How do I name a bunch of short stories about the same characters? I googled it, but Anthology is for a collection from different authors.

from wikipedia:

In genre fiction, the term anthology typically categorizes collections of shorter works, such as short stories and short novels, by different authors, each featuring unrelated casts of characters and settings, and usually collected into a single volume for publication. Alternatively, it can also be a collection of selected writings (short stories, poems etc.) by one author.

My mistake. Anthology it is. Thank you!

Another well-used method is to name the collection after the central story that's featured in it. The one that provides the thematic pivot around which all others revolve. For example, "The Jam Spread", for a collection in which the central story is called "The Jam Spread".

There's also a variant, "X and other stories", so "The Jam Spread and other stories" works too. Or "Tales from Y", where a places/narrator/story element is present as a thematic element across all the featured stories. "Tales from the Moebius Incubator" would be, for example, an anthology that's about stories somehow tied to the Moebius Incubator, whatever that is.

I'm not sure how the finer details on story collections work, as I've never compiled one so far (and thus haven't researched the topic), but you can't go wrong whatever you choose. There's no set standard, afaik.

huh, the Anthology definitions Im finding don't state they are specifically for multiple artists/authors, But you could go with some synonym like Album, Compendium, Collection, florilegium,

Like "The ____ Collection". or "A [adjective] compilation of ____’s (Daily life/adventures/misadventures/exploits/escapades/exploits)”

Or honestly go with Kalliel's Suggestion.

I like it.
