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:
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!
PauseenP
My next post is the 200th! (My site pauseenp.com) once I finish my homework I’ll make some thing STOOKTACULAR and put it up with the rest of the site. Maybe the COVER OF MY BOOK! Come check it out Tom!
TomAngleberger
WOW!
night_stalker53
Can you do book signing in Utah?
Lord_Vader
He said he will not not make it back for awhile… wait, HOLD THAT PHONE SOAPY! AND NO @&$%#-ING! Anyway, you live in UT? Me too!
TomAngleberger
Yeah. I was there for Jabba, so won’t be back right away…
Foldywan21
Tom I know I asked this before but it’s so far down I can’t find it so what is your most favorite OY book?
night_stalker53
I totally agree. Which is your favorite book.
TomAngleberger
Hard to pick…. but I am very very happy with the way EP turned out.
origamiyodarules
ep?
Foldywan21
Thanks!
Claire
EP is pickletine
lizardo
Sam, Tom, I do and I do not agree with your decision. I like the Idea of having no more Harvey’s, but there is more stuff that we like that we won’t be able to talk about. Tom, I will send a letter to you personally. Almost every superfolder has.
Wooktent
I don’t his address:(
TomAngleberger
Yeah. I know it limits what we can do on the site, but it’s better than having all that fighting!
Brace_Face
Yup i agree with tom
Claire
Dude,I’m listin’ to Weird Al Yankovic’s “Yoda”. Its a cover of the song “Lola”
CHIPPY_SLUSHER

