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!
padawanmattchin

SFMichael

Jessenia

origami26wolf
I like the white oy cover
Banthafolder
Tom,SF,I need advice. Everyone in my class is good at soccer except me they blame me when I don’t stop it. What should I do?
Lord_Vader
Someone is better that everyone else at something. Try other sports, practice, and recommend it to them. I stink at soccer too. But I practice basketball. I am also good at math. But do NOT brag about it.
DylanSolo
Yeah kid, Vader is right.
Brace_Face
Make origami and prove your better than them somehow
Diamond_Yoda
Tom, I just found this out yesterday, and I got pretty excited.
Next Monday, the Inquisitor will be in action on Star Wars Rebels! I’m so pumped! And so is my origami Inquisitor.
charizard365
Hi Tom I am super folder charizard365 I was wondering if you are going to write a new origami yoda series, because i have a awsome new charactor for a new origami yoda series it is preety stooky.
Liam_Origami_Yoda
He will not write any new origami Yoda books but you can still make new puppets and have fun on Origami Yoda
Jessenia
Awesome that you updated the top.
So we ownbt have MODERATED talkzones? Like the TTT/SFTZ we used to have?
QueenMarci
Apparently not, unfortunately.
SFTMGames
Sorry Jess, but I think SFTZ is gone forever :,-(
BatMan_Returns
Tom, were did you get the Pilot G2 gel .07. Pen?
PauseenP
I got one at the dollar store Mr. Zero Seonds
BatMan_Returns
Tom, did you get my NEW letter yet? PS. I’m going to send you another one after I get a reply to the NEW letter I sent you.

BatMan_Returns 18 HOURS AGO
Hey Tom, I’m working on a EU story… and a new cover template… Can you guess what it is ???? Anyways, it should be done soon! ^.^
BatMan_Returns 18 HOURS AGO
Submitted the cover template…
TomAngleberger 5 HOURS AGO
I’m guessing…. Batman?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For the story, no. It’s a collection of EU stories…. I can’t say much…
And for the template, I submitted it yesterday to this site. It’s a template for the Whiteboard cover.
Arrow
“Guess what it’s about!”
“Ooh, Batman?”
“Nope. Can’t tell you.”
BatMan_Returns
O.O
Q: Is the TalkZone coming back?
A: No, never.
Not even 1 hour moderated ones???
Tom, can we have the Talkzone open only on Weekends? It’s the only time SF’s are free.
QueenMarci
I almost had that out of my head until youu brought it back. Just forget it. If Tom says NEVER, he apparently means never. Get over it
BatMan_Returns
I’m still kind of upset that we have no talkzone. The talkzone was the only way we could of talked to our fellow SF’s…
Jessenia
Womdering that too
DylanSolo
The TalkZone is not coming back !? Nooooooooooooooo!
Yodasquad
Threats I think
skyfolder999

Crazo2000
Tom, where and when did you think about making ‘Murkyisms’?
TomAngleberger
Okay SFs!!!!!
I answered a LOT of questions!!! So scroll down and follow the jump, etc…
Also, I deleted a LOT of comments. Trying to keep this from turning into a Talkzone. so PLEASE be careful what you post…
DylanSolo
Ok I got it !
TomAngleberger
Welcome back, Tanner!
(I had to delete your comment thread because it turned into a rehash of some old drama…)
Snoopygirl11
Tom is the paperback a new Origami yoda? Or just the first one in white?
P.S I am in south carolina right now!! 😀
TomAngleberger
Yes, it’s the same book with a new cover and a nice LOW PRICE!!
Snoopygirl11
Stooky!
starwarstwins7
Hey Tom, I didn’t know that you had Aspergers. It’s really cool that you do!
TomAngleberger
Thanks! It is cool sometimes. Sometimes it’s a big pain, but when it works, it works!!
C3PO1
Tom why does Webmaster Sam not of his own account?
TomAngleberger
Yep! Also we share this computer and logging in and out all the time would drive us both crazy.
Origamiseb

Origamiseb
Oh poop
BatMan_Returns
Hey Tom, I’m working on a EU story… and a new cover template… Can you guess what it is ???? Anyways, it should be done soon! ^.^

