I don't think he said he was just going to collect stories and turn it into a book. I think he was asking for stories to use as a jumping off point to build off of. I know I tend to do that. Granted, I don't always ask for them, but I do look for them, like if I'm writing a story where a main character is a recovering alcoholic, as a teetotaler, I realise I may need more information about how things work in AA. Granted, the overall trajectory of the story remained roughly the same, but I do think looking into it enriched the characterisation.
