The biggest problem I can see with short stories is that the prep isn't really geared to setting up shorter stories, so I'm not sure how you would continue, despite the common theme.

However, if you need to change now, you definitely need to decide which road you're going to take with those. Brandiwyn🎶 may have a better strategy for you to take, but you'd have to profile your characters, deal with individual plotlines, look at the overall theme, and decide how objects and backgrounds played into it. I guess it could work, but do check in to let us know what you're doing.
