10.29.2010 - Again with the delays. Story Completed! Just getting Chapter 4 done took a bit longer than expected (3 months). Also, I notice that the art style on the last piece of art doesn't quite match the rest of the work. Sigh. But... I'm happy to see the story completed! Hooray! 7.12.2010 - What happened? And a new page... Well, as can be seen, it's almost been a year since anything Papaya has happened. Something which wasn't my intent, but I guess happened because life got in the way. My goal right now is just to get Chapter 4 done. I think that will be accomplished in probably 3-4 more pages, but their ETA is up in the air. Afterwards, I will try to get more ahead with the next chapter to help stay more on track with the deadline. To those people who have asked me "Where's Papaya?"

Page 14 is now up... we're almost at the conclusion of this story! 10.15.2008 - Look who's back! Story update... I've been gone for so long. It's kind of crazy to see that its been over a year. What happened? Well, I got very busy with Spitefuls. Which is great, but then Papaya fell to the side. I have to say though, that if it wasn't for two awesome coworkers, especially Jada (thanks!) - Papaya would have been a way for much much longer. It isn't much, but Page 13 is up now... with first time appearance of Nelson! Hopefully, I'm back on track to complete the first story. 8.13.2007 - Story update...

Yeah!!! You've probably see Papaya for a while... and the buttons, the ideas, and whatnot (and the buttons which were spelled oh so wrong, because, gentle reader, I can't spell - though you'd think I'd get my main character's name right... but noooooo)... ahem. For those who don't know me... And even bigger welcome and hi! Papaya is a little labor of love on the softer side of Spitefuls... I hope to keep updating and growing this story, and get it to a weekly update basis soon... I also hope you'll come back to keep reading and seeing what goes on in this crazy world of Miss Papaya.... comments, thoughts, and just saying hi! are always very welcomed... send them to me... let me know how you also stumbled across this (but you don't have to)... Hopefully there will be more story, fun things, and general goings on with this venture.... thanks again for checking it out! Marla :)