TomAngleberger

When I bought it, it came in a little box hand labeled: #6!
sf_c3p0
Tom, I have two questions. 1) What is your favorite droid, 2) did you see a letter with a Jarjar Binks in it? (That one was mine… you don’t need to do the last part I wrote, because I already have an origami doodle from you.)
TomAngleberger
1. R2
2. I did get a letter with an AWESOME JarJAr!!!!
Snoopygirl11
Oh sorry didn’t know this page was open but what I said on RTS is still what I want to say here. I am truly sorry.
TomAngleberger
It’s okay! Really!!!
Wooktent
Tom, 2 things. 1. Will and if so when will you come to TN like Nashville or something? 2. And when will you put my “BEST” SFStookiness on???
night_stalker53
Or Utah?
Lord_Vader
Night stalker I answered your question.
Stegon
Or Kansas or South Florida?
TomAngleberger
1. I wasn’t invited to the Nashville book fest this year. Maybe nxt year!
2. Did you read the actual post up above?
WillDoesFolding
Hey Tom, I’m here to ask about Foldamus Prime (havent been on in a few weeks so I don’t know if you’ve answered back, too far down) so i’ll ask again how is he?
TomAngleberger
He’s STOOKY!
Stegon
I don’t know what to submit to the showcase… Should I make my new Indiana Jones that can transform into a paper airplane?
Lord_Vader
Yes… You must
TomAngleberger
Sounds awesome!
Stegon
Alright! I’ll fold him and submit it to the showcase when I get a break from working on our house.
SF_Darth_Jawa
Is it ok if I post something that I had help on and used tape? I want to enter the best showcase
TomAngleberger
Sure!!!
Pickleteen
Tom, you changed my life in so many ways!
TomAngleberger
Well… I hope in good ways!
Brace_Face
hi Tom did you get my letter yet if yes then what did you think of it it took me awhile to write 🙂
TomAngleberger
It wasn’t in the batch I answered yesterday…. maybe next time!
Brace_Face
Blu Ray No…….. 😥
Diamond_Yoda
Tom, I was thinking of actually thinking about writing a Origami Inquisitor book! But I need a plot. I can’t think of anything REALLY good, and your ideas are Stooky!
TomAngleberger
Don’t rush it…. just wait until the ideas come…
Diamond_Yoda
OK
Diamond_Yoda
I’ll take your advice
sfyoda
hey Tom I love watching the Nyan AT-AT keep running on and on and on and on and on…
TomAngleberger
Thanks!!!!
Me too!
TomAngleberger
SFs….
I answered a TON of questions. Scroll on down and follow to the the next page for all my latest answers.
Now…. Sam and I are going to decide what to do about the people who keep causing trouble on this site…
Jessenia
I have a bad feeling because I wasnt replied to.
…
TomAngleberger
For right now, Sam has suspended two SFs and has gone through to turn off comments on a bunch of pages.
If you continue to seek out old pages to comment on, you’re just creating extra work for Sam and you will be suspended too!
Jessenia
Oh…
I’mI will be the best SF I will try to be!!!!!!!!!!! STARTING NOW
But TOM, you don’t really wanna forgive us right?
MasterFoldrGrievous
I didnt do any thing worth suspending… right???
SFMichael
😥
lizardo
I’m with Jess! Lets do this thing!!
SF_PaperDragon
I can’t tell if you answered this question since it got buried but what’s Dwight’s middle name?
TomAngleberger
I did….
Jessenia
For some weird reason I can never picture Tom sad. in your videos you say HEY SUPERFLDERS! Not, “im truly disapointed in you guys…”. It’s weird.
SFRobby
Tom, have you ever read “A Walk Across America” by Peter Jenkins? We’re reading it for literature this 6 weeks. Someday I might do something similar.
TomAngleberger
Never read it…
SFRobby
It’s about a guys who walks across America. It is a true story too.
night_stalker53
Sounds like a good story.
SFRobby
It is amazing.
sf_timothy1
What is all this talk about some, “secret talk zone?” I don’t really read the comments that much anymore…
Lord_Vader
Search TalkZone
TomAngleberger
Just ignore it….
Pickleteen
Hey tom, my cover yoda has something to say to you.
Yoda: write more books you must, MUST!
TomAngleberger
Thanks, Cover Yoda!
night_stalker53
Hey Tom I’m new so you might not know me. But I’m the one who sent instrux of foldy-wan and Mara Jade (u got those right?). But I made a cover Yoda and I hope you and all the other SFs enjoy it. I’ll post the instrux soon
Lord_Vader
Hey Tom I am sorry ’bout the Secret SFTZ. I didn’t know that you did not want it. I thought (just like about 25% of the people who used it) that it was a test. I think others also owe you an apology. Once again I am sorry.
TomAngleberger
Thank you for the apology!
It was not a test.
Jessenia
Tom. I’m sorry. I mean it! I don’t know how many times I said this!!!
It’s so hard without the TZ… All THS SFS miss talking to each other…
Sorry for breaking a rule… Though I just went on it yesterday, when I didn’t know how long it’s been up…
Please don’t yell at us. I’m deeply sorry. I couldn’t help it. It was too temptin!
I can understand if you thought I was buttering you up. I was bored and said that. Though you are an excellent author!!! (No joke).
I’m solemnly promise, I will try not to to get in stuff like that…
Signed, J.
SFRobby
Yeah. I think that we all used that page because we missed the old days. Please don’t be mad Tom.
wallywestflash
There was a secret talkzone?
Jessenia
Uh oh.
Pickleteen
Tom, I know you think it’s hard but I would like it if one day you posted instructions for the real Floldy wan you don’t have to but I and a lot of other super folders would enjoy it. Please see what you can do.
Lord_Vader
Search my name. Look for the Foldy Wan instrux. Those are by Tom.
Pickleteen
Just did, and I have to say STOOKY!
TomAngleberger
Yep! Those have been up for awhile now!
Yoda1020
Tom what is your favorite piece of origami that a superfolder made ? PS: Guys Can you not comment on stuff until Tom answers this Question I did this Question once already an it got pushed down so far that i cant find it.
TomAngleberger
That would start a fight….
Pickleteen
Yes, yes it would.
Yoda1020
oh okay
ethrf
Tom what do you think the next book will be?
TomAngleberger
My NEXT book is Qwikpick2.
Pickleteen
Stookyfizzpop with plastic dinosaurs on top!!!
ethrf

night_stalker53
If a movie company made a movie of OY, would u rather have 20th centrary Fox or Universal do it?
Lord_Vader
Maybe dreamworks for a animated movie… Disney for real life (like reality shows)
Stegon
Stooky! I can’t wait for qwikpick 2!
Jessenia
How are you Tom?
TomAngleberger
FURIOUS!
I just found out about what’s been going on on old TalkZone pages….
SFRobby
Figures. At least we told you and reported ourselves once it got out of hand.
Jessenia
Woah.
Pickleteen
That was wise of you to get rid of the super folder talk zone it might of been origami yoda’s advice.
Jessenia
Yeah.
Pickleteen
Hey tom check out my origami cover yoda befor it goes to the back of the list of origami
TomAngleberger
Awesome!!!
Banthafolder
Hey tom I’m back !!!!!!!
TomAngleberger

