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!

CHIPPY_SLUSHER
LONG story…
YodaFan07
To a galaxy far, far away….
LOL
Darth_Lukeious111
TOO MUCH DRAMA! That’s where it went kapoof! Gone!
TomAngleberger
Yep
SF_PaperDragon
Hey Tom, can you read Chapter 3? I’ve run into a plothole. I need Ginzaekh to believe the dream has significance and to get his friends to believe too, and for his mom to let him go to Khriza. Any ideas?
SF_PaperDragon
Got it!
SFRobby
What?
TomAngleberger
Ha…. so You didn’t need help after all…. Good job!
CHIPPY_SLUSHER
Tom, did you go to the College of William and Mary?
TomAngleberger
Yes!
Gus_Grissom
Hey Tom, I’m CONSIDERING writing G2 origami yoda books( maybe including William Draw-lice or something.) would you sue me?
TomAngleberger
No, have fun!!!
Gus_Grissom
Wait. For the showcase, do we just submit our origami the normal way or is there a special way to do it?
Jessenia
I really don’t know what to fold because origami is 7/10 for me, but I’m much better in other art…
YodaFan07
You should start with a base and add some extra folds.
Then, you’ll think “Oh, this looks like something!” and then make it into the something you want.
That’s how I do it…
Or you can just do something else.
Darth_Lukeious111
You and Kellen need to have a doodle contest. Right, Tom?
Wooktent
thats exactly what I do! =D
Jessenia
Doodle contest. Hah.
Gus_Grissom
I would lose ????
TomAngleberger
YodaFanO7, That’s how I fold, too!
Crazo2000
Reading some of the comments, I remember that I folded a Obi-Wan Kenobi a LONG time ago. But now that I have already submitted my Origami Yoda (plus instructions), it seems too late to submit another piece for the showcase. 🙁
Darth_Lukeious111
Try it!
TomAngleberger
Stick with the one you entered… There will be another SHowcase before long…
Jaybbathehutt
What’s a showcase?
TomAngleberger
A slideshow with work from lots of SuperFolders.
It’s a nice way to get your origami on the front page!
yoda12

TomAngleberger
Sounds cool!
sf_timothy1
Tom, I think you should draw a graphic novel as your next project. That would be awesome!
TomAngleberger

BatMan_Returns

SF_Lou
Tom! I was walking home from school today and I saw a guy who looks just like you! He had the same haircut, glasses and looked about the same height! He also had a blue SW shirt on! He was just walking down the street. Are you in WA? XD
Jessenia
WOAH
TomAngleberger
That wasn’t me…. a lot of us nerds look alike!
SF_Lou
LOL!
SF_PaperDragon
I just remembered rancors don’t have toes. I’m such a nitpick. 😛
TomAngleberger
What are you talking about? Of course they have toes…
SPArman
I made my own salacious crumb but forgot how to make it. <{'o'}>
SF_Lou
Arman??? I know someone named Arman who makes origami!
yoda12
<{'o'}>
TomAngleberger
Send in a photo!
SPArman
I know how to make a simple jawa
SF_PaperDragon
I have bad news. Not bad for you, but for me.
Jessenia was talking about her moving, and i remembered that I’m moving too. On the 25th. My computer is probably going to be in storage, so happy birthday early!
BTW I have a picture of my BEST origami on my blog if you want to see it before the showcase. I’m submitting it right now. (BTW, you know what works really well for coloring origami? King-size sharpies! Just fold it on white paper, then unfold and decorate! Then refold again. That’s how I made it! Be sure to leave space for details, don’t just color the whole thing one color, and keep in mind that sharpies bleed, so only color one side of a section in the crease pattern.)
Jessenia
Well you’ll still be able to comment later. ^_^
TomAngleberger
A lot of moving going on around here!!!!
Well, once you get settled you’ll find away to come back, I hope!
Jessenia
Awesome Rancor! Though it looks comfusing…
And your birthday is coming up ^_^
TomAngleberger
Thanks!
SF_PaperDragon

BatMan_Returns
Tom, can you make a video for the Rancor? I don’t think I will be able to fold and cut all of that….
TomAngleberger
It’s easy…. once you make those cuts, you just smoosh it into shape!
Jessenia
Ooh Tom, can you update the About Tom page? It still says the Secret of the (secret)
SF_MyrMyr
