What a great phrase :)

I look forward to getting a chance to read it!

Ok, I have read them all now. I liked many of them, some more than others, I enjoyed clicking from one story to another. Some of them, though, seem more connected than others. Some I didn't understand. Some, I'm still trying to figure out what the disaster was, and read them again thinking, what am I missing here?

It's fun though.
Do it again.
I feel like a teletubby. "Nochmals! Nochmals!"

Interesting point -- they don't necessarily actually all have a disaster. It perhaps bears mentioning that the title was the last thing we came up with. We really were just writing interconnected stories about anything, and noticed a theme of disaster running through many of the stories, and "23 small disasters" seemed amusingly self-deprecating. But perhaps it's more confusing...
