Omigod, you started your numbering at 00 - as a former software engineer, I *love* that! :)
Thanks. Actually, I did that because I posted my first 55 Fiction on a Tuesday.
Former software engineer? I didn't realize you were so geeky.
The index really underscores what an impressive oevre you have. ("What an impressive oevre you have, Mr. Mehta.")
Someday your contribution to literaure will be recognized. It may not be during your lifetime, which would be particularly sad, because we're only talking about 2800 words or so, which people could read, like, in an hour.
If you want my two cents, I'd steer away from displays of mere gamelike virtuosity like starting all the words with the same letter. Plus you'd never write slightly awkward locutions like "asserting acrimony" if you weren't restricted.
