like Olympus has Fallen and have something blow up! Even if it has to do with soda bottles I’m fine with that!

TomAngleberger


Hmm…..

Robbiek


Yeah!

superstookynessman


Like, they meet a bad guy and he sets off a soda bottle explosion and Tommy and Harvey say “HIT THE DIRT!!!!!”

Origamiyoda_stooky