Jessenia
TOM, one day you said we should have a TTT to talk about memorable barfs we barfed. Yes, you said that. I screenshotted… Though it never happened :/
SFMichael
memorable barfs…
when i went to the hospital cuz asthma sucks, came back at 12:00 am, after having a nice dinner earlier before hospital, barfed it all up
Jessenia
I have asthma too..
Never eat seven bowls of cereal and tacos after
SFMichael
XD
TomAngleberger
Okay, maybe we will…
SFRobby
My favorite barf was when I ate McDonald’s for five days in a row and threw up. From that moment on, I wanted to eat more McDonald’s.
Lord_Vader
Lol Robby. I also have a challenge for you that the post is coming in 2-4 weeks . Then read it
SFRobby
What?
Lord_Vader
My hint is it is called the “To do, or to try, there is no Minecraft”
SFRobby
I still don’t know what you’re talking about.
Pickleteen
Do or do not, there is no try.
Stegon
I have asthma too. It sucks.
Lord_Vader
I knew I got the saying wrong
LividJawa
Have you seen The Gremlins Tom?
TomAngleberger
Yes, a long time ago…
Pickleteen
Freaky!
LividJawa
Tom, I have made a ton of origami thanks to you! I always thought that I had a horrible life… AND THEN… my mom got me Origami Yoda at the library! It was an amazing book! Now I am a huge fan of star wars and origami. It was a great experience and I have made almost 50 simple yodas. I have also drew tons of mixed Star Wars characters like Emperor Bobatine! STAY STOOKY!!
TomAngleberger
Thanks, LividJawa! I’m so glad you like the books AND making Star Wars origami, too! Welcome to the site!

Today, we had to write a paragraph from a book. I didn’t have a good book.
But my friend Ariana (Tom, the girl you met at the event that was with me) had PL! She was saying a paragraph about Funtime. Then she started singing AH PA FA TA STA! I joined in, then everyone else learned it too. We got in trouble.
SeanSolo
lol, but not about the trouble part.
Jessenia
*Arianna
TomAngleberger
Trouble? BOO!
Jessenia
Heh
Pickleteen
Noooooooooo!!!!

Pickleteen

JediknightLuke
Why was the SFTZ shut down? I know someone named Matt pulled a prank but I don’t know what. You don’t have to answer.
HAL_9000
He wasn’t able to answer questions on tour.
Foldywan21
Wait? Huh?
TomAngleberger
WAY too much drama and rulebreaking!
Pickleteen
What the Hutton!?
JediknightLuke
Wait what?(I’m confused)I was just wondering what the prank was.
SF_PaperDragon
OY should continue as a webcomic.
TomAngleberger
Interesting idea….
stookyyoda5
What is your favorite color?
SF_PaperDragon
Blue. No, yelloooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwww…!
Foldywan21
Orange or purple is my guess

Foldywan21
I am also going to figure out how old u r! I’m almost there!
TomAngleberger
Better hurry, it’s almost my birthday and then the answer will change!
AdeleLeia
Me and my friend Jacob are writing another book! = stooky. It’s going to be the arrival of General Cresyus and bad things start happening and Mr. HOWELL becomes the principal.
the origami yoda books are the best books ever!! I’m a girl in 7th grade and they ROCK. Your a awesome writer Tom because you captured the spirit of how kids think and act.
Foldywan21
Totally agree! Why did u stop?
TomAngleberger
Thanks! Your new story sounds awesome!!!
JT
Tom,
Can you please make better instructions for your kirigami rancor? They dont make any sense to me but perhaps a video or written instructions would be better? What would be really cool would be if you could give instructions on Star Wars Reads Day like when you put darth maul instructions last time!
TomAngleberger
Hmmmm…. If you make the cuts, it shouldn’t be too hard to fold…
SFMichael
2 questions in 1:
I already posted my BEST creation, the USB drive ahsoka made to look EXACTLY like the on in PL. Can i replace my creation somehow? like change it?
And
When are the showcase entries due?
TomAngleberger
Lets stick with what you already submitted….
SFMichael

SFRobby

MasterFoldrGrievous
I need to know more about Doctor Glue! Is it a book? a movie? a clip on youtube? I have to know!
SFMichael
its a book series i started, and me and JC moved on, they will be back on the EU ASAP… i think… it will soon be a clip on youtube
MasterFoldrGrievous
Tom, what size was the cardboard for your rancor? I was hoping that might help me out since mine isn’t really that good.
TomAngleberger
Hmmm…. it was just a box flap. Maybe 5 x 9 inches or so….
OrigamiJediYoda24
Tom, can you make instrux for how to make Oui-Gon Jinn?
OrigamiJediYoda24
Sorry, it’s Qui-Gon Jinn.
MasterFoldrGrievous
That would be stooky!
TomAngleberger
I’ve never made a good one….
