I don't think there are enough short stories for 13 episodes alone:
1 for Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody
1 for Endless Eight
1 for Charmed at First Sight LOVER
2 for Snow Mountain Syndrome
1 for Where did the Cat Go?
1 for Haruhi Suzumiya Theater (wishful thinking on my part)
That's only 7 episodes total, just enough to fit a full novel, like Disappearance, in.
Sure, there's also:
1 for Melancholy of Asahina Mikuru
2 for Editor in Chief Straight Ahead!
2 for Wandering Shadow
But you really can't tell those stories (except for maybe Editor) without the longer stories too. Melancholy of Asahina Mikuru is to volume 7 like Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody is to volume 4, and Wandering Shadow is the latest chronological story to date. We're probably not get a March story without hearing about the major world-changing even that happened in mid-December. Plus some of these stories have HUGE spoilers for volumes 4 and 7.