Liam_Origami_Yoda

TomAngleberger
Welcome back!!!
skyfolder999
hey tom, let me know if I’m not the first to try, but I’m writing an extra book under a pseudonym…
TomAngleberger
Sounds great!
Jessenia
Hey Tom, it was pretty cool today. we were talking about stuff in Virginia and 13 colonies (borrrrrring but cool). But then the College of William and Mary came up! (First college in the south) I was remembering of what you said…
My teacher asked if we knew anyone who went there, or goes there. I raised my hand (with staring faces) and said that I know! Tom Angleberger did! And his wife! They met there! 😀
SF_Joel_Skyfolder
tell me about it. were also learning about the 13 colonies.
Liam_Origami_Yoda
Oh the revolutionary war is actually really fun unit
SFMichael
the 13 colonies is so fun to learn about 😀
I actually wanna do something with social studies when i grow up… Lawyer? SS teacher? idk
TomAngleberger
You’ve got a good memory!
Yep, W&M started in 1693! Some very old building there!
Pickleteen
sf joel_skyfolder and me are in the same class and 13 colonies is like learning funtime!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jessenia
😀 veerrrrrry old
Lord_Vader
I am learning about Pilgrims
Liam_Origami_Yoda
Everyone!! I just realized something!! Tom made 6 regular books!! One for each Star Wars movie!! And also he has totally given us a hint he make another book. In Emperor Pickletine rides the bus, Kellen turned Tommy down for bus buddy so he and Dwight could work on a new how to case file!! Tom may actually be making another!! And hasn’t anybody realized that A) His name is Tom and the protagonist of the story is named Tommy!! He may be portraying himself or B) Dwight because Dwight likes Origami as well and the whole story may be based on Tom because I believe the Star Wars movies I think came out when he was a kid!!
SF_Joel_Skyfolder
Hint Hint RETURN OF THE JEDI
Liam_Origami_Yoda
I know right!!
Liam_Origami_Yoda
@ DV actually Tommy was planning to go with Sara but then she went with Rhondella and Kellen thought Tommy would go with Sara because he didn’t know that Sara would turn Tommy down so Kellen went with Dwight to work on their how to case file.
OrigamiJediYoda24
Hey Tom, what are you going to do with Origami Yoda now that you’re not going to make any more books?
Liam_Origami_Yoda
I think we (THE superfolders) will be able to keep it up with people all creting little stories. I feel what would be cool is if we all get one character and write a couple of stories each of what happens to them and send each to Tom!! And we don’t need to all do the same character each time so like I could Qouavondo and mike.
TomAngleberger
Do you mean the actual cover Origami Yoda? I’m keeping him handy!
Pickleteen
you never know what problems you might run into and it’s good to keep OY handy.
Yodasquad
But its micah time now
SFMichael
Tom what would a rat with a human face look like?
Will its nose still be long?
SFMichael
also if i sent my letter in september you will get it in like january or february right?
TomAngleberger
I should get the letter before then. But if I’m on a tight deadline I may not be able to answer right away…
OrigamiJediYoda24
Tom, did you know that there is an another Star Wars movie coming in summer 2015? Cause I’m excited! You should see the trailers on YouTube.
OrigamiJediYoda24
Or winter.
TomAngleberger
Right, winter 2015.
I asked to write the novelization of it, but they had someone else in mind I guess….
Pickleteen
heard it’s a super stooky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SFTMGames
Unfortunately, the trailer known as “Official Trailer” on MOVIEClipsTRAILERS is just pieces of Star Wars: Force Unleashed II, but I am fizzpopped up for a new Star Wars!
origamiyodafan10

I’ll post instructs(STOOKY!).), (2)an origami Mr. Howell (Same case file), and (3) my version of R2-FX (you know that droid; looks like R2, but is pink instead of blue.) For Mr. Howell, can’t post instructs because they are in the book! Phew! Plus, I do/don’t miss the talkzone.
TomAngleberger
Sounds great!!!!

BatMan_Returns 12 HOURS AGO
Tom, how come the cover for QuickPick changed? It’s now blue and doesn’t have the pictures of the kids. And I also saw the cover of the second one too. It was orange with a mouse trap that has a doodle of a rat inserted into it.
Captain_origami 6 HOURS AGO
Cool!!!
TomAngleberger 4 HOURS AGO
Where’d you see this?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Barnes and Nobles.Com
Jessenia
Now I get how you found the cover…
SF_Joel_Skyfolder
and thats why its up…
TomAngleberger
I hadn’t even officially seen the new covers myself!
Jessenia
Tom, will any “old” (first and second version od Qwikpick. Black background”) versions of books still be sold?
SFRobby
I still see them at hastings.
Jessenia
Okay.
TomAngleberger
Only until they run out, I guess….
Jessenia
OH NO
CHIPPY_SLUSHER
Do you have a top hat, Tom?
TomAngleberger
No…. alas.
SF_Mega3
Tom, how do you make the covers for your books.
CHIPPY_SLUSHER
The designers at Abrams Books probably have a really expensive computer designing program…
BatMan_Returns
called Photoshop.
CHIPPY_SLUSHER
No, they have some pretty expensive stuff… remember, this is the same company that published “the sisters grim” and “wimpy kid”…
TomAngleberger
The Abrams team does an amazing job!
I just send them the origami, the photograph it and do the rest.
An artist named Jason Roesenstock does the cover artwork.
Arrow
Thanks for the awesome new covers Jason and Chad!
Do all the books get white board remakes?
CHIPPY_SLUSHER
I hope so, Mattwebb…
Arrow
Imagine DP… 😀
Lord_Vader
Imagine my question mark cover…..
TomAngleberger
I think so!
