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

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!

SFRobby
Why won’t you say?
SF_Austin_M
Fine, I’ll spill.
I found biggie size.
At the Wendy’s in my town, there’s a poster of the founder. On the poster, the guy is holding a tray of food. The thing holding the fries said ‘BIGGIE’ on it.

Tom, if you write another Star Wars book, what are you going to do with origami yoda and the rest of your stuff you made?
OrigamiJediYoda24
If you put away origami yoda, can I have him?
Yodamaster
Tom would never give THE Cover Yoda away.
Darth_Lukeious111
I call The cover Darth Paper! IT’S SOOOOOOOOO STOOKY!!!
Darth_Lukeious111
I mean it. He, Darth Paper, is stooky and Waffle-tastic. Harvey, er, “not so much” ( Harvey Comment Quote from JTP).
TomAngleberger
I’ll be keeping most of it.
I have given Darth Paper to Rancho Obi Wan, the Star Wars museum.
yoda12

OrigamiJediYoda24

TomAngleberger
Yes! Star Wars is awesome!!!
jediluke321
Tom, I have decided to try to watch Doctor Who. Should I start at the original, or the new series?
TomAngleberger
Don’t start way back in 1960s….
Maybe start with Matt Smith. Then go back and watch David Tennant. Or vice versa…
SFRobby
I started with the beginning of the new series. David Tennant is the best doctor.
jediluke321
okay, thanks!
SF_K_Origami
I started at the first doctor 🙂
OrigamiJediYoda24
I made a darth paper that you can lift up his helmet and you’ll see the face of anakin skyfolder! Tell me if you want instrux!

OrigamiJediYoda24
Sorry about the “the” in my last comment.
Darth_Lukeious111

TomAngleberger
Post it! With instrux please!
SF_PaperDragon
Oops, my entry doesn’t have “Best” in it. i’m pretty sure I put something about the showcase though. Showccase Entry– Pickletine or something like that.
CHIPPY_SLUSHER
Me too. I did my Doctor Glue but I think I didn’t use “BEST” in it.
TomAngleberger
Please resybmit with the word BEST. Otherwise Sam will miss it.
SF_PaperDragon

King____Joel
Does the next showcase have to be about Star Wars?
TomAngleberger
Nope, just stookiness
fett
they didn’t put me in the Emperor Pickletine acknowledgements!
TomAngleberger
“they” is me.
Did you enter the snackfood contest? That’s where the names came from.
SFMichael
This doesn’t really count as a spoiler because i won’t spoil anything, I’m just asking tom a question about Emperor Pickletine. But now my question to tom:
When you wrote the Ben and Remi chapter, were you thinking what Ben would think if he was reading it? (Ben was based off of a REAL super folder who sent tom a letter i believe) If i was ben, i would be going like O.O, “WAT!”
But Ben is probably a high schooler now to be honest
SF_Mudflapper
Wasn’t Remi too?
TomAngleberger
I don’t think Ben reads the books anymore. Remi probably doesn’t either…
SFMichael
Tom,
what was your least favorite school year? mine so far is 8th grade (the one I’m in ATM)
Geometry is really hard, and having soccer practice and games for school going to 5 (practices) pm and 6 (games) pm… So far i don’t like 8th grade… i think my new least favorite will be 11th, thats the one my brother is in ATM, and he thinks its tough. My brother is a straight A student!!!!!!! So this year, or 11th will be my least favorite
TomAngleberger
Sounds rough… Ninth grade was pretty hard for me to be honest….
But just get through it, because college is the fun part!
SFRobby
I hated 8th. But now I have geometry instead of algebra.
Jessenia
Hot chocolate answer? I must look into this… What book has this question Tom?
SFMichael
PL
its in the E.W.O.K.S chapter when she asked OY about making hot chocolate right
SFMichael
but it then converted into her making the EWOKS
StookyFett
Some would call it luck………Some would call it fate……….I call it The Force!

OrigamiJediYoda24

Lord_Vader

TomAngleberger

Jawafolderz
I’m going to probably enter my Jawa with some of my other creations in the background
LividJawa
Tom, me and a couple of my friends where going on here and realized that there was no more talkzone we where just wondering why it is gone. Thank You!
TheEvilJawa
He got rid of it because of so many Harveys’ bullying and saying mean things. It’s sad. 🙁
SFClone
