I would support a broad short story category. I like both themed anthologies (different authors) and single author collections so having the opportunity for people to nominate whatever they want and then choosing what sounds best out of that is appealing. I don't have much interest in non-themed anthologies but I wouldn't want to exclude them completely. If there isn't a reason for the stories to be bound together I would rather they not be. Some of the "best of 19xx" anthologies are like that.
